......... but I didn't see it come sailing in, as it was already in the dock when we arrived at the flat on Saturday morning
this was a BIG ship
all these little fishing boats could fit on board with room to spare
after lunch, we wrapped up warmly and headed for the beach. This might look like a pile of rubbish
but a closer look produced the first piece of driftwood of the day - when I sat it on the sand I couldn't quite decide if it was a bird or a fish!
I had a different subject to decide if it shoud be on the right or the left of the photo - the clock tower
I like the shapes and colours of the rocks - inspiration, perhaps, for a quilting design?
as the forecast wasn't do good for yesterday, we headed back home in the morning, stopping on the way at The Teviot Smokery for a cuppa and excellent scones
fruit
cheese
on Saturday morning we had collected this picture from the framers in Berwick. Malcolm had found the First Day cover, featuring the famous Berwick swans, in a charity shop, and gave it to me for my birthday
but we only saw two swans over the weekend, and they vanished behind the ship before I could get a good photo!
I popped out to the garage this afternoon to take some photos of the driftwood we have collected recently. It doesn't show up too well against the grey concrete floor - when the weather is better I'll take some of the bigger pieces out into the garden to get better photos
to finish, these arrived today for Malcolm. He is planning to make a bookcase and/or chest of drawers from them
