Full day and plenty more steps

I set off reasonably early for a walk, a lovely morning today with the fog gone. I walk to the front and along to the north beach and did a sketch.
I got a message from Anya saying they were setting off and would meet me at the hub cafe. I had just finished the sketch so headed back along the front. Just Anya and Louis came so after a snack they went back for Isobel and I walked home to check the meet in the slow cooker. They collected Isobel and came to pick me up to drive to Morrow Avenue and walk on the beach from there. We spent quite a time meandering, Isobel was looking for sea glass.
The cloud had built up quite a bit by the time we were ready to leave and that changes the look of the sea.
Then Darren joined us and we went to the garden centre, Anya and family wanted to look at the Christmas stuff sale. We had coffee and cake and a good wander round the sale.
When we got back I starting getting the roast dinner ready. Tina had got us all delightful little jigsaws with unusual shaped pieces, we all did them after the meal. Mine was a lovely Angel.
Then we played a couple of games. It was getting on for nine when the family went back to the apartment. Clearing away and blog done and I will soon be heading for bed.

  1. A very busy day for you, but I’m guessing a pleasant one too. An early morning stroll to the beach is always a good start to any day, specially when it looks as nice as it does in your pics. A very early sketch as well.
    It looks like the afternoon beach visit went well too. Bet it was chilly though. Did Isobel have any luck finding sea glass, and what does she intend to do with it?
    The jigsaws look lovely and unusual. Tina manages to find some great things like that.
    A long day, but nice. Hopefully you’ll get a decent nights sleep to finish it off.

  2. I thin Isobel enjoys the challenge of finding the se glass, don’t think she has my particular project for using them
    Lots of people about enjoying the beach, quite a few fishermen again as well.
    Six of us doing the little jigsaws was fun and lovely keepsakes.
