So you guys know how much I love the seaside don’t you? I might have mentioned it once or twice before…



We paid a visit to the beach, the Turner Contemporary and a shall grotto. The shell grotto reckoned it had SIX-POINT-ONE-MILLION shells. I believed it. If the guide was to be believed, the shells were arranged in various shapes representing fertility (including number 14, “phallus/mushroom”.) On the way out, I bought a ‘Margate’-engraved shell (“made in Polynesia”).

After that we called in on a snoopers-paradise-esque secondhand emporium. I happened upon the STRAW BAG OF MY DREAMS which was pretty delightful.


Also tucked away in the labyrinthine shop was this little briefcase. The colour caught my eye and out of curiosity I opened it up and was delighted to find it wasn’t a briefcase at all, but a Cassette Library. I’ve modelled it here with our wonderful Fika Recordings cassettes… Check them out if you get a chance.
Oh, and lunch was chips on the beach…
