I have just arrived back home after a wonderful day on the beach in Cornwall, South West England. I met up with my sons aunty and her border collie the same as my puppy Ziggy and my son. The sun was shining, it was a glorious day and we had a picnic there too, ham sandwiches, cherry tomotoes, hard boiled eggs, chicken pieces and a flask of tea with choclate brownies to follow, yum. I have uploaded a pic so you can see the crew except for me as I took the pic. Have you done anything different today from your usual routine and if you have a picnic what do you usually pack? Have a great weekend. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hey there ellie333
That's sounds like a great day out. I did nothing different yesterday as I do most Saturdays, clean, wash, cook you know the routine!! Next week is half term so we will be off to Cornwall. St Austell to see my dad and Truro to see my mum and Falmouth to see my friends!

Hi Humbug, Our half term starts Thursday next week and then the whole of the following week too. Have a lovely time, if you are looking for the pic it is as usual in response one as I forget yet again to upload with the discussion. LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

My kids are actually off from this Friday but I have to go to my brother's on Saturday in Somerset to celebrate my nephew's 3rd birthdays (they're twins) and Sunday my son has rugby so we can't go until Sunday evening which is fine. How come your kids aren't off until November that's weird? We are both in Devon but I in the North we are different and I know Cornwall is always different too.
You silly sod, fancy forgetting to upload again. I can't speak though I too have done it a fair few times!!

the doggie don't look to happy, was that low tide? It looks cold, but hey, as long as you had a good time. It been years since I've been to the beach, and it's only about 45 mins from here. When we were younger my mother would takes to the beach almost every weekend or to the park. Now I really can't stand to go to either. your pic look very nice

That sounds like a lovely day with friends and family, ellie333. I will be going with my family this afternoon to visit some homes and art studios of local artists. We will likely stop for a picnic lunch along the way. But since I am here myLotting rather than packing a picnic, we will probably just pick up a subway sandwhich along the way and take it to eat at a local park.
I love days like this with my family. We have a good time together.

Sounds like a fun day! It is too chilly here for a picnic and so we haven't done anything special today. We will watch football later and I have vacuumed the house so that it is done and I now have a load of laundry going. Plus, I have started dinner and plan to eat later and enjoy the evening with my girls.
I am anxiously awaiting my husbands' phone call as he is out of town on business and we miss him.

Hi Ellie. I am really glad that you had a really wonderful day at the beach in Cornwall. You had a delightful picnic and it was hopefully a fairly warm day. It is lovely that Ziggy had a friend to play with the same breed as him. I am sure that you are your son got lots of fresh air. Today I have been getting ready for my new flooring that will be put down tomorrow. I had to take all the laminate up and this evening I have a concrete floor. Maxine.

Hi Maxine, I hope your floor has now been laid and this evening you can relax without concrete. The pic is in response one because as usual I forgot to upload, oops, both collies are very similar in looks but the bigger one is far better behaved LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

Your day at the beach sounds wonderful. And the food sounds perfect for a beach day. We have not had a picnic for ages. But looking at your picture of the beach makes me want to have one.
I'd pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chips and cookies. I'd throw some bottle water and canned orange drink in our little cooler and go! Sounds like a great idea.
We try to do a couple of fun things every weekend but I must say that it tends to be the same types of activities. We go to the bookstore and browse all the books for a couple of hours and have a coffee drink. We take a walk over to the Dunkin Donuts on a Sunday morning and have a latte. I try to go to the Farmers Market on Saturday where the produce is fantastic and very cheap.
Huggles.

Hi PearlGrace, glad you found the hidden pics, as usual I forgot to upload with discussion but I bet you are used to that by now eh! Oh Farmers markets are fantastic, our local one is on a Wednesday. The food is always so much better tasting and it helps the food miles and environment. Huggles. Ellie :D

I went to the beach with the dog too but up here in Cumbria it was cold and the wind was blowing straight off the Irish Sea. The lakeland hills were shrouded in low clouds and as usual the rain was in the air. Still enjoyed the walk and Willow raced around throwing sand off all the dunes! I've brushed her twice but she's still got sand in her fur lol.
It was far too cold for a picnic so I'm really jealous!
Yours sounds just right, and I bet those brownies were delicious.
Glad you had a great time and huggles to you and a big pat for Ziggy!

Hi Annmac, There was a nip in the air but at the same time the sun was shining so fairly warm when no breeze, the dogs loved running around though, yes I know what you mean about sand, I think I have half the beach in my car and lobby at home now LOL. Thanks for the huggles, Ziggy would probably want one to rather than a pat he is such a cuddly thing bless. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi ellie,
I am so glad you had a wonderful day out with your sister and all that food is making hungry, its nice to go away now and again and meet with friends and relatives, I know I had fun meeting with new friend the other day, your friend and mine(p1kef1sh). I'm sure your son enjoyed himself as well. Love and Huggles.

How could you, Ellie? I am now extremely jealous. I can just picture it in my head. Not only do you have a wonderful menu, but you are spending it with a border collie and your own puppy! I love to share quality time with people and animals. It just makes everything that much more special. I'm glad you had fun!

Oh ellie! What a great picture! Everyone looked so happy
and like they were having such a great time! I wish that
I lived so close to a beach like that! Ziggy is so cute!
He looked like he was having so much fun in the wet sand!
He is a beauty and so is your aunty's dog. Your son looks
really happy too! I am so glad that you all were able to
enjoy the day out together with a nice picnic lunch and
all. I haven't done that in such a long time. We don't
have any places to go close by and you need a car to get
around and of course all my friends are like me and don't
have cars so that kind of limits the traveling a bit!

That was a wonderful day at the beach. The food you brought were very delicious too. It made me hungry since it is Sunday lunch time here now.
I am from the Philippines-our country is composed of 1,107 islands and many more when its low tide...so we have plenty of beaches. My husbands work,requires us to travel so much,giving us the chance to be in wonderful beaches. But for now,we are in Davao City,we will be here for one year,actually 5 months more to go as we arrived here last March. Our house is only 300 meters away from a beach resort. Also,since we have still very few friends here and no relatives,we spend week ends and breaks going around the region. The beaches are wonderful...you can check my pics...have a wonderful time with your family...

oh, my dear friend, you had a great weakend, but, unfortunately, i had a bad day today. This morning, I bought a MP5 with EMS memory of 2G. I thought that i could listen to all kinds of music as well as watch lots of movies and also practice my english listening; but more than i expected, it couldn't work well------i was not able to put all materials i needed into it. I was so frustrated that i got very boiled. here, would you please tell me what's wrong with my operation or my machine? thanks a lot!

Hi Run_Grace, I am very sorry to hear that but unfortunately I don't own such a thing and am not very technology minded but perhaps if you post the question as a discussion yourself someone might be able to help you. Good luck and welcome to myLot, keep posting, keep responding and most of all have FUN with it. Ellie :D
