Patricia's bear and the pier at Teignmouth.

Brilliant when a plan comes together.

Better still when a box of bits becomes a teddy bear again.

This little bear you saw a couple of posts ago. She came over the bridge to be repaired. I must say she  wasn't an easy project.
It wasn't a case of bundling bits in and sewing everything up again.  She will be going home with everything she came with and a little more. Eye's too.
It must be every repairer's nightmare when something you are repairing falls to bits in your hands.
You might remember this photo.

Frankie de tabby kept a good eye on all the repairs.

Working on the bear, Frank demanded attention at every critical moment, always when I had managed to glue my fingers together. I so love my cat.

I love a happy ending.

Happy days, after all the rain, the sun has returned.

Temperatures are up and Magnolia tree's are in bloom.

It was low tide on the beach this morning, giving everyone the chance to walk onto the sandbanks that are normally under water. 

It also gave everyone a better view of the pier.  It was built in 1865. The last Winter storm just about finished it off.

It's all closed off at the moment, no entry, it would be a good thought it can be repaired.
What is a seaside town without it's pier ?

Or without a sandy beach to dig in, eh, Freya.

Lots of love to our daughter Karina who with luck should be out of hospital tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great week and the sun keeps shining.
