A bit more active

 I went early as usual to get the rolls for lunch then waited until the shopping arrived. Then I set of for a walk, heading to the sea front first then along the trail and calling in at Tesco on the way home. I took my rucksack as I intended to buy some marzipan. It was a very cold wind and the first photo is of pampas getting blown about.

I took a couple of photos of the sea from the same spot and they look like they were taken on different days..
I took some photos along the trail.



I bought marzipan and apricot jam plus some honey. I am glad I didn’t buy more than that as I really struggle with the weight of the rucksack on the walk home.
This afternoon I did some washing and managed to shorten the trousers I abandoned a few days ago.
Tina had ordered some flowers for a service tomorrow but when the church warden dropped in she said they had been ordered. So I got some nice flowers by default.

Tina got lovely gifts from the church members as they had really missed her, she had a bouquet, a fruit and veg box and a Ringtons gift set with a lovely card.
I have watched Strictly, there were some very good dancers.
We will go to the boot sale in the morning as long as it is fine.

    Definitely looks a bit blustery by the sea today. Strangely not many people about either. Those two photos couldn’t be more different. I actually like the first one it’s extremely atmospheric and looks like a black and white shot. Hope you wrapped up well for the walk. It does look slightly less windswept along the trail.
    Bugger, that’s a lot of marzipan! I’m not surprised you struggled going home. You should have took the trolley, at least it takes the weight for you.
    I’m surprised the trousers didn’t end up in the bin. I remember you weren’t too happy last time you tried to shorten them 😊
    Nice flowers. Ordering mistakes are a Jan bonus. Good job you have some big vases.
    That was a really nice thought from the church members. I bet she welled up.
    Hope it stays dry and calm and in the morning for you 🤞

    I did have a nice warm coat on and I was pleased I decided on it. It was sheltered along the trail, lots of people, mostly with dogs along it, it is a pleasant walk.
    That marzipan should do the six cakes that are going to Peterborough, I will definitely take the trolley next time.
    They are pretty flowers so a very good unintended surprise.
    I was very pleased to get the trousers shortened, must have been feeling calmer!
