Message in a Bottle

We have had new floors laid at Redmoss over the last fortnight which has meant John and I have had to make ourselves scarce.  We spent most sunny afternoons watching the seals on the rocks at low tide at Portgordon beach.  On Thursday, John found a plastic bottle on the shingle and inside was a pencil written note.  The letter was from 8 year old Igor from Central Primary School, Peterhead - about 60 miles east, along the Moray Firth.  He had put it in the water on 26th June this year.  John is writing back to him at the school  to let him know he found his bottle and how far it had travelled.

CD Sunday challenge this week is to have a nautical theme so I could hardly resist using this Joanna Sheen Messy Rabbit stamp of the unfortunate bunny having to row for his life out in the ocean and including Igor's message in a bottle.  The backing paper is from Pattern Resource CD Nature and the sentiment is from TLC .

Thank you for visiting and please feel free to leave a comment.  I enjoy keeping in touch.

  4. Hi Janet, this is great and I don't think I've seen this stamp. Love what you have done with it, including the message n a bottle. Good for John to write to the boy who put his message in a bottle, it will be fun for him. Thanks for joining us again at CD Sunday.
