4x6 Photo Love...July

Much as I love living where I do in Spain, I wouldn't want to live by the coast, yet I loved living by the coast in the UK.


When I was in Whitley Bay in August, it occurred to me how different the British 'seaside' is to the Spanish 'Costas'...and not just the weather!
Where else do you get promenades (and roundabouts) decorated with such wonderful floral displays (I DO miss English flower gardens), get such rugged, atmospheric coastline and, of course, the great British Tearoom to shelter from whatever the weather throws at you!


I decided to use the photographs I had taken, while walking from Whitley Bay to Tynemouth for Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love for July...and used the above for my journalling









Hope you're having a good weekend, whatever you're up to. It's trying hard to rain here...we've had a couple of showers, but not enough to quench the poor,parched earth.


Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  10. It must be the cool, rainy weather that does it. I think the prettiest place I've ever been is Vancouver, British Columbia. There were flowers everywhere!
