menorca

I have been to menorca for two weeks and taken A LOT of photographs. Week one is on Flickr, if you think you might like to browse click here
maybe at some later date I will compile a selection of words and notes, but there are other slightly more pressing things to do at the moment - like going to bed and having a good sleep; making and writing some midwinter/christmas cards; watching the clouds and blue patched fly across the sky and the blackbirds continuing with their feasting on the cider lawn.....

bank holiday weekend

Another bank holiday weekend is upon us. so friends arrive from the city and we go to the beach. after having been to the swings and climbing frames. of course it is not really beach weather. I have my red tarten blanket with waterproof backing and we wear fleeces. many big cars and big dogs on the beach and big noisy marine machines on the sea. why do people think it is a good idea to have cars on the beach...and in a natonal park? we are not going to see dolphins again with all the jet skis and motor boats.

So sand- castles were made by adults and sometimes knocked down by a child. ice cream was eaten with chocolate brownies.

Bank holiday monday has proven to be very cold with a wet morning. Also very windy, perfect for a playing park for children up in the hills.
