Officially over....

To offically mark the end of Lauren's summer holidays we headed up to the North Coast yesterday and spent the day in Portrush. We couldn't have picked a better day, the sky was blue and the sun shone as we set off on our journey, which included a quick stop off at Logan's coffee shop for "eats!"
First stop in Portrush was Barry's amusements, (which always seemed bigger and better when I was a child!!) where we tried and tested most of the rides, unfortunately I didn't get to go on Barry's Big Dipper as there were no other volunteers in sight!




We were also treated to some aircraft displays in preparation for the airshow due to be held this week-end, judging by the practise flights it looks like it is going to be a good one!! (hope the weather isn't a washout!)


I didn't have the right lens on my camera for a close-up shot but you can just about make out the planes to the left of the church spire.

Last night I completed my first scrapbook page in ages, anyone who knows me knows that I used to be some-what fanatical about this past-time. Unfortunately I seemed to develop what is known as "scrappers block" and hadn't scrapped a photograph for about 8 months!
I have taken some advice form a fellow blogger and scrapper (thanks Jo), cut my pages to a smaller size and went for it...and this is the result. It is a bit of a scraplift from the recent issue of CK magazine and I think I am happy with it.

Lovely shots.

Being in Barry's reminds everyone of their childhood summers, doesn't it!

Love the scrapbook page, but you KNOW it is time for you to give digital scrapping a go!

Hey, glad I inspired you to scrapbook again. Did you find it easier to scrap the smaller size?
