Sea and craft group

I went out with Tina just before 10 am, she dropped me off near the Floral Hall. It was bitterly cold with the east wind but I wandered along and took some pictures, another dull day but I am pleased with the clarity and the zoom on this new camera.



The foam that you can see in the first shot was blowing around like snow. I took a lot of shots with the zoom trying to focus on the gulls without too much success, my hands were getting very cold by then, any excuse!



I had gone out early to go in and make a reservation at the Swiss Cottage restaurant as I had messaged yesterday and they said there was someone available from 10.30 am. A locked door, no bell and the answer phone when I tried calling to say I was outside. Will go down this evening when they are open before we go and have a meal to celebrate Darren's birthday.
I called into the shop on the way home to get some nice biscuits for the craft group this afternoon. Five ladies came and we had a very pleasant time, they left before Darren got home so he could get his car parked okay.
When Tina came in we had cake and Darren opened his cards and presents. We are off out for a meal later.
I will finish off with the card that I made at the craft session last night. I enjoyed making the background papers, the card blanks were waiting for us. We stamped and painted the figures. Probably not a card I would make again but as I said I enjoyed making more backing paper and this time we just used one coloured ink pad and applied it in different ways.

  1. Lots of nice beach pics. They look nice and clear. Bet you’re really looking forward to getting some nice sunny days there. Hopefully it won’t be too long now, assuming we are actually going to get some decent weather this year!
    That restaurant obviously doesn’t need the extra business if they can’t be bothered to open the doors when they say they will. Hopefully you managed to get it sorted this evening.
    Looks like the craft group meeting went well. Really nice to have the room to do it. They all look quite busy doing stuff and chatting away.
    I hope this evenings dinner out went well, and the birthday boy enjoyed it.

  2. The group meeting was good and as you say, nice to have the room to take my turn in hosting it.
    I am looking forward to taking photos on a clear day, I think they should be pretty good.
    Lovely meal out with Darren and Tina and I think Darren has enjoyed his evening.
