Days By The Sea October 2011

We are back home after our five days at the coast.  We visited Scarborough for some walking and retail therapy (of the Christmas variety!).  I am so relieved to have made a start on my Christmas shopping at last, I am normally much earlier than this.  I like to get it done so I don't have to go when it gets too busy. 

They had a warning of high tides, winds and flooding along the coast.  Luckily it wasn't at all bad although we did see the waves splashing up high in Bridlington the day before.  

Apart from it being dull, it wasn't as cold as we expected and it didn't rain.  I'm glad we decided to venture out.

 

 

It was busy even for half term. I think people are visiting the coast later in the season this year due to the warm spell we had at the beginning of October.

 Oh I do like to be beside the seaside....even in October :)

Wedded Bliss

So married life is going great.  I love being a wife, I don't know why we didn't do this years ago.

My new name on the other hand is taking some getting used to.  I keep forgetting and signing my old name.  But I can't help getting a lovely warm feeling when someone at school calls me Mrs C, it's a novelty that I hope doesn't wear off. I did spend 30 minutes the other day trying to understand why I couldn't log into my computer at work, then it finally dawned on me that I was using my 'old' name.

Last night we shared a deicious bottle of Champagne we had given as a wedding gift, when I say 'shared' I may mean that I let my husband have a sip and then I drank the rest of the bottle. 

This week we are enjoying the half term break at the coast.  The weather is still good for this time of year, cold but fresh and bright.  Perfect autumn weather. Brisk walks & hot chocolate. Bliss.
