Darren and Tina got home after 10 pm last night and they had a very good holiday. They hunted out their official pictures from the cruise on the Queen Mary 2. Looking very glamorous.

I took photos of their pictures, so not as clear as theirs, but you can get the idea. They had colour and black and white copies so will post the individuals in monochrome. I think Darren should be lined up as the next Bond!

This morning I stayed in as I had a delivery coming today. Tina came in at lunchtime and we went Sainsbury's to have some lunch and get a bit of shopping. My delivery came mid afternoon so I decided to go for a short walk and post a couple of letters on the way. I saw lots of geese, I do love the Canada geese, took a few pics again but will just post this rather elegant looking specimen!

I love the way that hydrangeas change colour and have varying shades on the same plant.

Passed these bushes with berries on the way to the beach.

I decided to paddle in the sea today as it was quite calm. So we have had footprints in the sand, hoof prints in the sand and now bare feet in the sea!

I took this picture of a seagull on a rock out at sea.

After that I spotted a bird that definitely wasn't a seagull but a heron. This picture wasn't the best but a lot of gulls in the background.

Managed to get one better close up of the heron.

Then one more, not so clear, but it was on the move.
