Wells next to the Sea

I've had a bit of a quiet week regarding crafting, My sister and her husband came to visit for a few days and we all had a lovely relaxing time. We had a day trip to Wells Next to the Sea....

A Beautiful Day at the Coast

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


Hunstanton Sunset
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

Swirly Tree & Daisies on Canvas

What lovely weather we have had the last few days, today we took advantage of the weather and rode to Wells Next to the Sea, a lovely coastal town in Norfolk, it was still a bit chilly on the coast, well it is still March, but lovely and warm out of the breeze, it was great to go out without thermals on.

We then rode to Hunstanton for lunch, on the way we saw....

AA Call Box and our V Max

There are only about 19 of these AA Call Boxes left, some are in museums, this one is on the A149 at Brancaster.
As for crafting, this week I've been busy sewing my critters (see previous post) but no photographs of those as yet, and painting canvases for my up and coming show.

Swirly Tree and Daisies
 
I believe it's going to be another dry and sunny week so I'm hoping to get some gardening in and maybe doing a bit of jet washing before a hosepipe ban comes into force.
 
I'm linking this post to 1st Unique Gifts blog as part of Wendy's Handmade Monday. Please pop over and have a nosey at what Wendy and all the other bloggers have been up to.
