Alice in… Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Just hanging about on Saltburn pier!
I could have chosen a better day to visit Saltburn, but the sun was shining when I left home. At least I didn’t have to elbow my way through the crowds, but the wind had Alice and her friends bobbing about a bit! Still good fun, though. See how many characters you can recognise?
Of course, there was tea!
Even a slice of Battenberg!
By invitation only
But at least there’s plenty of time!
Not the Ugly Bug Ball!
Don’t forget to click on the smaller photos for details!
Surely not?
Are you talking to me?
I’m feeling just a little cross!
It’ll end in tears!
I had such fun playing with these guys! Each year Saltburn comes up trumps with its yarn bombing, whatever the weather. I hope you enjoyed it too. Thanks to Elaine for reminding me, because I almost forgot.
Have a happy weekend, won’t you, and don’t forget to pop in on Cate at Show My Face with your ‘six’ words. See you Monday!

What a lot of work goes into that knitting! But I guess it must be great fun for knitters to get together to creat these displays…hope so!

I imagine so 🙂 There’s a bit of a mystery about how the pier becomes decorated every year. A secret knitting society! 🙂

Lovely and brilliant. The attention to detail is astonishing. How nice to share with everyone in the community. I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite. A friend shared your post with me today because I was talking about Knitfiti (grafitti for knitters) at my blog. So happy she did 😀 Cheers from Boomdee
