Holiday talk had been a big feature of our discussions and lead to us enjoying various beach and sea/ocean-related activities…

This area has been super popular! I love this background (from TTS) of St. Ives in Cornwall…

Shells and Ocean Finds on the Discovery Table
As well as collecting my own resources over the years, I have been lucky enough to inherit all sorts of wonderful beach and ocean treasures from my Mum and Great Aunt (both ex Primary School Teachers). There is always so much fascination with these pieces…

Thanks for reading and sorry for the lack of posts at the moment! I have a few lined up but have hit a technical hitch since I upgraded my site and my posts are not emailing out to my subscribers. I wasn’t going to publish anymore until I had got to the bottom of it, but I’m so busy at school that I haven’t had time to look into it, so I thought I’d post one now anyway.
“I made a pattern!”

Don’t forget that you can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest.
Would love you to come & say hello! 🙂

We still have a few fairies out…
My comment should end with ‘looks like lots of fun in the sun!’
Thanks Gill. It’s a bit belated, but better late than never! 😉
