Out and about...

This week we've had a lovely week off of work and have been blessed with decent weather.
After a day of rest on Sunday, we caught a bus to Cissbury Ring


It was bliss, being in the heart of the countryside, so peaceful


Just surrounded by the sounds of nature

with views of the rolling fields in one direction, and across the town to the sea in the other


We weren't just there to take in the beautiful surroundings, but we knew there were plenty of Geocaches to find


It was a fabulous place for finds, and we bumped up our total by finding 11

The next day was another rest day, but we did take a trip to the cinema to see Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children

Midweek and we were on the bus to Brighton. I really wanted to go once I'd heard there were a trail of snow dogs


It seems we're always hunting for something whilst we're out!


It was great searching the lanes and seafront for these amazing doggies, all looking so different as they've been transformed by different artists


The following day we spent more time at home, but with lovely weather we did take some beach strolls, but can definitely feel that its Autumn now as the temperature has sure dropped


I took a trip to the hairdressers for a much needed colour. I've gone back to red to cover those 'natural highlights'


At the weekend we had a visit for hubby's sister and had a lovely day around town, stopping for afternoon tea and fun on the pier


Although we've been out and about a lot, on our rest days with our feet up in front of the tv, I've been beavering away on the mandala


I've managed to complete 3 rounds which I'm very pleased about


To give you an update I'm currently on round 94 out of 111


Despite a change of routine I've still kept on track with my eating

So a great week, relaxing and fun, but tomorrow it's back to reality and work :-/

Scrap yarn basket...

On this weeks beach walk, despite thinking it was perfect treasure conditions, strong wind and waves and the tide far out, there wasn't much to be found.


Of course we still enjoyed our walk in spite of this


We walked as far as the pier



And decided to stop at the lovely café at the end of the pier for tea cake


And went on to the amusements to play the 2p machines



Craft wise I have been continuing round the mandala. Its extending out again, but thankfully not too complicated




I have also managed to finish my scrap yarn basket



Ive just got a few more ends to tidy up!


I love how its turned out and the fact that however many you made none of them would look the same! I intend to make another, but with some variation...
