December Afternoon Beach
Reeds
The Cat girls walked down to the beach on a mild and pleasant December afternoon…first through the reeds…

Crevasse
…then along a crevasse in the rocks (they tried very hard not to get their tails wet!).

They scrambled half way up the rockface (knocking a few periwinkles off the sides) and rested on a shelf…

Up
…and after a breather, they clambered even higher…

floating
…until they reached this amazing floating tide pool.

Look down – you might fall up, and land on an island in the sky!

Opal and Agathe love the Hitty cupboard, but sometimes they have to escape to the beach…

Amazing. Photographs and sure Hitties too. I was just behind of them as if… I smell the sea… Thank you, Love, nia
Dear nia, the Hittys love it when you follow along behind them! The sea is wonderful, we love the rocks and sand near here – and the cold water, and changeable weather!
I feel like nia does. I can almost smell the sea. The cat girls are always a delight and your lovely photos are such a wonderful uplifting pick me up. Those large boulders are beautiful against the back drop of the sea. Magical.
I am so glad…the sea does have a particular smell – salt, ozone, seaweed…we love it very much, and try to breathe it in mindfully!
It’s wonderful that the cat girls take advantage of the offers of nature where they’ve been planted. The serenity is a blessing.
There is something about sitting on a driftwood log, watching and hearing the waves roll in and out again, which is almost hypnotic, (on a calm day!). We are very lucky to have this almost right outside the back door!!
What a lovely day out in an inspiring and energizing environment.
Thanks! It was a lovely day out, we were glad to get a bit of exercise, and also clear our heads with all the fresh air!
I’ve so enjoyed celebrating the season with your Hitty clan… The cat hoodies are just darling and I loved the tomten hats they’ve been wearing during their advent adventures. As always your photography is so evocative. Thanks so much.
We are really glad you have enjoyed our stories and adventures – the cat hoodies are one of our favourites – Opal and Agathe feel very cat-like when they are wearing them!
Wow! I LOVE it! Thank you!!!
Thank you – we are so lucky to live this close to the beach!
Love the cat jackets with the adorable tails, and that dainty flash of lace cuff under the skirt edge!
Opal’s socks are lacy at the top…the Cat jackets are pretty much worn all winter by Opal and Agathe…they love them too!
wonderful photos and text. being landlocked it is an adventure to see the Hittys and the sea! And the poetry of it!
Also those tails always make me chuckle.
The Block twins insisted on the tails! They feel more feline with them (despite being only safety-pinned on!)
