Text from one of the Beach Cottage Crew : ’Mum! Mum! OMG I am, like, sitting on the bus behind 2 people talking about you!’
Text from Mrs Beach Cottage : ‘errrrm, what?’
Text from one of the Beach Cottage Crew : ‘OMG there are, like, 2 women reading your blog! On the bus!’
Text from Mrs Beach Cottage : ’haha funny!’
Text from one of the Beach Cottage Crew : ‘ OMG, now, like, talking about how one made our chorizo stew & boyfriend loved it!’
Text from Mrs Beach Cottage : ‘sweet, heehee!’
Text from one of the Beach Cottage Crew : ‘OMG, one of them says her friend who is a nurse reads it at work!’
Text from Mrs Beach Cottage : ‘I love nurses’
Text from one of the Beach Cottage Crew : ‘OMG, they are, like, saying something about you and broomsticks???’
cough cough
and then I met Mrs Woog, another Sydney blogger who had a similar thing happen & wondered who was reading her blog
and I was sitting with her and a glass of wine as her de-lurking took place
all of the above got me thinking
errrm so these girls are reading my blog on the bus…these girls I don’t know and have never met…but I sure know they are there
…it’s kinda weird right, this whole blogging thing?
today I sit here and you sit where?
today, Editor-in-Chief
(that’s me)
is taking Blogger’s Industrial Action
this worker is officially on strike
this is a Beach Cottage Virtual Picket Line, I am withdrawing my labour today
it’s your turn to de-lurk and tell me all about you
I can see you you know
I know you are there
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE ARE YOU?
WHAT DO YOU DO?
are you reading me at work, or do you live on the beaches?
are you a mum or grandma, a youngie or a stay-at-home-dad?
are you Down Under, or do you wish you were?
are you across that big old pond? or lovely old Blighty?
hit me with it Beach Cottage girls

I’m Rosa and am from Missouri. I used to live out East, a couple hours from the coast, and miss it terribly. We plan to move back next year – yay! :) I’m a SAHM with two little boys and read your blog while sitting on my couch. Love your coastal style and blog – so pretty & such an inspiration! :)
I am a nurse from the sweet Carolinas in the USA. I love reading your blog and daydream of someday living on the water in Historical Beaufort NC, home of the pirate lore. I am so impressed with you and your “stones” to move so far from home and make it A HAPPY ONE. I take care of our Veterans in our Veterans hospital and feel so blessed so be a part of their lives.
I’m from Queensland, I don’t live on the beach (but wish I did). I have two children aged 22 and 19, I am married, I work full time at QLD Health. I love renovating and looking at photos of houses and house magazines and pottering around my house. I love your blog because of your tips, the makeovers and your style. I always read your blog at home, not enough time at work and I drive to work. How funny it must have been for your family to hear “strangers” talking about your blog. xx
I am a wife and mom of 1 (plus another on the way) who works parttime and lives in a small beautiful city on the Colorado River in the very hot desert of Arizona. I follow a wide variety of blogs and enjoy pics of your tattered cottage as it is such a contrast to the homes where I live.
Hi Sarah,
I have lived at Frenchs Forest in the same little 3 bedroom cottage for for the past 10 years and am married to a lovely guy – my sweetheart for the past 21 years. I have 3 little girls aged 3,7 and 9. I work as a nurse 3 days a week – have been nursing for 17 years and still love it!. I am also a part time cake decorator – something I adore (I just made a Manly Football Jersey yesterday:). I love thrifting and renovating and adore the thrill of finding a ‘treasure’ on the side of the road or at the op shops and taking it home for some TLC (usually much to my husband’s dismay :)). I am obsessed with ruffles, bunting, white things and flaky paint. I read your blog at home and find it so inspiring with your amazing sense of style both within your home and in the fashion you wear. You seem to have a fantastic, fresh and down to earth attitude to life and you crack me up with some of the things you say.
thanks and hello the Forest xoxo
keep up the nursing, you girls need a medal xo
I am a stay-at-home mother of 4 boys (18months to 16yrs. old) in Orlando Florida….dreaming of blogging but haven’t mustered the courage to do so. I am so inspired by your carefree beachy blogging style. I also am a fan of white and weathered, Ikea and all things DIY. I am obsessed with creating a beautiful place to raise my family, create memories and enjoy all life has to offer…with a cup’o joe in hand! LOL!
Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
I am a SAHM living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I read your blog about 3 times a week, it’s the only time I have carved out for myself. I am obsesses with decorating our house cheaply, but doesn’t look cheaply and my husband is not liking all the furniture I am painting white lately (I have requested a paint gun for my birthday). I thank you for that, he has started work at a company that has a office in Sydney and has requested a transfer, I think we have a long wait for that. Maybe we might live by the beach as well, can only dream. Love your blog.
I live in Collaroy and a mother of two young men 21 & 19.
I will admit that when I’m at Coles MV looking at the clothing I always have my eyes peeled for a possible Mrs BC sighting
I am a stay at home mom of two young teenage girls. I too live near the beach but the beaches in Edmonds, Washington, USA are NOT like the beaches in Australia. That is why I read your blog. To get my warm beach fix. I love that you are not a native to Australia and I feel like you are still discovering where you live. And I love your videos set to music!
Love the idea of this post! I am a lurker old and new. I followed for a while when a friend sent me over, then I went blogging MIA while I worked on my business, now I stop in because I love reading what you have to say and I love the things you share, many recipies have been a big hit over here and I love the stripey skirt!
I am a stay at home Mum of two, who has her own handmade kids clothing label. I leave on the Central Coast of NSW and we adore the beach too, just wish it was in walking distance, we have a 10 min drive (but that is to about 6 different beaches and they are all amazing!
It is lovely to read the simple things of life that I can relate to and I love getting different dinner ideas! I also have a friend whom I mentioned your blog too and she said she used to chat to you(via her blog) when she was blogging about building her house too, and she was glad to be reminded and revisit your blog, funny how things go around! Enjoy your day xx
I am waiting for the 2 ladies on the bus to comment. LOL that is very cool Mrs BC
OMG! I didn’t even think of that!!!!
they haven’t come out of the woodwork have they?? funny ;-)

I’m from Florida, but not the beaches. I live “way down upon the Suwannee River”, if anyone knows that old folk song. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 years. We have three kids and 2 dogs. I’m a stay at home mom and love it!
Your blog is one of my favorites. I love the beaches, your home, and you. It so much fun to follow someone with similar interests on the other side of the world. Sometimes it makes me feel like a world class traveler.
Hey Sarah,
I’m Jennifer from Victoria Point, a 40 is the new 30 something happily married, work at home Mum of 1 teenage daughter. Born and bred in Qld , my family are all from Western Queensland so I spent a lot of time there growing up and love going back and I am kinda torn between whether I am a country girl who loves the beach or a beachy girl who loves the country, having lived here for over 20 years now.
I found your blog, gees it would have to be well over a year ago now, when I typed in “white, coastal, country inspiration” in Google looking for some ideas for our old place and somehow ended up at your place and have been a regular visitor ever since because I just love your work. I too don’t have a blog, life gets in the way at the moment with a full time job and stuff and doing up an old Queenslander, but I would love to start one soon maybe. Love your’s though!! xx
Hi Sarah,
You’re right, we all now who you ‘are’, but you don’t know a thing about us… So, I’ve been a follower for a while now, and this is who I am: Chantal, Dutch, returned to the Netherlands last August after having lived abroad for 8 years (expat-wife) of which 6 in beautiful Brazil and 2 years in fabulous France :) I’m 40+, married, 1 son (almost 13 yrs old), a Golden Retriever and so far, SAHM, although on the look-out for a part-time job. Or I hope that I will have the guts to start my own business…
Love your blog, the viseos, the pictures you make & especially in winter time here, it gives me back the feeling I had when living in Brazil!!
Take care!
xo Chantal
Hi Sarah,
My name is Lauren. I live in Philadelphia, PA for 6 months of the year and Quogue, NY for the other 6 months. Quogue is a beach town and I started following you when I was looking for inspiration on how to decorate our beach house. I’m 42 y/o, married, and have a rescued greyhound named Fred. No children. I’m a professional photographer working in the music industry. My husband’s a tennis pro. I’m obsessed with blogs and love yours! Thank you for it!!
