winter beach trip

On Saturday it was a crisp and sunny November day so we went to Nairn beach. We always ask ourselves why we don't go more often because as soon as we arrive and smell the salt air and hear the crashing waves, all stress disappears.

Splashing in the sea in your wellies is great fun, and all was going well until she underestimated the depth !!! Brrr! Just as well I brought a change of clothing.

Standing atop the dunes looking out to sea...nothing but beach for miles and miles.

You might just be able to spot me lurking beneath the sand dune here. I hate seeing myself in photos, so that's about all you're going to get for now :-)

Sigh!  I hope I can go back there soon.

oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

On Monday it was the first time it has been warm enough in a LONG time! 

So we headed for Chanonry beach.

 We all enjoyed a paddle. And my girls had great fun making cool shadows.

I love my little girls hat. It is from the 1940s.  It belonged to my mother when she was little and I am sure I must have worn it too. It is still in perfect condition and is completely reversible. I should try to make a pattern from it and make a few more.

Naomi took some cool pictures. You might want to check out her latest blog.

I really like these photos she took...
