I have been wanting an old fashioned towel rail for some time as I have to put an airer up to dry my towels after a shower or try and throw then over the shower surround! There was one in the auction on Saturday and I made a bid on line. Well, I got it and Tina collected it with me this morning. I think it is early 20th Century and I really like it. Now in use on the landing and I can still get to my rooms!

Most days a different sky and yesterday evening was no exception!

Tina dropped me off at the end of North Marine Road after we had collected the towel rail and I cut through so that I could have a look at the sea. Quite a dull cold day today and it was pretty deserted apart from runners and dog walkers.

Those of you who have been up here know that there is a huge statue of a man sitting on a bench along the North bay, but this photo looks like a giant enjoying the view, and the little people passing by!

Walking back I saw the signs of autumn well on it's way.

The rain had settled on a large leaf in the garden. Really must get the inclination to get in the garden as it is sorely in need of some attention.

I have spent a lot of time trying a new recipe this afternoon, guess I am out of practice as well. This is a coconut and mango cake, the frosting is more like custard so will be hysterical when it comes to cutting it, let's hope the taste is worth the effort.
