Just cruising...

It was a double cruise ship day today; the Orion (100 passengers) and the Oceanic Discoverer (72) visited and there were lots of people milling around. On Friday afternoon the Silver Shadow arrives with 388 passengers but they are small boats compared to the Amadea which arrives on 20 February with 624 passengers. Great to feel the 'buzz' as the enthusiastic visitors explore our island home.

A community garage sale was held in the fire station on Saturday and it was fun to see what the locals came up with - books, dvds, veges, sewing, marmalade and bric-a-brac. There's another planned for February and perhaps the weather will be more settled so they can hold it outside.


Good fortune for 2014

Early morning on Half Moon Bay
I know it's a tad late but showing Christmas decorations but I'm sure my Mum would like to see them!

We came close to lighting the fire so we didn't decorate the flue


More lovely cards

Christmas decals on the windows - a good special from Magnamail and
they can be used year after year
