We had a lovely time away....here are some holiday pics. Sorry about the photo quality of some - taken via mobile ph. Its skinny and fits in my pocket easy ;-)
Beach combing and rock pooling @ secluded White's Beach.
this rock pool was total toe spa!
White's Beach is rough and dangerous. Undertows and a steep beach.
Every day we went to a beach....
Bridegwater has been my favourite for 24 years! This one is safe and perfect for boogie boards so ours kids love it.
The best surprise was that Brian had organized a local riding school to float a horse each for Jordan and myself down to Bridgewater beach - so we could have a private ride with our instructor to Shelley Beach and back (approx hour and a half!) Here is me on Charlie - we had a fantastic ride! We splashed in the waves, trotted and cantered and the weather was perfect!
I will be back soon to show you the close up quilting of my By the Sea quilt featured in Dec Homespun - by Belinda Betts - its AMAZING!
I also have lots and lots of vintage goodies to show you too -china, linen and paper (books)
and a little bit of stitching - I have been playing with Sue Daleys apple cores - curved piecing - FUN . Now to conquer clamshells. Thanks to great PDF tutorial on Karen Martins blog for getting me started!

Cath, sounds like you all hada great time by the waters edge. Isn't Brian a real sweetie for organizing the ride for you & Jordan.
Can't wait to see the goodies you describe for your next post !

Memories are made of this Portland and all the lovely small beachs even the whales teeth.
