"Why can't I go on the beach?"

Every set of steps we pass along the seafront Ginny bounds up them and tries to disappear over the top and gain access to the beach - closed to dogs from May -Sept.  She hasn't lost her tail, just wagging it wildly in anticipation of all the different smells she wants to investigate.  Won't be long and she can re-acquaint with them - mostly rotting molluscs - yuk!
In Extra - lots of blues in the landscape today - heading back in a westerly direction I was walking about the same pace as the incoming tide alongside me - nice feeling. It's going to be a lovely day with a fresh breeze along the East coast coming down from the cool North.  A lovely change from quite a lengthy humid period.
