Heading towards the end of 2015
After all the patient waiting Christmas has come and gone for another year!
I hope everyone had a lovely time just like us. It was good to have the children home and we were all spoilt with some wonderful presents too, many with a sea theme! It has been a wet and windy Christmas here. The annual Boxing Day charity swim across the harbour in West Bay had to be cancelled because it was just too rough.

Over the Christmas period this blog celebrated it's fourth birthday. What was I thinking about starting a blog just before Christmas? I must have been well organised that year! I have made so many friends over the years from all around the world. I do appreciate your friendship and support, many of you over several years.
As we draw to the end of 2015 here are some reminders of images of the sea captured in the last year. The sea is such a large part of our lives now that we can see, smell and hear it every day!
We have also visited some wonderful gardens during the year and also filled our new garden with some of our favourite plants.....
Thank you to everyone who has visited me in 2015, I wish you all a happy and healthy 2016. We may not know what is around the next corner, but I will be concentrating on achieving my distant dreams!

Thank you for sharing your seaside life!! Wishing you and your family a very Happy and healthy New Year X
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and am in love with it. I have an old friend who lives in Dorset and his mum as well. My hubby is from London with family in London and Scarborough as well. Your blog is so cosy and feels like "home". I'm looking forward to exploring more! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for another special post, Sarah. We have been getting a bit of snow mixed with rain which is making me glad to be cozy inside, reading your post and typing to you and wishing you and yours a Happy New Year! xx
ReplyDeleteI am a late comer to your blog, but now really enjoy it! Your photos are always so lovely, though your picture of Charmouth beach does look a little chilly! Wishing you a very happy 2016.
ReplyDeleteStunning set of photos Sarah- really, they are very beautiful. My fave is of course the one of Tav :o) XX
ReplyDeleteSweetest Sarah and TAVI! Good morning on this 28th day of 2015. What a year, non? You have taken me yet again to a land I love and will one day visit. My husband and I love everything British and hope to see your countryside and shore one day.
ReplyDeleteWishing you health and peace in this new year, and ADVENTURES to Tavi as he explores the world with you!
Beautiful images Sarah, love the beach scenes and all your pretty flowers. I hope 2016 will be a great year for you in your lovely new home and I look forward to following your blog in 2016.
ReplyDeleteI hope the sun comes out for you soon! Here's hoping those dreams become less distant in the new year. All the best. Brenda
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you both, and Tavi from me here in Winchester, and Belle & Misty - not forgetting Flora Puddleduck too! Ax
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos so getting a second look in collages is a real treat!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year
A lovely post (love the yacht with the red sail) and congratulations on your blog birthday! I always enjoy coming here and having that cup of tea with you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of the blog anniversary. I am almost at my 1st year anniversary and hope I will still be enjoying it when I reach four years. I love your seascapes, I envy you being so close to the sea in beautiful Dorset. I also love seeing the photos of Tavi on your posts. Happy New Year. xx
ReplyDeleteGlad that you had a happy Christmas! Happy Blogaversary as well! Here's to a great 2016 all round. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah: Best wishes for the New Year! I'm glad I "found" your blog recently and look forward to your posts and images. What a beautiful part of the world! And, of course, I adore Tavi!! See you very soon in the new year....
ReplyDeleteTavi is so cute. I wish you very happy new year 2016, health and luck!

Morning Sarah
ReplyDeleteI've just been reading your past blogs and hubby and I also love Show Of Hands, we actually managed to book them a few years back for a local hop in our tiny village hall... They were great & Phil Beer had 2 helpings of the casserole I made them!!
Have a great New Year and don't stop posting those fabulous beach and seascapes... they transport me to your lovely part of Dorset.

Welcome to a fellow Show of Hands fan! It must have been fun having them visit your village hall. We saw all 3 of them at separate halls around Dorset they are always very entertaining. We are going down the Rhine on a cruise with them in May too! Sarah x
DeleteLovely collage and I´m looking forward to see more of your beautiful pictures and countryside next year!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 - the best!

Love the rusty snail! Happy new year! xx
ReplyDeleteI hope blog will keep going for another four years - and more! I love those photo montages you have put together. They are a good way of conveying an "atmosphere" very concisely. Those of us who don't live by the sea imagine it to be always like our best memories of ripples lapping on a golden sandy beach in High Summer, but actually the sea is more often dark, rough and threatening, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe sea is certainly looking dark, rough and threatening at the moment! Like the seasons it varies so much. Sarah x
DeleteBest wishes to you Sarah for the coming year may it bring all that you wish for yourself and thank you for proving us with lovely coastal scenes and interesting posts of your wandering so.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent collages and especially last picture is of a natural beauty, love it.
ReplyDeleteWish you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Hello dear Sarah, nothing beats Christmas with the family does it? I've just finished taking down the tree and packing away the decorations until next year. Hubby chopped up the tree and it's already on it's way to the tip with loads of other rubbish! From a very windy and wet Southsea, wishing you and yours a healthy, happy and joyful 2016! Sharon x PD: Oh, and I love the new blog pic at the top it's really lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to look back at 2015 ...
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a Happy and Healthy New Year
All the best Jan
Dear Sarah,
ReplyDeleteLovely to look back on your wonderful photos over the past year - you can't beat seeing photos of the sea, to make you feel calm and at ease.
Also how sweet Tavi is under the Christmas tree and great that you had the family home for the holidays. Congratulations on your Blog Anniversary and here's to another great year of visiting your blog again.
Best wishes to you and your family, for good health, happiness and prosperity
hugs
Carolyn
Thanks for all you share and
Happy New Year !!
