Good morning all. Welcome to my newest followers, I hope you'll pop by often and if you leave a comment I'll know you've been.
A layout to share with you today covering a few of the current challenges.
Created in Craft Artist 2 (I'm slowly getting to grips with this when I remember to use it) using "Spring into Spring" from Daisy Trail and the frame is a label from Far Far Hill.
The photo was taken on the annual Sunday School trip to Bamburgh beach (obviously on a year when the sun shone!) circa 1970. We went by bus every year on the first Saturday of the summer holidays and were given a picnic lunch at the beach followed by games and races. I can only remember it raining once in all the years I went. The Dad's usually accompanied us (complete with back up food and drinks) which was quite a novelty for most of us in those days. The trip home consisted of a good sing song on the bus - think She'll be coming round the mountain, You cannae shove your grannie off the bus etc with those at the back usually singing a slightly different version to the Sunday School teachers!! Those were the days!

ReplyDeleteThis sure brings back fond memories. What ever happened to good ol' fashioned trips to the beach, a bus load of kids, singing and having a grand time. You've captured this perfectly on your LO.
