The North Sea Dip!

Well we did it! On Sunday we did our North Sea Dip. It is fair to say the weather didn't behave itself! Soon as we got to the beach the rain and wind appeared like a storm, never-the-less positive as we all were, we was ready to go for our dip! All dressed in our finest Onesies and Pj's and anything else to help us from the cold. 

This is us getting ready for a picture for the local newspaper. I think this was colder than the sea itself.

I did quite enjoy the dip, laughing and screaming as we ran in. It was actually harder to get out than get in as all our Pj's were full of water. I am glad I had shoes on and didn't go for bare foot as they didn't take as long to warm up.

Here is a couple of action shots of me running out of the sea! 

I would just again like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us and donated. My page is still open for a few more days. I will post back when we know the total of what we have raised for the Alzheimer's Society.

Months Apart...

I have spend alot of time in the big smoke this month and wanted to share these images of St James Park at the beginning of the year and then last month. I love the difference in the weather. Both equally beautiful I think. 

Beat the Weather With Knitting Club @ The Waterfront!

This is what it looked like outside! but inside it was getting very creative and YUMMY!

Last night I went to the new knitting club at The Waterfront Coffee Lounge, Bridlington! I haven't done knitting for such a long time, possibly years and it was great to get my needles and wool out!

The club is going to be every fortnight starting at 6pm. Its a great way to catch up whilst learning a new hobby and getting crafty (and eating cake) .

Strawberry Fun!

Today I met up with some close friends of mine and we went on a little outing. Firstly, we took a trip to Danes Dyke near Flamborough but it was rather windy near the beach. Then we went to go strawberry picking near by!

It was dead lovely and the wind had dropped by now! There was loads of yummy strawberries to pick aswell! I was being quite selective and picking big red ones! Yum! It looks like we made the most of the weather today as we have just had a big downpour of rain with thunder and lightning!
