Creative Craft Challenges

This is a scheduled post.


It's time for a new challenge over at Creative Craft Challenges and this week the challenge is a colour one. Please use the colours......

Pink and Black

on your creations. Yes, I know, you can hear me sighing from there can't you?!

I have to admit though, I had a lot of fun doing this one! It's the first time I've tried funky hair, and while I would never ever have **** hair I think our rock chick here needed some coloured hair ;)

We're sponsored this fortnight by Stamping Boutique.

Marvellous Monday

Took a trip into Filey today and went for lunch to our favourite wee cafe called The Pines. We have been almost every year since 2008. The food is just fab. Especially the home made steak pie.
If you're ever in Filey in Hope Street then be sure to pay them a visit.
After lunch we went for a walk along the front. Sure blew the cobwebs away. But the sun continues to shine here :-)

Yeeha

We had fun on the beach this morning and will be heading back to the cottage to watch the tennis shortly. But first we have to play in the arcades!

Not much to say about this

The village appears to be short of a couple of idiots. These were spotted in York Castle Museum.

Rain stopped play

Unfortunately it has been very wet today. We tried to get to the supermarket and Macdonalds but the road was flooded!

Anyway, did I mention the cottage has a hot tub?! So this is where we have spent the evening after watching the tennis. If only I had a glass of Pimms! Chin chin.

Let battle commence

Just been to the Naval Warfare show in Peasholm Park. The combined force of the Navy and tin Air Force was enough to defeat the enemy and victory was claimed.

The boys enjoyed it so much they want to go back!

Just keep swimming

Been swimming this afternoon which was nice. Pool was very quiet because the English schools haven't stopped yet.
However, who should we bump into in the car park when we arrived but one of Craig's school friends. They picked today to come swimming too and it turns out they are staying in the next village to us. Small world eh?
Off to forage for some food now. Starving after all that exercise.

Feeding animals

Of the 4 legged variety. Not the children. Although they have been fed too.

We are at Playdale Farm Park today. We've been here a few times as the boys love it.

Yum

We have been picking strawberries! And they smell and taste like strawberries should.
Looking forward to eating them with cream later.

A postcard

But without a photo!

Cottage is lovely. And the weather isn't too bad either.
