Beautiful Beach Huts

Styling The Seasons - August

Sunday Snapshots

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a lovely weekend!

As promised, here are some snapshots taken on my phone from our trip to Great Yarmouth a few days ago...I know I've posted about Great Yarmouth before, and how much I love the seaside funfair vibe and retro arcade facades (Post with more pictures of the carousel here and beach huts here).  Although Great Yarmouth has a reputation for being a tacky, faded seaside town, there is still great beauty there if you look closely, and the beach itself is fab, with wide golden sands.  The fish and chips are excellent and there is so much for the children to do - sandcastle building (obviously!), rides everywhere but the carousel on the pier is beautiful, seal spotting, 2p slot machines in the arcade, crazy golf, bouncy castles, treasure hunting at the shoreline, and the Sealife Centre is brilliant especially for younger children.

I have actually cheated a little bit with the pictures above - picture number three wasn't taken at the seaside at all, but I had to include it in this set as it's just so pretty - I took that snap at the Radio One Big Weekend which came to Norwich last weekend.  For those of you who don't know, I'm a bit of a festival addict with a penchant for guitar music!  So I was in my element as I saw Muse, Foo Fighters and Florence and the Machine amongst lots of other bands.  So much fun and many cocktails were consumed!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Pebbles...

Hello all!

By the time our holiday was finished and it was time to go home, our caravan and awning were filled with buckets and buckets of pebbles. It wasn't just the children that collected them - I can't resist scouring the beach for a perfect, smooth, oval pebble. We put most of them back on the beach, the children painted pictures on some, and we kept a few as souvenirs.  I put them in this jar so every time we see them, we can be reminded of our seaside holiday.

Beach Holiday....

 Hello all!

Many apologies for the picture heavy post, but some of you may know me well enough by now to know that I'm all about the photographs!

We go home the day after tomorrow, and we have had such a lovely time.  We are on a little camp site near Pevensey Bay on the Sussex coast, in my parents caravan.  To sum up our holiday we have done the following (in no particular order!)

Eaten ice cream (lots of)
And fish and chips
Used the beach as our playground
Watched the sun go down
Bickered A LOT (the children)
Collected and painted pebbles
Been on a nature scavenger hunt
Swam in the sea (well, technically!  If two seconds counts!)
Been to A&E (my daughter, for a cut head after falling off a little sea wall!  Glued together, all fine!)
Lived in a caravan, just the children and I, for a week and survived!
Caught the sun
Eaten cockles
Had Pimms and lemonade from a can (wonderful!)
Been to bed late every night

I hope you are all having a wonderful week, I will be back to regular blogging from Friday-I have some more pictures from our holiday that I would like to share with you on my next post!
