Mandala halfway point...

I had a few days off this week, and I was so lucky with the weather. Lovely warm sunny days.

I had an afternoon sat on the beach. The sun was blazing, with a breeze to keep down the heat, the relaxing sound of the waves, and crochet in my hand

so idyllic for a few hours of pleasure. I may have got a little pink though.

The one day me and hubby had together, we had a lovely afternoon strolling along the seafront.

We treated ourselves to yummy milkshakes to cool down. I had a mint aero and he had a crunchie one. Very tasty indeed!

On the way back the tide was going in so we did some treasure hunting. Hubby with his eagle eyes found some great ones, including a great turquoise marble. I have to admit to being completely disgusting and licking it, as I was convinced it wasn't a stone. I can assure you it is, and no it didn't
                                                      taste very good, ha ha...

Having a few days to myself enabled me to dedicate more time to my mandala. It has grown to such a size now, that its the size of our patio table, and I've now hit the halfway point!

I felt completely relaxed this week, and felt very lucky to be living by the sea...
