Beach Life

It seemed a good idea at the time, post lunch we took our families down onto the beach for a run around and play in the sand, except that the tide was in and there was hardly any space to play, the babies needed fed, the oldest ones found old drinks cans which they decided to fill with sand and lob around, the middle boys got their feet and legs soaked by paddling just a little too deep and it was pretty baltic.

Still, it was fabulous to catch up with the Americans again, just back from their quick European jaunt. I really miss that family. Can't believe we have arranged to be away for the whole three weeks that they are hanging around here. Not good timing on our part.
