We've been stuck in the house long enough. It was a nice spring day yesterday apart from the wind so let me show you around a couple of local spots. You can see the Sea Cliff bridge in this photo, about ten minutes away from home. The pillars were built into the ocean and the bridge is used for a lot of car ads.
A nice stop for lunch. in Whale season you might be lucky enough to spot some.
Good view, good food and good company.
Here's our local beach and where I'm standing is the launch spot for hand gliders and p
aragliders and no I'm not game. Australia has the most beautiful coastlines and I'm lucky enough to live so close to one of them.
Just on the outskirts of town is this Hindu temple and I've always meant to go and have a look. Unfortunately it was closed inside.
I couldn't resist taking this photo of two gum trees, there's such a contrast in the barks. The light one is a white gum and the dark one is a peppermint gum. Living in harmony.
And just so there's some
quilty content, here's the next MM block. I won't talk about the pink reverse applique in the flowers.
I'm off on another short trip now so more next time.

Thanks for the tour...those beaches are nice but that plate of seafood - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! 10 minutes away?! Looked like an enjoyable day. The red fabric in your MM block is pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful scenery! That bridge is way cool! :0)
ReplyDeleteThe scenery photos are as if you were on a holiday! How lucky you are to live so close to that beautiful beach area.
ReplyDeleteWow, just beautiful pictures of your area. We live on the coast line too here in the states, but oh my gosh...I need to pop in down there for a visit. I also need to order a big plate of seafood!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trip,
~Karen~
Oh my! You live in such a beautiful area! it's wonderful to see it through your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat lunch looks amazing!! Oh, I'm so hungry and am eating leftovers tonight:)
Love your new block. I htink the little pink centers look fine. What are they supposed to look like?
Lovely day out for you and, as you said, the weather was beautiful. You live much closer to me than I realised. I've been to Scarborough Pub a few times for lunch when visiting a dear friend who lives in Otford.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, the scenery there is delightful and looking so much nicer/warmer than the grey skies and 30 degree weather that we are having here! (you would never know that just last month it was 90 degrees) Love your MM block!
ReplyDeleteOH MY how lucky you are to live sooo close to such a beautiful place!!! thanks for sharing the photos--i could also "smell" the fresh air!!! Your applique blocks are always so beautiful too---Hugs, Di
ReplyDeleteWow, your MM blocks are moving along nicely. I love each and every one.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Janet - yes, we do live in a very beautiful country! One doesn't have to go far to find it. Wow! Your last block is really something!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline♥
now I really miss summer... yummy food! the beach!... sigh.
ReplyDeletelove those turkey reds on your MM block! that reverse applique on the pink must have been insane to do... well done!
OMGosh that platter of food looks wonderful!! I miss having good seafood now that I live in a land locked state.
ReplyDeleteCrispy
Gorgeous photos. Is that just your plate? Since you won't talk about it, I won't ask about the reverse applique.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog. You do beautiful applique work! I'll be back again soon. Thankyou for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJust Adore the MM block Janet. Wonderful photos and that seafood :-) Yumm. We have such a gorgeous coast line different where ever you go.

Lynne
Looks like you're having great weather for your trip! And the next MM block is beautiful. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYour block is beautiful as always. I love the red print you used. What beautiful coastline pictures!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you live near such beautiful beaches. The photos were wonderful and the latest MM block is just great. The block will not tell anyone about the reverse applique.
ReplyDeleteour coastlines in australia are truly spectacular! how lovely that you live so close to this one, a day out like that would make you feel better! lunch looked yummy too!
ReplyDeletewow the pictures are just beautiful
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful coastline picture.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the gorgeous photos of your trip! Glad to know you are feeling up to getting out and wandering around! Beautiful MM block!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Magnificent views! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome place you live. The bridge reminds of the viaduct we have in NC and it is my little picture when I leave a comment. The ocean is so beautiful and I love the photo of the gum trees. Tree bark can be do different on trees.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course our block is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I'm coming to visit you, Janet. Those sites are stunning, nothing like we have in Iowa, though it is beautiful in it's own way.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a delicious lunch and the grass huts are very cool.There is nothing like a beautiful spring day to renew you.
Here winter has come about 3 weeks early. The temperature was -16 C or 3.2 F and snowy. Normally the leaves are just beginning to fall. Oh well at least it is quilting and putting on binding weather.
Glad to hear you are getting out.
Take care,
Janet
You do beautiful work; and whow on the gorgeous scenery! It's breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, "WOW!" What an incredibly beautiful country you live in. It's prettier than most picture postcards. Show us more!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous block as well, Janet. I am so in awe at how symmetrical everything is.
I bet it felt great to get out and about.
Hi Janet - OK I won't ask. I love this block - the red fabric is stunning. I hope your outing was beneficial. I bet the lunch was! What a lovely piece of coastline. And the temple? Where is it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing photos - I so want to go there some day.
ReplyDeleteThe MM block is wonderful!
Janet,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the lovely sights of the coast line. I love the ocean and realy miss it now that I am land locked. Your blocks are marvelous... simply marvelous.
When I was a kid we would have clam bakes that looked slightly similar to this. Yummy!
