This and That

We made the most of the milder weather recently 
and had a great walk down to The Fleet
(a lagoon tucked behind Chesil Beach)

The faded paint on the boats looked so lovely in the sunshine.





 Found a great vintage card game in a charity shop the other day, 
It's snap, but a German version, 
so you have to shout Schnipp Schnapp instead.

    I am loving the hulls on those boats. Thinking at first they were expressionist pieces by you, maybe we are all 'missing the boat' and should get a fat brush?

      Thanks Deborah - I thought of you when I found it! It can join the one you sent me - our collection of card games is quite impressive these days.
