It is all falling into place.....

.....even as the workers are feeling the strain. The posters show the three {how did that happen} events that I am involved with this year. The surfers are a joint effort between Liane and me which has been great fun if a little taxing on the techie side.

The 2D show only needs my help in setting up with the rest of the team. It will be fun as we can't hang on the walls and there is no time to set up screens, so it will easels.

The Turning Point is chasing dragons this year so I am madly cutting out plastic dragons so the children can hang them on mobiles.

It is all good fun if a little tiring.

Is this the last day of summer?

Someone is looking after one of the Horned Poppies and has put stones round it for protection. It was not me, honest.

The beach was looking lovely and as you can see, I had it all to myself, well almost, there was a couple walking a dog.

There is a feeling of mild panic at the moment as the Cromer and Sheringham Arts Festival is only two and bit weeks away.

There was so much time and now there is none. I have sculpture to finish and little dragons to cut out of plastic for making mobiles at one of the events, and who knows what else will turn up.

Time for glass of wine.

Full moon in golden glory...

... I just caught it before it went silver. This does mean the end of summer when the moon comes up over the sea, but it is very beautiful.

Not the best photo in the world but I don't see that many tall ships around here that are in camera range.

Last of the summer surf.........

These were taken a few days ago while the sun was still shining. The sea has gone flat for the moment so I expect the next time the surf is up I will be into coat, hat and gloves. There has not been a lot of action this summer so I am hoping the Autumn will be better.

The holidays are nearly over....

....The weather has not been that bad this year with many people enjoying the beach. A good year for sandcastles, windbreaks, wet suits and sun cream. I don't walk on the beach that often in August as I find picking my way through the crowds hard work. It is not the people but the crashing kites, the large beach balls, not to mention the frisbees.

The BBQ's go on regardless of the weather, in the true spirit of the British holiday maker, resulting in some strange pictures taken after dark. UFOs are not unknown at this time of year.

Hard work on the North Sea.....

.....not the best surf but they had been trying hard. They appear to paddle around waiting for the right wave, get on it and have a ride. And it is taxing. After an hour or so of fighting the sea these young people have need of a bacon butty.

The other morning was all pink and glowing as the sun got up. We do have lovely sunrises and now they are a little later I do get to see them while I`m drinking my coffee.

I am feeling very old.......

......I received this road atlas the other day from the AA and was a little shocked. How can I, a mere slip of a thing, have been a member for fifty years, it can't be right. I think I will have to go and lie down with a very large scotch.

Meanwhile on the beach the Horned Poppies are flowering away in all their glory. The little one is in a dry area, as one might expect, and is doing its best after
being nibbled by the rabbits.

This big one is growing in a damp patch and is doing very well
indeed. I did worry a bit as I thought it might rot off as they are plants of dry sandy areas but not this one. It just keeps flowering and forming seed pods.
