Family gathering

A good day today.
The rain kept away..just and we had a pleasant walk along Roosebeck beach. An extremely  high tide has washed up all the shells to reveal the sand below.

Then  to the caravan to meet up with my niece Melanie, great-nephew Joe and  Tom and my brother Alan and Liz. 

I've not seen Melanie for nearly 3 years so it was so good to meet up. As usual it felt like we'd never been apart and the conversation flowed. She is such a chirpy upbeat person and staying so positive . We re all hoping the cancer treatment works. 

Plenty of talking and the only photos of the group taken by Tom so  the Blip is of the blackberries, taken on Fletchs teatime walk. Already they are ripening. 
The year is turning. 

 It's been a week of reminders of how time passes too quickly.
I see its 2 years this week that I started 'Blipping' ( thank you Flavia13 for recommending this wonderful site!)

 Thank you everyone for the stars, hearts and lovely comments.
