Trip to the Seaside

What a week! I’ve just got back from a trip to the seaside, I stayed at a little bay on the coast with some friends near Plymouth. We had a great time, it was so nice to have a relaxing break. The weather was kind to us all week apart from Friday when it poured down with rain, but we didn’t mind as we were shopping indoors!


We had lots of fun outings together including some long walks with breath taking scenery. And a spot of fishing in the rock pools too!


I was in heaven on some of the beaches and couldn’t stop snapping away with my camera, taking inspirational photos of the rocks and caves for my work.


I collected a whole bunch of these flat pebbles from the beach, they certainly made the car heavier on the way home! I’m going to make some photo frames and decorate the edge of some mirrors with them.


We couldn’t resist building a sand castle! You can see how flat the pebbles are more clearly here…


This is what some people decided to do with the pebbles! We saw a few of these along the beaches, people built them to light a fire inside at night, I thought they were really cool.


And it wouldn’t have been a holiday without some sunbathing!


I’m feeling very refreshed and inspired after the well needed break, ready to crack on with orders and more new work.
Hope you all had a great week x
