On the beach with A

Portobello today for sandcastles and sunshine but not swimming because I am scared of the water. Don't ask me why - I have just decided that I do not like it. Mummy really wanted me to go in because Baby wanted to go in and she did not want me to be on my own, but I kept running away. Eventually we compromised on her carrying me into the water, but then she wanted me to walk on the wet sand, and that was not part of the deal. Anyway, I had fun collecting shells and playing with sand, then it was time for Baby's nap, so we wrapped up (by this time it had got a wee bit chilly) and walked till he fell asleep and it was time for ice cream. Unfortunately it had just started to rain. I have never seen Mummy move so fast. I scooted and she ran to the cafe. We still had to queue for ages, but eventually we got a table. We had a nice meal with pots of hummus and things (one too spicy), then ice cream and also Z and A arrived, so we all had ice cream, then went onto the beach to play again. By this point it was freezing so Baby clung to Mummy while Z, who is a real Scottish girl, clung to her Mummy but wearing her bathers. Even I did not mind not being naked. Eventually we gave up on ever getting Baby warmed up and went home to Daddy, dinner, bath (full of sand!) and bed.
