A lot hotter today

It was a lot hotter on the beach as I built today’s castle (#32).
It was very nice to see Tish again, and to meet Heidi.

The South wind brought some biting flies

there was a shift in the wind today, coming from the south that brought flies. I did have bug spray, but it seems that I am a sitting Target as I build a castle for 5 hours

castle #31 – only 2 more days left

Treasuring each day

My days in Lewes will be coming to an end soon. This makes me treasure them even more, and give thanks for each day.
You might remember that my sign was blown away in a storm last week. Today, a beautiful lady came, carrying my sign! She said it was right under where they were sitting. We think it must have come up in the last high tide we had.
Here is Castle #30.

Perfect weather and good friends

Good friends on the beach make it an even better day, and the weather was perfect! Heather brought her 3 daughters, joining Linda Mouradian , John and Audrey Bewley, and Diane Lombardo .

Giving thanks

I do not take these days for granted, I am very thankful to be here in Lewes.
A lot of people came by today, including Giovanni and Jeff. Giovanni took a picture of me to send to my friend Andrea. 💕
David brought his two daughters, Evelyn (7) and Max (5). I had met them last year, and they remembered how to make castles. They built one right next to mine.💕🏰

Castle #28 today

Kids and castles today!

Kids and castles today!
Audrey (6 1/2) and Lilia (5 1/2) came to learn how to build castles, and built a very nice one together, with steps.
I was so happy to see Kailee with her two wonderful kids, Carson (5) and Bryson (2) again! Carson was my favorite on the beach today! She kept checking on my progress, giving compliments on my work, and keeping me company while I built! She and her mom built the best decorated Castle on the beach today!
Two brothers, aged 7 and 4, worked with their grandfather, building a huge castle today!

Onshore wind today

There was a brisk on shore breeze today keeping the beach cool as I taught kids and built Castle #26.

This picture would have been a lot better without my finger in the shot!
high tide was being pushed up by the onshore wind

After the Storm and the second high tide

After the storm, the castle mound was half there (the back half had gone to the high tide.) My Sandcastle Lady sign had gone with the wind. I told people that were walking up and down the beach to keep an eye out for it.
I built a castle, but this was 12 hours after the storm, and the high tide came up and took the back and half of the front.
I like to make up stories, and hoped that the people in the villages on the back had evacuated before that tide got them!

I think the people in the village houses were safe, but they should be thinking of an evacuation plan soon.

I am hoping all the people in the village on this side of the castle were able to evacuate!
