T Stands for.....taking a stroll..

Can it really be a week gone already!!?? 
We went up to our caravan last week - it started very wet and windy and we thought we had made a big mistake! We started with quick trip into Morecambe and then spent a cosy evening listening to the rain against the window!
It was still quite windy on Friday morning so we decided to wait until after lunch to go for a bit of fresh air.
Morecambe Bay has a unique weather system and when we got to Arnside(about 9 miles away) it was warmer and I realised I could have worn a lighter coat!

We had walked along to the post office to post a letter and crossed over to see the flower beds...

 ..and the view over the viaduct.

 We walked along the beach, looking at the birds

 The sky looked quite dramatic

 We had to pick our way through the soggy parts to get up the steps by the jetty

The views from the end of the jetty are lovely...some of the houses here are B and Bs

 There were some people outside the Albion having drinks...

....and you can see one of our favourite cafes - the Wagtail in the centre of this pic...we decided to head back to the caravan this time though...

 ....so we walked along to the ramp - can you see the snow on the mountains in the distance?

 Just as I was getting into the car I spotted the two jackdaws having a drink! Now, shall I join Bleubeard and Elizabeth here with these birds...

...perhaps not!!!

I think someone might recognise this place...Jo, we will have to meet up at Barton Grange for lunch when we get back into a routine!!!

I really wanted a blueberry scone so we shared a rather large salad bun along with a coffee, hubby had his favourite...carrot cake!

The evening was spent sorting out my little journal bag - I have decided that when we go to Paris I will probably only have time for a few collage pages!

I have made a rather larger journal page for Art Journal Journey and Wendy's 'Having Fun' theme. In this case the only fun was me making this page with lots of ink and paint....the young man clearly doesn't want to be in this bright place!

I used a whole load of stencils(TIOT's theme this time)and some paint and stamps too. I drew in some large black circles and added some circles cut from scraps(I am currently playing along with Brigit Koopsen's Everything Circles Instagram challenge)

I added a TH paper doll and a snarky comment! Finally some blue ink around the edges.

I may get around to making some scheduled posts - we are pretty much organised -but if not I'll see you when I get back! 

Thanks for looking, Chrisx
