    Thank you, Emma, for keeping me entertained and inspired while wading through the world's biggest pile of ironing. I'm a new subscriber thanks to Sally (Flossysewsandgrows) so I'm off to catch up on your earlier episodes. Always a treat to find a new flosstuber!
    My favourite seaside beach has to be Embleton on the NorthEast coast; many happy memories of a summer holiday there and playing cricket in the fog with the kids. Strangely we had the whole beach to ourselves. Or as far as we could see... 😄 Lovely stitching, Kim ❤

    That little dresser fridge magnet was a freebie in the early 1990's from a magazine called 'Needlecraft', I believe. I stitched it for my parents' fridge. They live in Weston Super Mare, which is my favourite coastal town to visit, simply because they live there. I don't need to win the chart as I already have it! But I did watch you 'til the very end.
