Mersea Island Beach Huts

Traditional Beach Huts

 

Newer Beach Huts



Same Again!

We visited Mersea Island (Essex UK) this week. Was a rather dull day, but it was soon brightened up by the rows of both traditional beach huts and then the newer versions that stretched along the beach front - like a Dulux Colour Chart! 

What fun someone must have had choosing the colours when they were first erected!

Being November, the beach was deserted except for the odd dog walker, so we didn't find out when the newer beach huts were built. Anyone know?

Two very happy dogs on Mersea Island!

Enjoy the fun at Halloween!

End of October so it must be Halloween! 

This is something, that here in UK, has taken a bit of time to catch on - long popular in the USA!

We are now catching up and each year we see more Halloween stuff on offer in the shops and more Halloween Parties being held...

So have fun and get dressed up...!

My photo is of two little Munchkin Pumpkins (only about 4 inches wide and 3 inches high!) that are now being grown here in England in Cambridgeshire. We had one of them last night for supper (with salt beef, mashed potatoes and green beans and lots of lovely gravy) and it was delicious - sweet and creamy yellow pumpkin!

Maybe the folk in your group (old or young!) would like to hear the age-old story while they are colouring in the picture.

Here it is! (The ultimate wicked stepmother story...!)

Two New Bookmarks to Download and Print!

Two printable bookmarks which can be coloured in - I have also included a "Blank" so you can design your own bookmark or just decorate it with stickers and write your own messages!

Best if these bookmarks are printed on thin card - most printers will accept this. If not then print on paper and stick onto card.

Punch a hole in the centre top and decorate with a loop of cord or ribbon.

Makes a lovely personal gift - time to start looking for Christmas stocking fillers!

Enjoy...!