Hi Sarah:
I am Lori from NE Ohio. I’m an interior designer working for a construction company. My children are mid to late 20′s. Two are special ed teachers and one is an accountant with a well known international firm. We live one mile from Lake Erie. I grew up with boats and beaches. I will retire with my hubby in two years (he also teaches) and begin my own blogging adventure at that time. I love gardening, reading and all the birds that visit my yard besides my home remakes. Today I turned 55. I love this bloggy world and you are one of my favorites Sarah!
Keep on bloggin’ and using your great photos.
XOXO Lori
I am Daniela, executive assistant at a financial services firm in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am 45 years old and I LOVE your blog! Actually is my break whenever I just need to breathe and keep on going….! Anxioulsy awaiting your bathroom reveal!
XOXOX

hi sarah. i stopped replying a while ago but i read your blog regularly and love the photos! i live inland in southern california, usa. i have beach touches, but not a beach look because i’m not really close to the water. i love your stories of easy access to coffee, walks on the beach, dips in the ocean. it seems an ideal life made more precious with the odd broomstick event. without it where would we be? jane
I am retired and live in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. We have about another month of freezing weather and snow to look forward to, then another month of rain and mud before we finally get to see some tiny buds of green appear on the trees and baby blades of grass push out of the ground. Your lovely blog reminds me that somewhere there is warmth and the beauty of nature, and I hope to get to see it all again in real life someday. Meanwhile, I’ve painted the inside of my apartment in beach colours and am slowly decorating it with seashells and thrift-store finds, trying to create a sanctuary from the concrete jungle outside. Your blog is such an inspiration.
I’m Kerry and I’m from Illinois. My dream is to move to Florida and am working on that. I love life, my job, my family and friends, and most of all, God. I am new to the blogging world and am in awe of people like you. Thanks for sharing your corner of the world with your followers!
Hi Sarah. I’m Roz and I live right across the street from the beach in Mudjimba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. I’m an ex-chef and I now make jewellery for a living. I am a grandmother of three who lives and breathes anything about the beach. I don’t spend as much time blogging as I should. I seem to be always creating! I love reading your blog and seeing what you are doing. I am determined to be more dedicated to blogging but I am about to move house to a smaller townhouse which is only 10 metres from the beach in Marcoola. I will be even more in heaven. I love collecting shells and driftwood and have made some pretty decent indoor decorations lately! It’s very addictive. Thanks for providing this reader with an entertaining blog! xxx
I agree, this blogging thing is so weird and wonderful sometimes…I’ve met two bloggers in person and they are both lovely ladies…it’s great to meet like-minded new friends…you’re never too old (I spout)…to make a friend!! Those two ladies on the bus are going to have a laugh when they read your post!! Robx
Hey Sarah,
I’m Marnie …I live in Melbourne, but I’ll always be a Queenslander at heart.
I’m a Mum to 3 little boys, a wife, a make-up artist, and a blogger too.
Woops, I missed this request…
I am Tabby from Arkansas. I work at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. But I live in Siloam Springs. I drive about 45 minutes each way for work/home. My husband and I have been staying with his mother who was raising her youngest granddaughter. The granddaughter turned 18 this month and is out on her own. My husband has a daughter from a previous relationship, she is 29 and has two sons. I have a son from a previous marriage he is 25. He spent two years in Iraq and is back home safe and sound.
We just found out we will be moving soon, a lovely home in the country with of all things, a huge jacuzzi soaking tub. Can’t wait for that!
I love reading your blog. I’ve always wanted to live on the ocean. We spent six months a few years ago caring for a sailboat a friend owns, it had damage from a hurricane. It was the most magical six months of my life. I could totally see myself living that way the rest of my life.
I love the photos of the beautiful beaches in Australia. The flowers, the lovely sunny days. I guess I just envy the walks on the beaches and the days of nothing but beautiful beaches.
I guess I’ve rambled enough.
I’m a stay at home mom who loves to teach,all things white and blue,hiking,finding treasures at flea markets and thrift stores and the like,crafting,sewing,knitting,writing,and spending as much time with my family as possible. My son is so awesome as a person that even if he weren’t my son I’d want to hang out with him and my husband is my best friend. I love serving my Lord through ministry work and love baking a little too much. Live in WI.
