Quite a busy day today. Tina and I went to shop, after having a nice breakfast, then she dropped me off in town as I had a couple of errands to do. I picked up details about hiring bikes and also made a chiropodist appointment as I have been having trouble with the nail on one of my little toes. After a quick rest indoors I headed off the see my fabulous present. Tina had booked a beach hut for me for three months and I was excited to go and check it out. It is Osprey 7, a good way along the front, but higher up with a good view of the sea. This was looking out.
They are pretty smart inside and have a sink and cupboards, a kettle and toaster, 4 deck chairs and cutlery and crockery in the cupboard. There is also a light because you can use them between 7 am and 10.30 pm.
My little home from home is the bright yellow one.
It was grey and cold today, everybody was in their winter coats! The wind was blowing towards the hut so I will make sure I have warm clothes on. But when the doors are closed it is quite cosy.
I spent a couple of hours there and did some crochet. At 5 pm Tina took me down in the car and we took a blanket, a footstool and a little dvd player so I will be all set tomorrow. I have done some cooking this evening, dinner and two lots of muffins. Banana and walnut and some called Doughnut muffins. In Peterborough yesterday I saw some great marbles at Van Hage, and have wanted to get new ones for the solitaire game that Mike made me a long time ago. I think they look fabulous and he has also made me a Nine Men's Morris which I photographed as well.

  1. A fantastic present! Well done D&T :-) I look forward to testing it out next visit.

    The new marbles on the solitaire look really nice. I struggled to find any marbles at all when I first made it. I still have the jig I made for laying out the holes, so may make some more. I'll keep Scarborough in mind for marble supplies. Have you worked out the rules for Nine Man Morris yet?

    1. You don't need to come to Peterborough for marbles, go to Van Hage!! No, have to find out the rules.
