My dad always used to say this phrase at the dinner table on Sundays- as well as any day it was sunny. As a result now beach visits and sit down dinners always trigger it repeating in my head. I only learned this year that it was from some advertising campaign in the 80s that I'd never heard of and not one of his own made-up whims. To me, it's a sentence associated with the seaside and fun - just like ice creams remind us of sunny summers and sugar highs from our childhood.
I am an illustrator from Bettystown, Ireland currently travelling in New Zealand - will be home to Ireland end of August 2018. I love to make hand lettering and illustrate light-hearted, whimsical & silly scenes from day to day life or from memory.
