I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside sing-along with exercise.
I've been chatting to my lovely friend, Jackie (you can chat with her too, on Instagram, she's @jacki_nash ) about her wonderful, customised Cornish version of To Skye. She has spent many happy holidays in Cornwall and wanted to add a Dinghy block from Make Sail - the blocks are the same size - and turn the Scottish Tystie into a Cornish Seagull. Easily achieved, just by changing the fabric placement.So when I came to make a sample quilt of To Skye for my Festival of Quilts stand, I just had to
Oh yes, I really do! But before the summer holidays begin, I really must wrap up the teaching year. I promised to post these photos many many weeks ago, so without further ado, here are the amaaaazing seascapes we stitched in class at the beginning of the summer term - some finished, some not quite: Fiona Libby Jan Carole B Kathy Sue Vix Judith Christine detail of Morag's Carole H These last ones were "practice" pieces, for trying out different stitch techniques, but worthy of being framed in their own right! What a fantastic bunch of work - it was a bit of a trial run for my Missenden Abbey Summer School course and my guinea pigs students had to trust me with each step, especially those who didn't work from a photo. Most people ended up using a combination of working from imagination, memory or a photo. I think you'll agree they did a superb job, and every single one of them should be jolly proud of their work! So well done to all the Newick and Fairwarp ladies - see you in September if not before! And if anyone else fancies giving a seascape a go, then there are still places available on my summer school in August. Full details are available here.

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" foiled in jade (dark green) on orange coral patterned paper. 8" x 10"
Does living by the coast make you healthier? The BBC is reporting that ‘People living on the English coast are more likely than those living inland to say they are fit and well, an analysis of census data suggests. ‘The researchers said living in areas such as Skegness, St Ives or Scarborough was linked to a "small, but significant" improvement in health’. The Telegraph has the headline 'The sea air? It really is healthy'. Before we go any further, there is a big difference between feeling well and being healthy. Two different claims are being made, one about quality of life, the other about levels of health. The first is subjective, the second objective and therefore measureable. People taking alternative medicine often report 'feeling better', sometimes through the operation of the placebo effect. But this doesn’t mean that they are better - and, in the case of alt med, this 'feeling' may even be dangerous if it leads to avoiding proper doctors. A notable example of this inconsistency is a study done at Bristol Homeopathic Hospital, which 'found' that 75% of children with asthma 'felt better' after treatment. The flaws in this claim were pointed out by both the BBC and Dr Ben Goldacre. Conditions may also be self-limiting (they would have got better on their own) so external factors like treatment (or where you live) can be irrelevant. Or the condition may be periodic so the patients may be experiencing a period of less intense manifestations after a more extreme one (reversion to norm). Then there is the problem of self-reporting, which is notoriously unreliable. The researchers of the current study analysed data from 48.2 million people in the 2001 England census. As part of the census, people were asked ‘over the last 12 months would you say your health has on the whole been: good, fairly good or not good?’ There is a recognised psychological tendency that if people are asked to think back over a period of time, they will remember the most recent events more strongly as these memories are more salient. So if they are feeling well at the time of the census, they are less likely to focus on episodes of illness early in the year. There is also a tendency that means a long period of illness ending in a short period of wellness will be considered more bearable (and may be reported as better health overall) than a long period of wellness ending in a short period of illness. And how do you accommodate the 'mustn't complain, stiff upper lip' section of the population, the hypochondriacs and the ones who love a good moan? So both self-reporting and 'feeling better' should be ringing alarm bells in the reporting of this story. The study the media are referring to is called ''Does living by the coast improve health and wellbeing?' It was conducted by the European Centre for Environment and Human Health at the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Exeter. The study points out that 'robust evidence of direct, environmentally-induced salutogenic (health promoting) effects is scarce'. The researchers investigated the relationship between people who reported their health as ‘good’ in the 2001 census and how close they lived to the coast. They found that people living under 1km from the sea were 1.13 percentage points more likely to say they were in 'good health' than than people living over 50km from the sea. So it's a pretty small effect even if it is big enough to be statistically significant. One interesting finding was that the effect was stronger in the most deprived areas because living by the sea 'may mitigate some effects of living in a deprived area'. Or because wealthier people generally feel better anyway because they have better diets, living conditions and so on, so living by the sea adds less to their overall quality of life. Or because wealthier people who move to the seaside tend to be old and older people generally have poorer health. The study didn't differentiate between people who had always lived by the sea and those who had moved there or how long they need to be there for the effect to become observable. It noted positive effects of seaside living as 'increased physical activity, stress reduction and positive emotions'. While going for walks on the beach would have a health benefit, the other two effects are subjective and harder to quantify. Although the study says that there is an observed correlation between feeling healthy and mortality rates or the results of health surveys, its results don't definitively support this finding and the conclusion is only that 'coastal communities may have better physical health due to the stress-reducing value of greater leisure time spent near the sea' (my italics). It also concludes that more study is needed. To be fair to the BBC and the Telegraph, the study doesn't always clearly distinguish between health benefits and a general sense of well-being. But it is certainly not the break-through study the headlines suggest. The BBC had a related story in April, reporting that a study of 2,750 people presented to the British Psychological Society examined the effects of different types of outdoor environments on people. It found that in six different age groups the seaside was always identified as being a 'more positive experience' than inland parks or country walks. So there does appear to be a small quality of life benefit to living by the sea, especially if you're poor, but there is still no clear evidence that it is healthier. The answer to the study's title 'Does living by the coast improve health and wellbeing?' is 'health - maybe, wellbeing - probably' - which doesn't make for very good headlines. Living by the sea could be a kind of placebo. Incidentally, nothing on earth would make me move to Weston-Super-Mare.

