We returned to Withernsea for the annual Carnival, and like last year it was great fun; the lighthouse gardens are a beautiful setting and the wonderful family atmosphere made it a joy to be involved. Polite and extremely patient children queued throughout the day for the chance to do the business with a mallet and chisel, and it was a pleasure to see the enjoyment the few minutes carving brought to the participants and their families.<\/p>\n
Last year everyone chipped away at a design of the lighthouse, and it was nice to see the reactions of the children who had contributed to the carving when they spotted it in the flower bed.<\/p>\n
This time I thought a nice design would be a seagull, although I’m afraid to say there was some debate through the day as to whether it was more like a duck. At least everyone recognised it was a bird, so my drawing wasn’t that bad!<\/p>\n Abigail, Emilie and Emma showing their skills……<\/p>\n Finley, back for the second year, and doing a great job.<\/p>\n![\"withernsea-lighthouse-withernsea-carnival\"](\"http:\/\/stichler.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/withernsea-lighthouse-withernsea-carnival.jpg\")
