Mainly Pirates


Not a lot of crafting going on,not sure why  perhaps the continuing wet weather is to blame.
We still have the horse problem, last week they  were put back into our fields,so the Saga continues.I have decided I will not let it get to me like the last time.
This weekend was the annual Pirate festival in Brixham Devon, Saturday was very cold and wet,and early evening I walked to the small beach at high tide.

I love the smell of wet pebbles and seaweed,and the sound of the waves.

The wind had dropped by this point so I was not at risk of becoming too wet.

Sunday was much brighter although quite cold to start.
The town soon filled with Pirates of all shapes and sizes
this link is for photos taken by the local newspaper,check out the little pirate behind bars AKA  little Miss X

    What fun you must have had! It looks like something out of a movie! I have not seen anything like this since I was at Disneyland! You have a really cool life, Mary. And the grandchild is beautiful. Such eyes!
