The Foxes (All of them!), are now off on holiday, but here's what we did last week: |

Hurray for the summer holidays and with this month’s crafty boxes theme being the beach we thought a trip to the seaside could not be missed.
We went to Whitstable and as so often when we go I find myself coming home to peruse Rightmove for houses and scour the train timetables into London for the hubby’s commute. I love the seaside and dream of living closer to the ocean.
I love watching the little foxes amusing themselves on the shoreline, finding interesting stones and shells, ...
...and investigating jellyfish,
....and oyster mounds.
The children did not appreciate the oysters themselves but Mr Fox and I love to eat and drink the local beers at the Royal Oyster Exchange. It can be busy, but the food is great and the beers from local brewers are delicious, I especially like the stout. Kid’s portions are available, and although often busy it is the type of vibe tolerant of young families. Being so close to the beach means you can save dessert for an ice-cream and beach walk to off-set some of those yummy extra calories.
And after we got home, little Una fox could not wait to make something from the shells she’d collected, more inspiration for this months craft boxes, if you would like to order for delivery after 30th August, click HERE.
There are so many things to make with shells and Little Una Fox has become quite obsessed using her book from her granny to identify them and collaging using old shell illustrations I have downloaded from the internet. If you'd like to have a go yourself here are some for you to download, click on the pictures below:
