Boats

We were both tired after our long walk in the sunshine yesterday, but strangely we were both up early.  It was just too hot to lie in bed.  We both pottered.  TT then headed to church and I thought about doing many things, but didn’t seem to make much headway.  In the end I popped out for a wee walk to the supermarket too get some stuff for lunch.  I passed a wall covered in ivy, which was covered in butterflies.  They were loving the ivy flowers.  They were flitting about too quickly, so I didn’t get any decent pictures.
 
After lunch, we headed down the coast.  It got cloudier and we could see the haar out at sea.  We parked in Coldingham and walked a circuit down to the coast, along by Coldingham sands to St ABBS AND BACK UP THE Creel Road.  We stopped off at the café by the harbour in St Abbs to have tea and cakes.  We overhead talk of rain, so we thought we should make a move.  We walked back along the Creel Path and then back to the car in coldingham.  We had to stop off for shopping on the way home.  TT had volunteered to cook this evening.  I did some ironing and realised that no school trousers have been washed.  That will be because they didn’t make it into the washing basket!
 
While ironing, I got a message from BB to say they would be home an hour earlier than expected.  I finished up my ironing and went down to school to collect him.  It seemed to be all the mums who had turned up to do the pickups.  We had a very quick chat and then the bus arrived.  They seem to have had a great weekend, and have been very lucky with the weather, though BB said they had got soaked this afternoon, in a downpour.  As we drove back home he critiqued the food.  He wasn’t impressed.  It was then home for a proper home cooked tea, which went down very well,  and for him to catch up with the Rugby World Cup.
 
These boats were lined up in the harbour at St Abbs, in front of the lifeboat shed.
