Snookery Crafts

After The Gales

After having two days of gales, I knew it would be a good time to go beach combing.  You just never know what might get washed up.  On getting to my favourite place, the beach certainly had been landscaped.  The shingle had been moved right up the beach and there was more driftwood and even 2 red buoys.  You have to be quick to get the best bits as I found out!!!  There was quite a nice tree root and on thinking I would pick it up on the way back, found that as I turned around it was being carried down the beach by two other people!!

However, I did find this tree!!!  My husband just gave me a look as if to say, "your mad".  However my daughter was more helpful and so I ended up taking off some of the roots, putting it in a tub filled with stones and wrapped solar lights around the branches.  Looking forward in seeing it lit up later.

There are times when being creative can take you down roads that you never expected.  Very happy.

Snookery Walks in the Sun

Beach Walks

Living near the beach (about 4 miles away) is wonderful and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Here in the South of England, just opposite the Isle of Wight makes me feel very blessed.  You have Southampton Water to the right, where you see many liners, tankers, yachts and little boats as well as the kite surfers and various other water sports and activities happening.  Then away in the distance to the left would be Portsmouth.

 

There is nothing like walking along the beach and beach combing.  You just never know what you may find.  

We had such lovely weather a few weeks ago, it almost felt like summer had arrived.  

There is a bird sanctuary a bit further down the beach and a lovely little harbour for the boats.

Hoping to have time to find some bits here again, I'm running out of drift wood and there are craft fairs coming up.
