Weekend pleasures, seaside walking, birds swooping, a stack of magazines to read, corn field wandering before the harvest and a cat claiming squatters rights over our new favourite beach towel! It feels a little like summer is fading,even though it is way too soon – don’t you think?
The new beach front at Camber Sands is a hunk of concrete loveliness and huge rocks to break the waves. Tourists, locals and birds all convene at the sea edge, the glow of sun on their skin and salty water at their feet. Gulls swoop and holler, waiting for someone to drop a sandwich crust or leave their chips unattended.
We peeked around the houses and gardens that open out on to the beach, taking notes on grasses to plant and the best wood to build a deck.
Back at home, Marlo says we can just forget the idea of having our beach towel back. It’s so cosy and soft, she informs us she has claimed it – indefinitely.
We have cancelled our internet viewing platforms in a bid to read more, starting with this stack of independent printed happiness.
The kitchen shelf we built from old pallets has found it’s way in to the office as the section of wall that it was hanging on is due to be smashed out. Wahoo, demolition at last! 
My scented Pelargonium sidoides – from The Walled Nursery, deep magenta flowers with velvety, grey foliage – a new floral muse. 
Propagating plants and paleo breakfasts on Sunday’s. Eating our greens with some refined sugar-free tastiness from Planet Organic and growing tradescantia in old jam jars, that’s how we roll. Happy new week! x
