A photo a day, every day, for a year! This is my post for the year 2021 Week 35. It has been an exhausting week for us all. We were tired from our Disney Magic at Sea cruise. I had a busy week at work. We went octopus hunting following the Octopus Ahoy! art trail. And Little E went back to school. We are keeping everything crossed there is no home learning this school year.
Project 365 – 2021 Week 35
Day 240
There wasn’t much merchandise available on the Disney Magic. We were able to buy this rainbow mug. I got the Mickey Mouse version earlier in the year but this one is much bigger. I have had one cup of tea in it but it is really too big. The mug now has a home in our Disney cabinet.
Day 241
We started the Octopus Ahoy! art trail today. This was Alien we found him in Jaywick. The art trail comes with an app that lets you scan the QC code on each octopus base. There are 30 to collect. We found 29 in four days, missing out on the last one as his home is in Liverpool Street station.
Day 242
Darren drove us to Harwich tonight to continue our octopus hunt. We found Octopuss In Boots at the Harwich Redoubt Fort. I knew this one would be one of Little E’s favourites.
Day 243
Our next stops for collecting the octopuses was Walton-on-the-Naze and Frinton-on-Sea. Facebook Felines was always going to be another one of Little E’s favourites. This one had lots of different cats painted on it.
Day 244
Our last day of octopus hunting to collect all 29 that have been placed in the Tendering District. We only had to collect the ones left in Clacton town centre. I love Keef at Clacton Station. It was for our heroes of covid and had an amazing painting of Captain Sir Thomas Moore on it.
Day 245
Time for Little E to go back to school. Starting year three with a new uniform a couple of ages too big. I wonder how quickly she will grow out of it!
Day 246
Little E came home with this lighthouse picture frame today. Her teacher from year two made them for all the children. I thought this was a lovely keepsake for them all.
That was our 2021 Week 35 adventure. You can read about our weeks 31, 32, 33 and 34 here.
It looks like you have had a really fun week. I love that mug! So pretty and all the octopusses are fantastic. I love the Captain Tom one. What a lovely tribute.
Little E looks very smart for school. My youngest has gone off to school in a uniform which is massive on her, the blazer especially. lol
The frame is indeed a lovely keepsake. The octopi are very cute, I especially like the one with Captain Tom on it.
The octopus trail looks fun. We’ve not been near any this year but maybe for one of next year’s we’ll get there. Hope starting back at school works out well for them both
I hope back to school went well. Love the Octopus trail, we have Elephants in Worcester which we took our granddaughter to see.
The Octopus Ahoy! trail looks like it was fun – I love the alien one and Octopuss in Boots. Little E looks very smart in her new uniform even if it is a little big. Sophie’s is the same – better to have room to grow though! Love the lighthouse picture frame. #project365
Seems odd there wasn’t much merchandise you would have thought that they would want everyone to buy things. Love the idea of the Octopus trail and so cleverly done with all that detail.
Well done on spotting all of the octopus statues and I hope you enjoyed exploring in your search for them. Hope the start to the school year was smooth and what a lovely memento! #project365
