To The Beach

We finally made it down from the mountains to the sea - the weather having turned for the better, and the first thing you do when you get to the beach is…..

Get your brother and sister to pick up all the heavy stones and bring them to you… Yes its sand castle building time.

I think this is more of a sand castle excavation than real sand castle…

Meanwhile Ben plays with the kite - being truely patriotic as well.

With the tide rapidly coming in we move along the beach to the ‘white rock’ - hence the name of White Rock.

Jessica of course scampered up it with ease leaving poor Aaron and Ben in her wake unable to summit - about which she was very proud. Can’t you see her at the top.

She beat not just Ben and Aaron but a load of passing teenagers too.

After we managed to get her down - Jess wanted to stay up there - we walked along the pier and saw how big / small it really was.

And its painted white too so we are reliably informed by ‘rockie’.

Next up we had another fantastic fish and chips meal. If only we could buy them in India - dream on. Aaron followed this up with his trademark MCC Ice cream.

Wait for it…. I have to savour it…..

pix

Oh yes!!

Meanwhile Ben and I wait patiently, as Kathy and Jess are off shopping and wait for the next passing train.

pix

Yes it is that close and it is that loud!
