Thursday Travels
How will you travel today?
Land or Sea?
When your bus escapes to the countryside…
When your moorings break loose…
…and you drift upstream it’s time to head for dry land.
…where you never know who you might meet.
Perhaps a day at the beach would be best…
…but keep an eye on the weather.
Or you may never be seen again…
Featuring Dexter, Josie and Alfie with Antipodean Stripy Stranger.
Silly Saturday – Wandering Ways
A nice day for a wander. Which way will you go, how will you travel and will you find the rainbow before the weather changes?
Silent Sunday
Advent Calendar – Wednesday Second of December
Covid Free Zone
The weather is grey and damp here so what better than an Australian Christmas tree to brighten us up.
But the elf had a trip to the beach hut yesterday where we had glorious sunshine. He is looking forward to some Christmas shopping as we are now out of Lockdown Two and in Tier Two, we can’t visit anybody, but can go to non essential shops, so let me know what you want…
Silly Saturday – Storms and Seas
If you live near the sea you need to prepare for storms.
But we don’t live that near the sea as we couldn’t afford a view.
Was sunset from the bedroom window heralding Storm Callum? We used to just have wind and rain till someone in charge of the weather decided we would take bad weather more seriously ( and join the big boys, the hurricanes ) if we had storms with names.
Morning brought rain and wind to the back door…
But we had to walk to the cliff top to check if Storm Callum had really arrived.
If it’s so windy you can’t breathe ( or walk straight ) it means you are having fun…
…and it was a good idea to take the scenic route to the shops.
Our best storm occurred on Valentine’s night 2014. Weather reports warned everybody to stay away from the coast, so we rushed to the cliff top at high tide the next morning.
Beach huts smashed to matchsticks, but no casualties locally except in my novel; this is where I got the idea for the opening to ‘At The Seaside Nobody Hears You Scream’ – my WIP novel which I have’t quite finished yet…
