Receding tide

Harry's trip to physio at the hospital so I drove into Blackpool to pick up another free Lego at W.H.Smith. I also bought crayons, drawing pads & loads of stickers, glue, coloured card & other 'sticking & gluing' stuff ready for the boys coming next week.

Blackpool beach as the tide goes out.

Three good things:
1. Free car park spaces.
2. Just started one of Richard & Judy's Book Club choices ...Us by David Nicholls, it looks like it might be good!
3. One egg in the nest box.

Lovely seascape. Let us know how you like the book. (I read his first but found it a bit depressing.)

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze Oh I will Hazel....don't care for depressing books. Just read The State Wer'e In by Adele Parks, that had a strange ending!

[Pat Knowles]

A lovely vista - such a good composition taking full advantage of that wonderful natural light.

[Judith Greenwood]

Glitter glue? No? Probably wise!

[Maggiemae]

Did you get a glue gun? I think crafts seem to need this nowadays! I love the white sparkle on this sea and sand here and the pier makes a good subject! fav

[Margaret Pengelly]

Looks such a bleak day to be strolling on the beach but a glorious scene and the light is beautiful.

[Babs]

Lovely shot of Blackpool and the pier. The light shining on the water looks super. Spent many happy hours on the beach at Blackpool when I was a child. Blackpool, Southport and New Brighton were our regular Sunday outing destinations.

[Lois]

Beautiful beach!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae A glue gun! This modern age, I have never heard of a glue gun, mine is just a stick......falling short already Granny!

[Pat Knowles]

@ubobohobo It was a lovely day Margaret, doesn't perhaps look like it but the skies were blue & it was sunny but windy!

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing You can't get away from it that Blackpool has a great beach Babs!
