want saaandpit

The usefulness of an entire beach of sand as opposed to the small amount of sand able to be contained in a small back-garden plastic sandpit is that the beach can be played with whilst generally ambling in the direction of the intended lunch-eating location, though it is pleasing that the wingpiglet is perfectly happy just sitting on the sand and poking at it. In the evening we returned and he happily paddled about without complaint in ankle-cooling water whilst we tried to work out whether the huge flock of gulls just out to sea were feeding on a normal dead thing or on a bit of floating dead whale, similar to those recently enjoyed over the other side of the Forth.
