Boys on the beach

We thought it would be more fun for Thomas if we took James out of nursery for the day to keep him company at the beach. Mostly they had a good time and ran up and down the dunes, splashed in the sea, dug holes and did what children do at the beach. However James found a beautiful big shell which Thomas asked for, and when he refused to give it to him, Thomas had a sulk. There was a fight over the sledge which ended with Thomas whacking James with it. James got sand in his eye and said he wanted to go back to nursery, and Thomas, after falling down, said he was never coming to our house again. Oh dear. I think they had fun the rest of the time.

There were few people on the beach. Apart from dog poo on the path to the dunes, I found an abandoned BBQ which we lugged back to the car with the rest of the stuff, including a bag of sea coal James collected, plus the precious shell. Oh and a feather also deemed to be precious.
