An unexpected day at the beach.

 

I was incredibly irritated at work on friday, frantically trying to make a dent in my workload when Mum rang.

“20 degrees and sunny tomorrow, beach?”

Just the thought of it chilled me out. At the beach I relax, I take deeper breaths and smile more.

The boys had to be tucked in quite early on saturday night they ran and ran. They had a play fight for about an hour as well.

So satisfying watching children wear themselves out.

Going…

Going…

Gone.

Then they bizarrely spent about 20 minutes running to and fro the stream with bags filled with water (who needs buckets? we forgot ‘em!) to try and make Minty a water bowl.

Don’t hold your breath Minty, and be very glad that they are not your sole carers.

Not their brightest moment…..as my mum taught me, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all….so moving on.

Ali carried on with scrabbling a diversion in the stream whilst Louis, well Louis had a rest.

Then down to the sea for a few waves. There was an amazing rip, as the smaller waves were peaking they were ripping along so fast your eye could only just keep up with it.

Beautifully busy…

The dark marks in the sand was a mussel bed, some with barnacles on them.

And the sparkly water that finally persuaded me to update my blog!

I love layout fodder
