Vintage nighties and seaside life

Well the weather has been gorgeous this week here in Whitstable.

With the smalls off of school we have just been hanging out at home, the park, the beach, with friends.
It has been just lovely.

Whitstable is a gorgeous seaside town and I feel truly lucky to live here. 

Let me show you a few of the sights...

 

A Fishing boat in the harbour...

The lovely old boat outside the Whitstable Oyster Company restaurant...

Oyster shells...

Pipi Max....Ok not a Whitstable sight normally but we did take him for a walk (ok carry, he is a bit slow!) to the beach with us one day...

Lovely vintage nighties flapping in the warm breeze from Vintage on Sea - a sweet little vintage clothes shop right on the seafront....

The fisherman's huts - available for weekend hire (via The Hotel Continental), right on the seafront and car parking space to boot (a rare find in Whitstable!)....

We also have lots of clever crafty people here in town too. The other Saturday along with Vicki we went along to a vintage and handmade fair at a local hall where we  met Hannah from Bubblebay Designs. It is so strange meeting people whose blogs you read as you know so much about them and what they like from their blog - but you don't actually know them in person. I can report that Hannah was just as lovely and friendly as she seems on her blog and her creations were gorgeous. (although Doh! I forgot my camera so no pics to share of Hannah's lovely stall).

Well, we are keeping our fingers crossed there will be lots of sunshine this weekend and we can get the BBQ out for the first barbeque of the year! Hope you have a great Easter weekend wherever you may be.

BBQ's, morris dancers & lifeboat tractors!

This weekend finally brought our barbeque out of hiding and the first bbq of the year tasted just yummy! (plus the beers came out as well as you can see!)

I worked on Sunday and Monday so although I saw the May Day procession through the high street from the shop window of where I work, I didn't get to see the kids faces as they watched the morris dancers - but apparently they loved it!
They also went to the harbour with my mother-in-law and were very, very, very excited (can you tell from the photos!) to sit up in the lifeboat tractor and have a photo taken!
