It's always the last race that every skipper laments the old phrase "It's not over until the fat lady sings" You just never know, gear failure, a lack of wind, too much wind, miss a mark, anything can happen and often, than not, it does........I have enjoyed a great week of sailing, and socialising, the conditions were absolutely perfect and sadly the fat has sung and the last thing to do is pack my bag and head home, I can't wait to see Rowan, I am wondering how much he has grown over the past couple of weeks and I can't wait to hear all his new words.
I did manage to get a few non sailing shots on the beach party day and when I looked at them, they reminded me of the type of pictures I used to take years ago with my Polaroid Instamatic, sadly over the years all my sailing albums have become just fading memories, the images barely visible. I hope you don't mind me sharing them with you, they are just random pics and with the help of Pic Monkey I have made them look just like they used to look all those times ago.
I am so happy to be writing this post, I have missed reading your posts and getting your heartfelt comments. I'm taking a few days to get my land legs back and then it's off to the beach shack to finish the front garden, it looked like this. Wait until you see the finished result, I 'm so excited.
Have a great week!

Hi Roberta - looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful progress on the beach shack!
ReplyDeleteHi Alison, It's been such a fun project, I have really enjoyed it. This weekend will be the last task of planting the beautiful and colourful array of plants I have ordered in the front garden. Lots of pics next week. I absolutely adored those poodle biscuits! How did you go?
DeleteAhh, lovely. It was polaroid shots just like these that my glam aunt shot in aussie on her hols in the 70's that made me always want to go downunder 'one day' x
ReplyDeleteThe polaroid shots certainly do bring back memories, I think I was one of the lucky girls in my group to own one, nearly every cent I owned I spent on film. It is such a shame they have almost faded, but not the memories.
DeleteGood to have you back - hope it was a good race. I like these photos - they remind me of photos in our family albums of sailing - minus the palm trees! x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Gillian!!!!! I have missed writing blogs and missed reading yours. I would love to hear about your sailing days.
