We stopped for fish and chips, don't you just love seaside fish and chips?
Then we headed to Hunstanton for another seaside favourite.... ice cream

It's amazing how quickly the light and colours change.

What a difference a few days make, these pictures were taken last week-end and a lovely mild week-end it was, this week-end is the opposite, freezing cold wet, grey and snowing, I hope you are all keeping warm.
While at the coast I collected a few pebbles with the idea of painting them, but if I decide to do more I'll get them from the local garden centre. I'm not to sure of the by-laws regarding removal of beach material, I think taking a child sized handful as a holiday souvenir is a bit different than taking a bucketload to paint. I often paint on pebbles and pieces of flint. Here are some of my previous ones that I made into fridge magnets.
It's Handmade Monday time once again so I'm off to pop my link over at the Handmade Harbour blog so why not grab a coffee and join me.
Have a great week

Lovely photos. A trip to the seaside is so uplifting, I think. Love the fridge magnets! Yes, it's illegal to take pebbles, although I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for it and I have "stolen" small pebbles myself... although I think driftwood is a different matter and classified as litter (yippee!).
ReplyDeleteIce-cream and sunshine - what planet are you living on????? It's been very dull here and I'm envious of those clear skies - super photos! Glad you had a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. You look like you were very lucky with the weather during your trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful photos! You certainly picked the right week for your trip :)
ReplyDeleteI love your painted stones, the textured surface adds so much character, i look forward to seeing what you do with your latest finds! x
Such lovely photos your pebble paintings are gorgeous, I didn't know the beach had by laws re taking pebbles
ReplyDeleteI love those places. There always seem to be loads of pebble painting at Aldburgh. I have never thought about the legal aspects but I suspect you are correct. I have never seen pebbles like yours - you take it to a whole new level. True art. I look forward to seeing more :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - reminded me of a lovely long weekend we spent there a few years ago. Your pebble paintings are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous, you've made me want to run off to the seaside to get some fish and chips. Your magnets are lovely. I really like the daisy one, it's brightened up my chilly take. Have a lovely week.

Ice cream and sunshine? I must have dreamt I read this somewhere.... I love the pebble paintings, such a clever idea. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteMy parents live on the norfolk coast - it really is lovely isn't it. Very nice pictures
ReplyDeleteWell I have never been there, but your photos make me wish I were there! Yours is the second blog I've read this week to mention fish and chips. Must be something in the air, the smell of salt and vinegar perhaps!
ReplyDeleteLove the little pebbles you have painted. I collect sea glass, and the odd bit of drift wood.

Your pebbles look good. Love the bird you have painted. The weather certainly is being very fickle at the moment. Hugs Mrs a.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos-it looks like a great place to visit.Love the little painted pebbles-reminds me of the ones I collected as a child.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - make me wish I was beside the sea on a sunny day :)
ReplyDeleteOh, love Wells and Hunstanton - it's been so long since I've visited them - thanks for sharing your wonderful photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos, I can almost be there on the beach they're so atmospheric. The pebbles are really sweet - I think there are rules but they apply more to people removing lorry loads for their gardens due to the flurry of garden makeover shows in the past x
ReplyDeleteOhhh Jan, what lovely pics! You could almost have been in another country in the middle of summer with those shots! Love the painted pebbles, really pretty :-) Simmi x
