Beach fun!
A couple of weeks back when it actually wasn’t raining we decided to head up to St. Andrews for some beachy fun with Harry and the kids. We left Midas at home, the excitement might have been too much for him and quite frankly any exercise and he’s wiped for hours if not days afterwards. For those who don’t live in Scotland (apparently we do have visitors to our website from as far a field as Australia, Germany and Croatia, I could try and be smart and say ‘Hi’ in your native lauguage but I would fail miserably, only ever did French at school), St. Andrews has the most perfect beach for dog walking, lots of dunes to hide in and explore.
My current video project at the moment is the footage I took on the beach of the kids and Harry running up and down the dunes . Most of it is very dodgily shot as everyone was moving so fast and let’s be honest I’m no cameraman or editor or director but doing these things at night stops me eating chocolate.
Harry had great fun investigating the water though he rapidly found out that you don’t drink sea water. In fact Harry found out about a lot of things that you don’t do at the beach:
1. Don’t approach big black labradors carrying whole trees in their mouths, no matter how polite you are being they don’t want to share that tree ( seriously, it was huge!)
2. Don’t eat sand
3. Don’t eat wet sand
4. Don’t eat shells
5. Don’t eat seaweed
6. Don’t chase kite surfers (they can chase back!)
7. Lastly, don’t assume that if you are running down a sand dune that you will be able to stop at the bottom.
On the ‘Do’ side:
Do have fun and lots of it!
PS Watch out for the video, promise it will be up soon
