It was so lovely to be able to get out onto the beach early this morning. No frost nor ice so we didn't have to wait for the gritter to come up the road so that we could get down our hill. It was damp and dreich but that didn't matter. Poppy met 3 of her best friends, Sam, Selkie and Bobbie Bob so she was more than happy. Bud was just happy as he always is.
