Meanwhile my slight obsession with the humble beach hut continues...mmm, you can almost smell the calor gas!
And here it is, our very own 61A. It might not look much, but it's been the base of so many happy memories, particularly from my childhood, many of which involved my dear granny (sadly no longer with us). I remember we used to get changed beneath this orange and brown towel, that was sewn into a tube with elastic around the neck - did anyone else have one of those? Perhaps there's a market for retro novelties such as this! I may make some before Cath Kidston beats me to it!

Yes, sounds like I had exactly the same one. They were brilliant! Definitely just a sort of towelling tube, and definitely orange and brown. I think we had a blue and mauve one too. Ah, the 70s.....!
ReplyDeleteCan you remember having to wear her swimming costumes too when you had forgotten yours. She had those ones with the massive solid cups in - nice! And not fogetting the lovely flowery swimming caps - don't they sell them in Toast now? x Lush day yesterday x
ReplyDeleteOh that's lovely... always fancied having a beach hut (Scotland really doesn't have the weather for it though!)
ReplyDeleteI really adore your blog - all of your posts are so lovely... Thank you so much for your kind words. Please stay in touch :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I've just found your blog through Folksy! It's lovely & your designs are gorgeous. I grew up in Falmouth & now live in Dorset but am always visiting & miss it down there x
ReplyDeleteThank you Mollimoo! Love Falmouth but don't visit all that often - too far when you've got a 2 year old who doesn't much like travelling!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful part of the county - no wonder you miss it!
