Sand and Seagulls was formed in July 2013 by Zoe Payne. I have lived by the seaside all my life and so have a real love of the beach. So much so, in August 2010 when I got married we had a seaside themed wedding with all things beachy from a VW camper to a fish & chips evening buffet!

When Rudy, my eldest son, came along in December 2012 this gave me the opportunity and idea (in-between naps and nappy changes!) to get creative again. In the evenings after work my husband Ash learnt how to make a website, so we put our new found skills together and created Sand and Seagulls. Why Sand and Seagulls? – Because they’re the things I love about the seaside, and Rudy shares this too as he loves to watch the seagulls!

Now on maternity leave again with the latest addition to our family, Felix, who knows what the future may hold.
