Bloggiversary!

It suddenly struck me today that I started this little blog around this time last year and that it would be nice to do a jolly sort of anniversary post to celebrate.  So I rummaged about through the depths of the bloggy beginnings and discovered that my first post was in fact a year ago exactly to the day!  On top of which, this happens to be the one hundredth post, so pretty exciting and co-incidence-y all round.

Also the lovely Gertie laid the first egg of the year.  It's very cute.

I had a beautifully sunny visit to see a friend in Bournemouth on Saturday which seems just the thing for a celebratory sort of post.

I left quite early and enjoyed a glorious sunset all the way down.

I think I'm slightly obsessed with enormous skies at the moment, they are so exhilarating after being cooped up with all this dull grey sogginess.

There was quite a bit of water about, but luckily the roads were pretty clear.

(Can you spot the curly-tailed cloud-creature?!)

The wind had made amazing sand dunes all over the place.

Everything seemed extra bright in the wintery sunshine.

I love the coral pink and mustard-y yellow next to the the slate-y grey in the pebbles.

Having been well blustered about we felt justified in eating an enormous pile of fish and chips.

Then I drove home and enjoyed a glorious sunset all the way home; a perfect end to a lovely day!
