I hope you all had the Xmas you wished for and are not feeling too worn out by it all. We had a lovely chilled peaceful Xmas, just as we wanted. The highlight was a wonderful walk on the beach on xmas day, the weather was beautiful and nature excelled herself by giving us a double rainbow. It is annual tradition that seems to be growing as the carparks were full and the beach packed with people and excited dogs. We even saw some swimmers, though Boxing day is the usual day for the mass swims. Boxing day saw more family arriving and today we are picking up the grandchildren to stay with us for a few days. Their poor mother is stuck home as the new baby could arrive anytime, at least she was at home for Xmas.
The bearded one bought me a Cornish Love Ring with the inscription in Cornish. It says 'Un bysow dhe dhysquedhes agan kensa' which translates to One ring to show our love. Of course our kids say it is in fact Elvish as in Lord of the Rings, and that I become invisible when I wear it.

Great pics, Chickpea. The beaches reminded me of the uncrowded beaches here in Ireland, even in summer. Looks like you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived nearer the coast, just what we could do with a walk along a lovely beach. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful ring. Imagine the chaos you could cause if indeed it was elvish!!blessings. Xx

What a lovely beach you live near.
cheers, parsnip
That sea looks cooooold ... brrrrrrrr ... brave swimmers!
ReplyDeleteI hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that 2015 will be kind to you and yours x
That ring is wonderful, you lucky thing. Your shot of the swimmer coming out of the water makes me shiver. There are some strange people out there that do things like that instead of gorging themselves on the Christmas pud :-) Happy 2015 xx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to walk on the beach at Christmas and what a beautiful ring.
ReplyDeleteThat inscription does sound familiar...
ReplyDeleteOne Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
Ooh la la!
I love your new ring, Chickpea, just think how useful being invisible would actually be :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. Sounds like you had a lovely time, I love the ring what a wonderful, thoughtful gift. I showed it my son who is a massive Lord of the rings fan, he was very impressed. xxx