Hi Sarah, I live in land-locked Mexico, Missouri, but I spend time each year on my two favorite beaches – Sanibel, Florida and Zihuatanejo, Mexico. (Or some other beach in Mexico, the country, not Mexico, Missouri!) I am possibly your oldest reader. I will be seventy next Feb. I have an antiques business. Not a pretty little shop, but a big old warehouse type place. You would have lots of fun shopping here. What drew me to your blog was our mutual love of all things white. I wish I had the energy and talent to blog. I really enjoy reading blogs, but I’m too lazy to write one. . . Thank you for sharing your life with us. Sue Austin, Mexico MO
p.s. A few years ago I mailed you a stack of magazines. Remember? I don’t remember what they were. . . . lol
of course I remember you Sue!
I think I need to come and poke around in your shop! xoxoxo
Hi Sarah,
I have only recently discovered your blog – and love it. I am keen to renovate and sell my house (haven’t informed my husband yet) to buy my dream house. In order to do that I need to actually take action and throw out a good deal of the detritus of 12 years of co-habitation, do some repairs and a great deal of cleaning; apparently buying home improvement magazines and sighing doesn’t do all of that for you.
I am a SAHM of 4 kids aged between 4-11, and we live in beautiful Brisbane, Queensland. We love it here but I have a soft spot for Sydney, and the Northern Beaches, as I used to visit regularly with an ex boyfriend in my carefree childless days…..
I am Colleen, i am a mother of three sons, grandmother of twelve and great grandmother of four. I live in the Brisbane Vally near Fernvale Queensland. Live and love my life in the Great Australian Bush with dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cows, chickens and the wild life. Yearn to smell the beach once more but never live back there.
I’m Stephanie, I live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, just across the harbour from the better-known city of Halifax. My husband and I along with our 2.75 year old son, live in a 90-year old semi-detached Arts and Crafts style house. If you stand on your tippy toes in our bedroom, you can see the harbour. Dartmouth/Halifax is a wonderful place for toddlers as we can wander down to the passenger ferry terminal, which is just past the train track, hop on a ferry, marvel at the military and other helicopters flying by as we make our way across the “Big Harbour” to see “Theodore Tugboat” on the Halifax side. And while we enjoy our city life, we love spending time at our family’s “beach cottage” on Grand Lake in New Brunswick, where we swim, read, relax and eat lovely things and whenever the family can’t find me, they know to check the blueberry field.
I very much enjoy your blog. We’re in the midst of some upgrades and will be painting our house over the course of the next few months.
hey Steph and hello Dartmouth! x
Hello, hello!
My name is Jasmine and I live in Brisbane. I follow you on Instagram (lavendersgreen) and I love the daily dose of Beach Cottage and beach beauty you give us :) I live very close to the city, so the beach is a ‘sometimes’ thing for me. I’m newly married and am in the beginning steps of doing up our 90+ year-old Queenslander workers cottage.
I’m currently sitting at our dining room table, listening to my newly created gym playlist (trying to iron out any dodgy songs). I work in IT, which is a frightfully boring job at times, so I love reading inspirational blogs like yours to get my creative mojo back :)
x Jasmine
PS. Have the bus ladies said hello yet?
Hi Sarah
I started following a few months ago and love your posts. I’m on maternity leave until June so in between nappy changes, feeding, & sleeps I check a few blogs & twitter for doses ofsanity time. I live in Melbourne and dream of one day owning a homewares shop and living in a house like the pages of my coffee table books.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Hi Sally
thanks for de-lurking, nice to ‘meet’ you! x
I’m Jacqui, I live in Melbourne and am also one of the lucky ones to now be an Australian! I moved from South Africa with my family in 1999. I follow a lot of different blogs through Google Reader, and A Beach Cottage is one of the few in my favourites folder! I usually check during my mid-morning coffee break at work, or in the evenings after work. I don’t get to the beach too aftern but whenever I do I always wish I brought my camera so I can get photots like yours!
hi Jacqui, isn’t this a fantastic place to end up in? xoxo
p.s thanks for the blog love
I’m Kristen and I’m in Maine. I work just outside of Boston. I read at home on the couch while watching tv after putting the LOs to bed. I NEVER read at work ;) Oh, work – I work in IT in healthcare. I set up interfaces for EMRs. We live in a 1850s cape-style house. I just wish I spent more time in it instead of in the office – so I could put in place some of your inspiration!
waving to Kristen in an 1850′s cape house, the house of my dreams xo
Hi Sarah!
