Beached

I'm back from the beach, and I managed to achieve exactly what I wanted.

It was so amazing to be able to just go for a walk along the sand....

.... or just put my feet up and take in the view from the couch.

I even attempted a hit of tennis with the nephews!

There was only a teensy bit of crafting action. Two more hexy flowers have been joined together and added to the hexy stack. This is most definitely one of those extremely long-term projects.

Unfortunately I had to come home early after one of my meds made me sick. I'm back to the hospital tomorrow, so hopefully it'll all be sorted out pronto and I'll be back to my old self.

Hope everyone else had a lovely Easter break!

Life's a beach.... or so I wish

I'm home again after my little mini-break to the beach.

I had to take a photo of my feet to prove that I was there. I'm always the official photographer, so I never end up in any of the photos!

The best bit about heading off prior to Christmas was that the beaches were deserted.

My sister cooked up a huge feast on Christmas Eve for our side of the family.

Once all the boys were fast asleep in bed, Santa arrived.

There was a bit of sandcastle action at the park.....

..... and bodyboarding in freezing cold water.

It was so cold Boxing Day evening that the beaches were completely deserted again!

This is my favourite photo from the holiday, taken on Christmas Eve.

It's the first time I've been away with my sister and brother-in-law since the twins arrived. Now I have first hand experience of just how much work my sister does on a daily basis. She's going to need a holiday to get over her holiday!

PS - Happy Birthday Big Sis!
