The Whitstable Oyster Festival is a week long celebration where we have all sorts of weird and wonderful events, performances, workshops and traditions.
It all kicks off with the landing of the Oysters - which are brought ashore in an old boat and blessed by the local vicar.
The harbour had a fabulous food market - but it was too jam packed to even attempt to take a picture! We did manage to stroke these lovely Newfoundland dogs - although they were a tad smelly!
There was a parade through the town with crazy and very tall aliens (who took a shine to my son!) the local Samba band who are impossible not to dance to!
There has been pavement art...
Beach picnics with cousins....
and seaside walks in the sunshine.
It has been lovely.
I have been making a little a couple of orders for some cushions and bags - but of course, I forgot to photograph them! I still haven't attempted to start the chair from the last post, but thank you for the advice I was given. I think it is going to involve using the cover I have anyway!
I hope the sun is shining wherever you may be!

I'm glad you have had a good week - and of course you know that there is no sunshine here! Hope you will join in my giveaway.