I’m Christine, 38 year old wife of a gorgeous man and mum of two gorgeous kids aged 11 and 8. We live in Perth, Western Australia mid-way between the beach and the city :)
I have only recently found your blog so I’m working my way through your archives, rushing to get my jobs done in the morning so I can sit at the laptop with my coffee and indulge myself! Absolutely love your fashion posts, we have a very similar style and my “uniform” is a lot like yours. We have just sold our house and are building a new one, in the same suburb, though a bit closer to the beach! Getting lots of inspiration from you. I love your photography and you’ve made me realise I need to get a decent camera!
I’m off to KMart today to get me some of those gorgeous blue glasses – what a bargain at $10 hey??!!
Lovely to meet you and keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Christine x
hey Christine, nice to meet you, I hope you enjoy reading here xo
Hi Sarah
I’m a 54 yr-old Brit living abroad near the beach. I live in France near a small village on the Mediterranean. I’m married and we have two daughters in their 20′s and 2 dogs. We moved to France 20 years ago and moved to this house by the sea just 2 years ago which is when I found your blog. I love your style, especially the doors and the table settings.
Thanks for sharing.
Just discovered your site today. Love the beachy cottage look. Have lived near the ocean for many years in lovely old houses. Currently, am landlocked in New Hampshire USA but with aspirations to return to the East Coast in the near future, where all of my beachy things can once again be home! Am the mother of two wonderful blK & white English Springer Spaniels who look wonderful on white linen and down pillows! Enjoy your site and will check back often.
Hi Sarah,
Sunny greetings from Hamburg in Northern Germany. I am Sabine, running my own business as a consultant and live together with my husband and two charming cats in a “Strandhaus” (the German beach cottage). I discovered your blog a few weeks ago and love the inspiration not only for the house but also for reminding me of the best beach in town nearby. I love your Saturday Club (yes: life looks better in wellies!!) and looking at your fabulous beach photos dreaming of the upcoming summer at the North Sea beaches. 1 love the idea that there is someone in Down Under and woman all around the world following your blog loving the same things than I do. When we moved to our house a few years ago everyone around asked me how my house could be a beach cottage if the beach is not directly in front of it but 10 minutes away ;-) But with “white, vintage and nautical” I can hear the breaking waves of the North Sea even if it takes a two hour journey to get there. And so in the last weeks your blog turns out to be one of my daily goodies with photos and stories from the other side of the world about beaches, puppies, white, nautical and vintage. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas about the things you love.
Sabine
hello Sabine!
nice to meet you x
Hi Sarah I love your blog and read it regularly.I dont live near the beach but love to visit them.I live in a little town called Nundle it is a very pretty place to see.it is on the part of the great dividing range and occassionally we get snow in the winter.thanks for sharing your life, you keep me sane at times! I am a mum to 2 great boys 15 and 20.i love to ride my horse,garden and sew.Of course I have many WIP things on the go! Im slowly painting the inside of the farmhouse we live in (it comes with my husbands job) but its very slow progress! I work casually in the library in tamworth which i love>wow there is so many books out there to read.need to make more time in my life.
thanks for your fashion tips I eally enjoy them. What sort of camera do you use? thanks again for sharing your life Judy
thanks Judy I use a Canon with a 50mm lens mostly
I love the sound of your little town, Nundle, what a sweet name! x
Hi Sarah, I’m from Melbourne and before I found your blog I would purchase mountains of decorating magazines looking for ideas for our home and then I stumbled across your blog. Thankyou for showing us your home and beautiful ideas and bargains. I am new at this also I am married with 3 children and 3 step children and a stay at home mum. Thankyou again for giving me somewhere to go and dream a little. Kind Regards, Shelly.
thanks Shelly! enjoy your dreams! Sarah
Hi Sarah,
I’m Deb, from Aldinga Beach, South Australia. I am a professional photographer, running a business from home, mostly weddings and family portraits, am a mum of 2 kidlets, 9 yr old son, and 3 yr old daughter. Happily married for 16 yrs, and have live a block from the beach for the last 14 years, the 1st 4 yrs in QLD on the sunshine coast. Been in our house for 10 yrs now, and I came accross your blog while looking for white beachy inspiration, as our house was built brand new, but was definitely lacking in a scheme and character! I follow you on facebook also, but look forward to my morning coffee, and checking my emails, and your daily update. Probably found you about 6 months ago, and slowly trying to catch up on previous posts when I can.
