When you get to half term it really does feel like Summer has ended and Winter is arriving at full blast, so, it was a lovely surprise to have a couple of days of glorious sunshine during the last week of October, as luck would have it we were visiting the seaside, so playing on the beech and ice creams at the end of October...mad I know!!
A few days on the South Coast was just a delight....laughter, fun, food, browsing, crocheting (is that a word??) and just having a nice bit of family time.....
Thankfully the little guys were well prepared for wet weather.
The next day the sun was shinging.....
Starting join grannie squares
Some Hallowe'en baking...those spiders really creep me out!!
My gorgeous 10" round, deep chocolate cake with handmade, edible Peppa style decoration...
This is my cute little turtle in progress, you will see him in his final home next week.
So that is it for another few weeks, kids are back at school, I have a sore throat and a mountain of ironing to do and a lot of work to plan/organise over the next few weeks.....the big countdown has begun and before I have had time to blink the big guy in the red suit and white beard will be visiting....bring it on, I am ready to snuggle, get the woollies out and wrap up warm.
Enjoy your day lovelies

It looks like you had a wonderful week. I'd have been screaming on that big slide, I'm sure. Brilliant Hallowe'en cakes, and you're right, those spiders are scarily realistic.
ReplyDeleteHello Niki, what a pleasure to meet you via this bloggy land of discoveries.
ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderful half term with your little ones, the beach huts are just wonderful aren't they, would love to own one, lock the door, kettle on, crochet away.
My word your cakes are amazing-I read and re-read the Pepper pig photo with caption-you seriously made that? Absolutely incredible, but that is in essence your wonderful job-impressive Niki indeed.
Love your crochet makes, your ripple blanket is beautiful.
Look forward to reading your posts.
Helen
P.S Turtle is too cute!
