Beached

Headed down to Eyemouth after Matt and Andy's rugby training today. Wandered round the harbour, the boys tried to find fossils in the rocks, and we decided to stay and have fish & chips for tea.

Afterwards, we noticed some people looking over the sea wall at something - which turned out to be a young seal, stranded high up on the beach.

The guy on the right had got a plastic sheet, and was planning to haul it down to the water's edge - however, the seal was having none of it: so, when it tried to get away (moving at a fair old speed for a seal) the two guys followed it to the sea, guiding it with the plastic sheet.

As it swam away, everyone watching applauded spontaneously! A great end to a great day out.
