Anything Goes Wednesday: Picnic by the Beach

I love the sea and I originally came from a seaside town. We are not that far away from the sea here, but with our busy living life style we cannot always get to it. Last Sunday we had a little time so I baked some scones and packed the picnic basket and set off to the beach about 45 minutes drive from our home. DH and I both prefer winter by the beach than summer. It was a nice afternoon to have a cup of tea by the beach.

Mentone beach is the closest beach for us to get to and is one of many along the edge of Port Phillip Bay. This beach is popular with local residents who use it for walking their dogs, jogging or picnics. There weren't many people that afternoon maybe because it was overcast.

I was all rugged up with scarf and jacket for win protection.

Notice the picnics basket? It is one of my own creations. A reproduction of a tradional scallop basket. It is strong and sturdy to take on car trips.
