They do keep the streets clean of spilled ice cream and fries though. :mrgreen:
And they're just a bird at the end of the day, doing their bird
thing as nature intended! For me who lived in the centre of France, miles from the sea for 5 years, the cry of a gull combined with the smell of sea air is just the BEST thing! :D :D :D

OK - I'm whining: It's not fair some people have so much talent and I don't have any!! It is very beautiful and for only your second time doing such a quilt. If you don't win, the judges need to have their eyes checked!! :)

I envy you living near Lyme Regis. I fell in love with it in 1968 on my 1st trip to England. As for seagulls, despite their sometimes unpleasant habits, they are beautiful birds, your husband took a perfect photo, and you interpreted it beautifully.
