It was a pretty day today and let's face it, how many of them are we likely to get this time of year? So Mum, Sis and I went down the Mumbles for the afternoon.
We sat in the car as the wind was pretty thin and we drank hot chocolate and ate fairy cakes while watching the gulls bob up and down on the swell.
And then I went beach combingWe sat in the car as the wind was pretty thin and we drank hot chocolate and ate fairy cakes while watching the gulls bob up and down on the swell.
On the list of my favourite things, rock pools are surely in the top ten, especially ones that the tide has just left.
I was in search of pebbles of which there were more than a few.
Mostly on the beach,
but some on ledges as if laid by a rather absent minded dragon.
The above are quite small specimens, a little smaller than a hens egg and they will do just perfectly as warp weights for my tablet weaving. There is no more reason to stall on this little project. I have had the tablets for weeks and I have all the yarn a girl would ever need. I even have a proper reason/ goal for the braid rather than just pootling about. But...but...but I am loath to get going on it. Procrastination - I duz it.
As you can see, I have found the camera, so there will probably be an increase in posts for a while...at least until I lose the camera again.
Hope you had a pretty day too.

A lady after my own heart. I loove beachcombing like no other activity on earth! Well, besides eating perhaps. and sleeping :-)

Patois: The absent minded dragon and I have a lot in common! :o)
TD: Our local beaches are particularly good for combing, then off for fish'n'chips and an ice cream and then home for a nap after all that fresh air! A perfect day.
