After days of rain, today was bright and sunny, and as it is forecast to rain again tomorrow and all weekend, I thought I should make the most of it and get out and about. I even persuaded my friend Tony to come with me :-)
We are so lucky to live so close to the sea. I love it. What I would really love though is a beach hut - but at the prices they go for around here, I think I will have to wait for a lottery win!
Aren't they pretty? There was even one which had double glazing, and when we peeked through the windows there was bunting, picnic tables and all sorts of pretties. Sigh. The middle photograph above is surely destined to be my craft studio one day. So, so pretty; the perfect size, and best of all is the fact that right behind me while I took the photo is the beach - so I could craft with a view!
We stopped to look at a pillbox - the sort of thing you would just walk straight past as it looks like a stone box. There is a little plaque which reveals it's history as a WW2 defence against invasion.
The flowers are doing their best to remind us that spring is here, the summer is on it's way, and the cold gloomy days of winter will be soon gone. Hopefully!
And this is what I've been working on this afternoon - I hope to have a finished product to show you before too long - although I have spectacularly underestimated the amount of fabric needed, and I haven't even thought about buying batting for it yet. Still - it's a start.

I love the photos, thank you, and your quilting project looks very interesting.
Lovely photos! It's been windy, grey and gloomy here for days, too. I wish it would either rain or go away, so the sun can shine! Thanks for sharing the spring-ish photos!
Gorgeous photos, that pile of fabric looks lush, love your quilt so far
