This morning Darren and I spent a while indoors doing odd jobs. I did get out my little mini drill to make some extra holes in the pots I bought yesterday.I was using a slightly bigger drill bit and Darren found a piece to fit it into the chuck in his set, maybe I have lost some pieces of my kit. We then went off out, first of all to Curry's where I bought a Gorillapod!
You can attach the camera to this and it is flexible so that you can take photos without a shaky hand! I did try taking a picture of myself with it just standing on the footstool, I had read up about setting the self timer.
Then we headed off to Deans where we had a light lunch and then bought compost and bedding plants for the pots. I have a lot of bulbs to put in them as well. There was a Frozen display which Darren thought Isobel would like, I am not sure if she is now over the Frozen phase but it was a lovely display.
When we got home and unloaded the car I decided to go to the beach hut for an hour. I took the Gorillapod and fought a bit to attach it to the railings and then focus on the castle when really zoomed in, I am sure it will get easier with practice!
I walked back along the upper path so get a nice view of the beach huts.
I walked back through the park and just like this seagull on a boat, perhaps he was thinking 'I see no ships'!
We will have dinner a bit earlier tonight so that I don't miss any of the Halloween show on Strictly!

    Everywhere you look there's something about Frozen! When will it ever end? Frozen 2 soon I suppose!
    Humbug!
    You'll soon get used to using the gorillapod, then you'll wonder how you ever managed without it :-)

      Not quite so much Frozen around but still more than enough. That room did look pretty though. Will probably try the pod again tomorrow.

    I'm sure your soon get the hang of the pod, it will make a huge difference. All the kids like frozen boys and girls alike. I see you like the large poppies, we both always go for the large one's. Those men/women deserve that little extra.

      That poppy is actually knitted. A member of staff at Sainsbury's made 500 last year and all the proceeds go to the Royal British Legion. I think she has had a bit of help and made 1000 this year! I will probably buy a usual one as well, like you, I do think we should support the poppy appeal. xxx
