While summer is on its way the thermometer still hasn’t gone much above 25 but the still calm days are here, so it we went for a play on the beach this afternoon:

We picked up Chloe from next door and their dog Cruiso, and off we went:

In case you were wondering what Elseya and Chloe were on/in, the tricycle is obvious but the trailer is in fact a dog bed we made into a buggy today that has been a source of much fun:

I took down my snorkel mask and decided that I would head out to see what there may be to see in the sea:

In addition to the waving weed there were many hidden gems in the rocks such as this sea urchin:

There were also many types of weed such as this cabbage leaf, made even more pretty by the light that gave everything an autumn feel:

There were some fish about, not many in numbers or variety except for one period when I found myself surrounded:

They didn’t seem to mind me duck diving and swimming alongside them, so I was pretty happy with my first snorkel of the summer:

While I spent a lot of time underwater Lisa, kids and dogs were having a lovely time of it splashing in the shallows and lounging on the beach.
