Brodie goes to the playa....

I'm trying to be more brave about taking photos of dolls in public so yesterday took Brodie, my new Iplehouse BID Bordy, out with us when we went to Torrox Costa for our lunch.  The lunch itself was lovely, we went to our favourite Chinese restaurant there and had Peking Crispy Duck, it's delicious....and the restaurant itself is on the promenade next to the beach, so it's a great place to relax and watch the world go by!

It was very hot so I didn't take that many photos really but what I did take I thought came out well...being tanned Brodie is perfect to photograph in the bright light here.

You'll see she got to wear the sunhat today!!!  This hat is worn by so many of my dolls, it's a wonder it's not falling apart!!!

Firstly she sat for a while and watched the kids practising their basketball moves!

Then she wandered along the wall above the beach, the sand here is lovely and fine but Brodie decided to keep her socks and shoes on....she didn't want the scratchy feel of sand between her toes!  

  She has the cutest profile, don't you think?

Watching for dolphins....unfortunately it was a bit late in the day for dolphins, they tend to be seen more in the mornings!

Thank you for visiting, I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Teddy plays in the sand....

I took Teddy to the beach on Monday morning as he'd been a good and patient boy whilst I've been sewing and enjoying my BJDs!  He has some new sand toys so he insisted on taking them with him and he had a great time building sand castles and playing with his new truck.  I got this perfectly sized truck with several spades and some sealife shapes all in a little plastic string bag for just 1 euro!  Teddy was delighted with them.  He already had his bucket and spade (again came with several digging implements, also 1 euro) so he had plenty to play with in the sunshine.  And...he kept his clothes on this time, even though it was really hot and he'd have been much more comfortable without them!  Such a funny little boy!

The sand on our local beach is quite dark, though not as dark as it appears in my photos.....I took the photos with the rising sun behind me, so as to catch the natural light on Teddy.

Somehow he managed to get sand all up his nose!!

The beautiful colours of nature....

Last night I took some photos of the sunset as the colours were so pretty.  I thought I'd share them here as I've not taken any dolly photos for the last week.

I hope you'll enjoy the beautiful colours of nature as much as I did.
