Searching For The Whales....

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.

Here I am again catching up with some of the things I was doing during my Summertime blogging break.

As ever we spent some time in my favourite place Whitby....and this time we thought we would take a trip out for a spot of Whale Watching....and we weren't disappointed.

It was a beautiful afternoon, slightly chillier out to sea but well worth the trip.

My Faithful Shipmates On This Adventure

My Best Friend...


And My Best Girl


We were very lucky and were able to spot at least four different Minke Whales and we were able to follow them as they chased shoals of  fish. It was a great afternoon and such a thrill to see such wonderful animals in their own habitat....


It is such a treat to see and so exciting when the shout of 'Whale' goes up. I have a few photos of the whales but missed taking photos of them half the time as I was a) to slow with the camera or b) just totally in awe of them. Brogan's photos are far better than mine.


It was also lovely to see my beloved Whitby from another angle as we sailed back into harbour in the early evening sunshine.

What a fabulous treat and I would certainly recommend the trip to anyone.


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy your evening.

Friday Night With Friends....Catch Up!

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well.

So as it seems to be the 'norm' lately for me I'm late to the party once again....

I'm not quite sure where my time is going.... 

On Friday I decided to join in with like minded crafter's from around the world who join together (virtually) that is.....on the first Friday of the month to do a spot of knitting, sewing, crocheting etc....whatever craft you like....

Thank you to Cheryll for hosting this fabulous get together. 

It's been a while since I joined in but I'm determined to keep up this time....even making a note in my diary!!!


Well I decided to continue adding stitches to my Nora Corbett... 


The Holly Fairy



Not a great deal of progress but at least I have almost finished the skirt now...I love all the shades of green....feeling just a tad inspired to get her finished now....

 I'm pleased I managed to find the time to join in this month...I will definitely be taking part again next month.....the dates already in my diary.

So now I can spend a bit of time having a look at what everyone else was doing.


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

The Holly Fairy....Again!!!

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are well.

Ok...so you can tell that the weather is beginning to get a little cooler....because I have started to pick up my cross stitch of an evening....Thank goodness for my magnifying light!!!.....or else I wouldn't see a thing....


The Holly Fairy




This was as far as I managed up to March 2016. I know...I know.....I'm officially rubbish. I can't believe I haven't even put one stitch in since then but I am determined to finish this piece of work no matter what....

I will keep you posted...


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

The Colour Run...

Good evening everyone.

I hope you are all well and that you've had a lovely weekend.

So here I continue with my catch up on what I was doing during my little summer blogging break....

We did

The Colour Run

Well when I say we, I mean Miss B and yours truly!!!



We had a great time and I did run.....for the first few minutes until we were out of the gates anyway....I can't even run for a bus anymore.....the joints and muscles won't let me.....my ankles crack, my knees crunch and my calves burn but I do walk rather quickly.....


It was a lot of fun as long as the coloured starch doesn't get up your nose and you keep your mouth firmly closed when you run through each colour station....easier said than done when your laughing your head off at everyone else!!!


We will definitely do it again next year and maybe we'll run a bit more and probably get some sponsors organised and do it for charity.


So pleased we didn't have to come home in our own cars though....my lovely partner brought us home in his.....that stuff gets everywhere....sorry Darling but do you know our clothes and trainers washed perfectly clean again....bonus!!!....not sure about his van seats though!!!....Whoops.


Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.

Enjoy the rest of your evening.