My recent family trip to the seaside, closely followed by a school trip to the Sea Life Centre in Brighton, put in mind that I should branch out a little from the insects and try my hand at some sea creatures, or maybe I should say beach creatures. The knitting patterns for these sea creatures are available on Ravelry. I have a special offer running on Ravelry, where you can buy any two of my seaside patterns, including my popular spiral shell, and get a £1 discount. I also have a few of my seaside sets for sale for non-knitters in my Etsy Shop. I have a few more sea creatures in the pipeline, which I am still working on. I have tried to photograph them below so that you have to look quite hard I hope to see which are knitted and which are real. I have been working on the patterns for a while, and am pleased with the way they have turned out. The scallop shell can be knitted as one half, or as two and sewn together and stuffed. I thought it might be nice to make into a lavendar bag. Hubby suggested fashioning two shells into a bikini, but soon told him what to do with that idea. Scallops seem to come in a huge variety of colours and patterns, as you can see from the black shell that we found on a beach in Cornwall. So anyone who knits one could really let their imagination go wild. This version of the starfish has a bit of embroidery, but this is optional. As usual I have tried to go for realism. I have put a page on my blog on how to sew a french knot, as I love using this stitch. I seem to use it a lot, and people think it is difficult, so hope I have shown how simple it is. This is the underside, which my son says is where a starfish's mouth is? I have a few more sea creatures in the pipeline, which I am still working on.

Britain’s resorts have been largely left to struggle. But their joys can still be revived
The weather on Saturday was beautiful, unfortunately we had lots of necessary chores to do, but headed to the beach for an hour just before the sun went down. I loved the shadows cast on this boat... I was delighted to discover that after weeks and weeks of just seaweed, the tide had brought in some driftwood - and lots of it! So I've been busy! I usually make quite chunky boats, but the above piece of ply was found with those holes and paint just as pictured - it was crying out to be transformed! I put a little hook on the back so it can be hung on the wall. (This item has sold). The weather obviously put me in a nautical mood! The above cushions are made from lovely thick cotton from Deckchair Stripes - a favourite of mine! I even managed to find time to make a driftwood heart. I would have made a few of these earlier in plenty of time for you know what on 14th Feb but Neptune has been keeping the sticks for himself up to now! Still if anyone wants it, there are a few more days to go! All of the above items are available on Folksy.
