The Penmon lighthouse nearby sounds its melancholy fog bell every 30 seconds, an atmospheric soundtrack to a stroll along the award-winning pebble beach with its potential for porpoise and seal spotting.

A short walk down the toll road (free for pedestrians) leads to the 13th-century Penmon Priory and holy well dedicated to Saint Seiriol, and an Elizabethan dovecote, all ancient, arcane and architecturally interesting. • For a longer stay, check into the Old Coastguard House; sleeps six from £895 a week in summer Lizard Point, Cornwall Rye Harbour, East Sussex.

Chain Friendship Bracelets. With the weather warming up, all I want to do is make summery bracelets – for myself and all of my friends.

Chain Friendship Bracelets

For the past few weeks I’ve been playing with rope and chain in attempt to make the “perfect” friendship bracelet, and I think that these come close. They are fun and easy to make, though it takes a bit of practice and patience at first. Over the weekend, I made several – and the whole family was infatuated. My mom + sisters got involved, and now we’re all rocking an arm party. Give it a try. What you’ll need: 6 pieces of embroidery floss, cut to 30″ each.2 pieces of chain (I used rose gold,) cut to 4.5″ each.

The first step is to knot the six pieces of floss together at the top. When you finish braiding, tie another knot. Next, separate the floss into two bunches of three strands. Begin by weaving the first link of both pieces of chain onto your floss. Rajasthan International Folk Festival 2013.
