Whistling Sands Beach, Wales
The one sunny day we had in Wales. Everyone trying to get the sand to whistle and failing to hear even a squeak.

This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are daughter – Flo, eldest son – Tom, second son – Hugo and third son – Xavier.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with caring for my family and earning a living.
And talking about earning a living, if you need a good all round graphic designer please visit my business website to see if I can help you.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to julie at julieoakleydesign dot com

This is great - love the sky, the people, everything!
These beach pictures are fantastic Julie. I do love to see ordinary scenes depicted in a sketchbook and it always conjurs up the feeling of being there again doesn't it? Much more so than any photo - for me anyway!
thanks very much Ken
I agree Jessie, such a good way to remember and keep those times in your head
I never got any sands to whistle-- what do you do to make that happen?
Josephine Tey spoke of "singing sands" in Scotland in one of her books. Has anyone ever heard THAT?
Goodness knows Annie. Apparently this beach makes a noise (whistle?) as you walk over the sands because of the precise size and consistency of the grains – but it didn't happen for us.
