Seaside picnic by happypat

Seaside picnic

Our weekly visit to the cinema this afternoon. We went a bit earlier & had our lunch on the promenade at Clevelys. It was quite busy & a glorious day.
Dot & I regressed into our childhood & went to see Cinderella.
I must say it was delightful & I would thoroughly recommend it to any romantic loving person.

Three good things:
1. Harry went to the vet for some cat wormer & called into buy a rechargeable carpet cleaner.
2. I made some biscuits for the B&Bers.
3. Our NZ daughter in laws birthday today.
Fun and effective composition and making the most of the spring sunshine (you must have ours as it's been cool and cloudy here!). The orange really contrasts beautifully with the blue sea and sky.

A lovely image with the blue sea and sunshine really entices one to picnic and have an outing ! ( even if indoors at the cinema !)

Very healthy lunch - no ham sandwiches! How delightful going to see Cinderella - the fantasy of childhood! Nice blur on the beach - still looks a bit cold somehow!

April 8th, 2015  
@julzmaioro Yes I know you add. I know but us English people aren't too keen on coconut...you hardly ever see it in cakes here .....yuk in fact! Wouldn't mind the nuts though!
April 8th, 2015

Great stretch of beach and sea, a good feel of the seaside from the prom.
April 8th, 2015  
@happypat The people on the beach Pat.. don't have to buy them..
April 8th, 2015  
@julzmaioro oh LOL of course..silly me! Yes that would have been very clever if I had the wits to think of t!
April 8th, 2015  
lovely light and colours
April 8th, 2015  
@happypat It was one of my father's favourite places - a very long time ago.
April 8th, 2015  
nice DOF Pat and a nice teasing glimpse of the beach and sea
April 8th, 2015  
Fabulous composition here Pat. sounds as though you have had a lovely day.
April 9th, 2015  
Very nice, Pat. I like the composition.
April 9th, 2015  
Nice composition and perspective
April 9th, 2015  
Great POV, colours and a seascape as well!! So glad you enjoyed Cinderella
April 9th, 2015  
Great image - we went to see 'Shaun the Sheep' the other day - without kids! I love the composition of this image. And I love the way you say 'seaside' - here in NZ, we go to 'the beach'.

@thistle hi Joyce just getting your parcel off to the post & I have changed my phone & for some reason have lost all my texts. Would you mind re texting me your address on 07779177754. Should have written it in my address book but was a bit rushed before we went to NK. Thanks Joyce.
April 9th, 2015  
What a very healthy lunch - I'm impressed. Love your photo too, it's a fav! Is Cinderella suitable for children? We have Imogen coming to stay for a week - she's 6, although she may have seen it already.
April 9th, 2015  
I would think very suitable Judith, younwill both love it!
April 9th, 2015  
Ps thanks for the fave too!
April 9th, 2015
