On the slates

We are on Luing, one of the slate islands. After years of quarrying and exporting slates to all over the world, the 'beaches' are like no other.

Jess and Molly loved the island. They chased each other endlessly around the shoreline and into the water. Molly would go all the way, while Jess would only run in until her belly got wet, then she would turn around.

Twice, at two different beaches, Molly was having so much fun that she refused to come back to the car when we called. She would not even come for a biscuit! We 'got' her eventually by driving away with the car boot open - then she came racing after us, and jumped in quite a relieved bunny!!

(Reminds me of the cartoon showing a farmer's tractor, pulling a trailer with several collies on it. All of these are laughing at another one racing after them - caption:
