Escaping from the relentless rain here in the south of England, I go over my pictures of the glorious sunshine of Abu Dhabi. I can take my self back there with this view from my bedroom
Join me in soaking up the sunshine,
wandering along the beach …
finding interesting pieces of coral – is that what this is?
the beach did not at first look promising for beachcombing – one of my very favourite pastimes – but when I looked really closely
there were such delicate colours and beautiful fragments to be found ….
and eventually finding a few larger shells, I started to write names
And then I realised if I did a picture of the name of one of my grandchildren, then all eight needed to be done! More shells needed. …..
I got into a lovely routine of wandering slowly along the beach first thing each morning and ……..
mandalas started to take over from knitting designs.. . . …
Such a grasshopper mind!
What is it about sorting and arranging that is SO pleasing and relaxing ……
