This morning Darren and I went to the boot sale, it brightened up nicely but was spoilt by the wind, although I should expect strong wind having lived here for getting on for a year now! I got some embroidery hoops cheap and a selection of Christmas materials. I was thinking of hoop storage bags and Darren said how about stockings, which seemed like a good idea. When we got home I got my stuff together and set off to go swimming. Quiet today but I only stayed in for half an hour. Was put off by a man doing back stroke careering into me in the deep end, hadn't intended to drink that much pool water! I took a walk down to the front and saw the finish line for a 'Rat Race' cycle race.

The medic vehicle was unusual at the seaside!

Walking back through the park this hydrangea looked lovely against the water.

This afternoon I made a pattern to make a stocking with the stuff acquired at the boot sale. The first one was the wrong shape and not long enough to look right on a hoop!

So I set to and made another pattern and it is on the hoop, but not sure that I am happy with this one either!

I did see the tennis final, very good match.
