Few words and lots of carving.

No I didn’t try this, looked too complicated. Do you like your walks with or without augmented reality?

Where is your favourite place to see art?
Busy, busy, busy, formatting the garden, watering visitors and expecting a new paperback… only time for a little local stroll and perhaps a coffee. Enjoy a wander.
Is it going to rain? No, it’s always sunny in Southbourne-on-Sea.
Local volunteers have been busy planting.
Outside, inside or on the roof…
Yummy, picnic time, wonder what they sell? Answer at the end.

The Saddest Tale
I found 33 out of 45 mermaids’ tails, nearly three quarters, then ran out of time, though some were way off my bus or walking routes anyway. Some people apparently snapped them all on the first day! There was plenty for children to do at the farewell event, from games to painting their own tails. The whole event must have taken a lot of planning and a lot of artists. The final part will see all the tails auctioned off.
