Had a week away just over the border in Wales. Stayed in Chirk and while there visited the fab Pontcysyllte aqueduct in Llangollen.
Saw this fab art installation on the canal bank showing pieces of ceramics, bricks and tools that were found during the digging out of the canal. Very interesting 🙂

Ooh there goes that sound again 🤭 I quickly balanced on the caravan step, turned my phone on and hoped for the best!
Beautiful sight to see.

The unmistakable sight and sound of geese this morning, (and grey sky) just beautiful 🤗
I wasn’t quite awake enough to see what type they were, I just shot out of bed at the sound 😅

I saw it, picked it up, traced around the white circle, made a wish, threw it into the ocean.

We had a great beachcomb this morning, founds lots of sea glass and pottery, happily no rubbish to remove at all!
This little red piece I thought was nasty plastic so removed it, a closer look later and found it’s actually glass 🥰 a beautiful teeny red glass bead with ‘c’ marks.

Bullrushes and pac man spotted on the beach at Lynemouth this afternoon 🤭

I’m very happy to hear that my sea glass framed picture of Anglesey has sold and is off to a new home in Canada! 🇨🇦
The family have relatives who came from Ynys Môn and are taking a little slice of the island back with them.
Some glass used was from the island 🤗🩵🌊

I’ve just had to ‘dispatch’ this what I think is a nasty horsefly that was in my living room.
I don’t want to ever be bitten again by one and have got my 7 month old granddaughter here so…. local rag to the rescue! 🗞️

🩵 it when I find out what the original item would’ve looked like from a piece of sea glass found.
This little pansy has led me to discover it’s from the 1930’s depression glass, name Doric and Pansy
Teal colour from Jeannette glass manufacturer,Pennsylvania USA.

You’re never to old to learn!

Beautiful clouds, cheeky gulls and some beachcombed finds.
Last day tomorrow….. 😏
