SAND

To tell where we’ve been
You need just one guess.
The clues are quite clear
When we undress.

Sand in our pockets
When we take off our clothes.
Sand in our socks and shoes,
Hair, ears and nose.

It sticks in our navels
And between our toes.
Every nook and cranny
Who knows where it goes.

A day at the Seaside

Let's go test the water granddad



Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water!


A seat in the sun (what sun?)




We found just the plaice for lunch


Boats at low tide

Chasing the waves

It's Quite Nice

Asked what he thought of his first day at school, Stuart replied "It's quite nice!"

Food for the birds


One tiny sunflower seed has produced so many new seeds.

We will feed them to the birds in winter.


Can't quite reach


Almost at its tallest. Photo taken 11 August when it reached 8 feet 8 inches.
By 1st September it was 8 feet 10 inches.

The start of something big


We planted our seeds in March 2007. This is the first photo taken on 30th about a week after planting.

More than hopping mad!


Over the summer I have been recording the progress of some sunflowers that Stuart and I have been growing. I have photographed them at different stages with the view of making a website for him. I spent such a long time one evening reducing the photos in size to put them on the site and now I cannot find the folder I made for them ;-(


I saved them all on my laptop and unfortunately didn't copy them to the other computer. The only ones I have there are the originals and I am not even sure if I have them all there. Hope so then I will be able to do it all again.
