Celebration of a young 76 year old

Awoken to the view of the streaming sun through the curtains; I knew yesterday was going to be a great day!  The weather was fantastic.  Interchanging from dark clouds to clear blue skies.

My mums birthday.  76 years young.  Gosh she is one lucky lady.

- Never been admitted to hospital (except for childbirth)
- Never had surgery
- Walks everywhere
- Has boundless energy
- Has more friends than most people could dream of
- Holidays twice a year.

This is the lady who seems to have it all! Lucky Mum.

We decided to give her a nice family day out at the beach.  We had balloons and cupcakes,  sun and sea.  Directly after the sun began to set we headed out for dinner.
Chinking glasses with a loud 'cheers' we enjoyed our meals at our local 'pub grub' restaurant.

What a busy day! 

Loads of photos to share here with you.

Cupcakes from Lola's

My first ever cupcake in my life! It was amazing but very sickly! I'm not missing anything and won't eat another!

Blue sky with fluffy white clouds drifting past

Typical English seaside.  Beach huts galore!

Chose cupcakes, avocado or fruit? Hmm...

Gluten Free cakes available too!

Dinner at the Brewers Fayre. Lamb shank. 

Mr Smd ate a juicy rare T bone! 

Dad's awesome Beef and Guiness pie

We found a clay pipe at the beach!

Right in the middle of searching the rock pools for small fish, I spotted this clay pipe.  It's clearly very old and a bit broken.  Do you know anything about clay pipes?  What should we do with it?  Let me know via email if you know?

So what are you all doing this bank holiday weekend?

Sending much love

Louise xoxo

Winter walk on the beach

An uphill climb sometimes?

Life had been overly busy.

As usual, frantic times were to be had in the Usher household. 

Too much to do, not enough time to do it.  The usual kind of thing you would find in any house.  Feeling a little overwhelm and sadness along with a good pinch of resentment coming in; I realised.  

It was definitely time.

Time to get out in nature and blow away the cobwebs.  I didn't seem to mind that it was the middle of winter.  Nor did it matter to me that it might be amazingly cold on the beach. 

Pulling up the handbrake of the car, tired eyes grew wide as we looked down to the beach below.  Tidal seas had taken the water far away from the beach, leaving playful rock pools to explore and just the right amount of depth for small furry paws to dip.


The beach was going to host us on this day and that was that!

The brightest of blue skies

Harley was keen to come and get his feet wet and  a coat full of sand.  That was just fine.  We all needed our legs stretched and i had decided we would make it a very long walk!

Small paw prints on the golden sand.

Margate Clock tower.

Sun blazing, the sky was as blue as the equatic skies.  Lucky with the warmth, we could not quite fathom the weather.  This was February.  The time of year when spring begins but to have felt the warmth on our skin was amazing.  

Aching feet but happy souls, we walked several miles.  Even Harleys little legs. 

Just what the universe needed us to do.  Get grounded.  Be in the nature.

Without taking time to stock, things can go bang.  

Until the next bit of pressure of time, or unpleasantness that can so often be coupled with human beings, I was in a state of calm.  The natural surroundings of our local beach in Kent had healed once again.

I love this place.  Goodness does it know how to talk nicely to people.

Wordless.

Just its energy.  It's feeling.

Thank you, nature.

Taking a moment.  Taking stock.
