I Did it!

Standard

I took Benji dog for his early morning walk today and visited one of my favourite benches just so that I could soak up the view. Here is the bench. ( and the dog )

Across Cardigan bay towards Harlech

And here is the view

Criccieth Castle

It’s wonderful to have time to stand and stare ( or sit). This place is awesome and even better on such a lovely day . The temperature actually hit 30 degrees so it is super warm.

Later in the day I went swimming in this lovely sea off Criccieth beach. This has taken a lot of courage following a bad swimming experience in St Lucia with a rip tide and bi lateral hip replacements. But I DID IT!

So the sea is now my oyster so to speak. Guess what? I’m going again tomorrow but to a different beach Yippee!

I’ve also been preparing for future cruises. This involves making all projects into kit form. Quite a challenge and taking a lot of fore thought. Today I wound 30 lots of sewing threads onto cardboard cut outs. I think I might get repetitive strain injury but it was a good sitting down activity.

Here is a “secret” ingredient for one of the projects. All will be revealed eventually!

A sewing project? Really?