I love your pics, and the funny things that go on in your every day life. Keep up the great work!
Deb. x
Hi Deb
Thanks so much for the blog love!
Sounds like you lead a very busy life, nice to ‘meet’ you!
xx
Hello Sarah,
I juste stumbled across your amazing blog 2 weeks ago and we’re now recycling and doing the house following your DIY posts and so on. A great source of inspiration. I live on the seaside, West South of France (near Hossegor a place which is well known among surfers of all kind). Beach is part of my life since forever… I am 33 and a pro photographer :) Nice to follow you !

Hi Sarah
I’ve been reading your blog for quite a long time. We live on the Sunshine Coast on the hill overlooking the ocean. I share your love of the sea and beach living and enjoy watching your house evolve. I admire your ability to take old things to a new level and help continue their life rather than being thrown on the scrap heap. Recycling is close to my heart.
Our household of 3 has now dwindled to 2 as our son has moved to Brisbane, and we do miss his presence, but not the mess. His visits are precious. My husband is a self employed architect and I help with the non creative side of it. It’s been fun, but retirement looms and another stage of life begins.
So yes this is another silent participant in your wonderful blog and tell Mr Teen I loved reading his entry on your blog recently. You have obviously inspired him to ‘see’ not just ‘look.’
Lee
oh thanks Lee, that brought a tear to my eye…he so seems to be ‘seeing’ I know exactly what you mean, I LOVE seeing that in my kiddos…a precious gift
I have been to the Sunshine Coast a few times now, I have to say it is one of the loveliest places I have been here…I loved seeing some of the history up there too!
Enjoy the next stage of life…I am presuming it is calm and nice
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
I just discovered your lovely blog this weekend. I live in a little stone cottage in Montreal, Canada. I too am facing an empty nest this summer, when the youngest of my three sons moves out. I have so enjoyed making a.nest for my family, and continue to do my best to make it a welcoming place to visit if only for a good meal on a Sunday, or to use my much beleaguered washing machine and dryer! I guess I’m a fan of the beachy “look” because of the fierce Montreal winters. Summertime is a much welcomed state of mind,especially during those crazy snow storms! Keep up the great work!
I just found your blog today and it is such a breath of fresh air. I love what you and your family have done with your cottage! It was inspiring to read that you wanted a seaside home and went for it, moving far away from your original homeplace. I am from Arizona and have 5 kids and 11 grandkids. Keep writing your wonderful blog it’s great :)
thanks so much!
Hello Mrs BC – I am sitting here reading through lots of your older posts and came across this one – asking who your readers are. I’ve been following you for years. I comment every now and then but haven’t for ages (have 2 young children 3 & 5) so get to the computer in bursts ! I recently turned the big 39+1 (have a hard time writing it the right way !!!). I live northwest sydney – have always dreamt of living by the sea (so coming across your blogg was HEAVEN) . You have inspired many projects in my home. You had an old white cupboard that had pressed metal panels (I think) all painted white of course. Well that inspired me for a desk I had purchased (that was inside a cupboard ) so you could have all your mess and computer and then quickly close the doors and no one know its there. Well pressed metal was too heavy to hang on the cupboard doors – so I purchased white embellised wallpaper that looks like pressed metal patterns ! and bought old handles to make it look vintage. I just love it ! all inspired by Mrs BC. I have painted old bedside tables white and spruced them up, have created photo hanging racks from old cane fencing (painted white of course) all inspired by just looking at your beautiful pics. I read a few other bloggs – but very rarely do any of them take me to another place like yours does. There’s lots of people out there writing writing writing – and sometimes it doesn’t make you feel better – coming to Mrs BC’s Cottage – always makes me feel lighter and brighter and positive – a breath of fresh sea air !!! I’m so very glad that I found a BeachCottage – you are my home away from home ! (and your home is what I dream of !!!) Oops – can hear the littlies squabbling – must log off and out I go into reality !!!! thank you Mrs BC for helping me dream of the sea !!!!
