Ruth testing the waters

...and of course, -freezing!

Change of plan today. We didn't visit the Three Little Bells but instead we arranged to meet up with the Callan Gang.
Damian, Ruth and extended family met Donald, Freddie and me at the Tyninghame Beach. A cup of tea made on a fire was to be the main focus along with Christmas cake.
The Boy Scouts of the group found their fire-making skills didn't pay off though, and after a lot of effort the idea was abandoned and the flask of hot chocolate sufficed.
A super walk and Freddie once again found many admirers in the form of dogs big and small, children and adults. He was also a great favourite with the Callan children too.
Yvan spent the whole time with his spade digging to save Britain, he's a human JCB.

Back to a roaring fire and after many debates with Donald about any tragic possibilities in the Archers it now seems that one of Donald's theories may be right and mine went out the window, Helen and baby are fine.
