Making off....

and trying to avoid all the pebbles churned up by the recent storms...

New Toy is in danger of being relegated!

As much as I love New Toy (as no doubt you all know), I found something really really good on the beach

YAY!

 

perhaps I should call him

'Sondico'

(now where did I get that idea from!!!)

There I am, rushing into the sea for one last dip of the day

Blue Flag Beach

To be a Blue Flag Beach, they have to provide toilets - and this is mine

 


and if it hadn't been for the photographer I would have used it!
       

Time to give Dad some exercise...

taken with the Olympus 36x optical Zoom

to give you some idea of the distance

this next photo is where mum was taking the photos 

and the arrow shows how far we were away!

New Toy - On the Sand - Sitting in the Sand

a good time had by ME...

Willow and Bramble

Dad has taken some videos of me playing on the beach with a couple of my friends.  Well, mainly Willow a whippet....you will briefly see Bramble but Willow seems to adore me and always wants to play... so here you are Videos x 4.

   

    

Watch out...

...for the sneaky move, when I stop to Shake!   Somebody sneaks in and steals New Toy before I have officially given it up!!!









  Ummm!  he was pretty quick there.

But did you like how I managed to carry New Toy at the beginning of this clip.

Digging Hamish and more people!

Okay, so Hamish is good at Retrieving.  Now he is good at Digging








Trouble is, he then forgot the Retrieving!    and Look at the next video you'll see more people on the beach...(watch carefully now)

Retrieving

Little Hamish proves to be very useful as he will take New Toy back to dad...


 

 but hey...I can do that too you know...

Oh the daily grind...

....of having to go down on the beach!.....and I even wait politely, instead of charging on down






 

First thing, the beach is almost deserted with only one person in the distance....




      

Board walk to beach

Here I am going down to the beach recently...(before I hurt my leg, which is slowly getting better)

it was a very clear day but cold, brrr...

the best part for me was playing ball.....this next picture you see me patiently waiting....

a quick shake

don't I look good

and I always pose here!

yes, definitely a wonderful walk on the beach

Catch the ball!

Spot the ball

    

It's Mine!

my des res

on the beach

To catch....

 

 

or not to Catch!

 

 

At least Hamish tries

Beach Run with Ed

I've met my friend Ed again on my walk....

and we got to have a run around -

plus this time it got even better

we went down on the beach for a run around

then I showed Ed how to dig holes -

he queued up to take his go...

Ed loved this game

we had a wonderful time

Hopefully we will get to do this again

SOON
