Tara:

Ooooh Aunties, it woz the bestest walk today!  Dad came too.  Mum took LOTS of pics of me on the summitty things of mountains, and beating up Cato.  Look!!!

This is me on my first mountain of the day.  Mum says I look proper statuesquew.

This is me and Dad on the long mountain range, while Mum and wimpy Cato stayed down on the path.  I ran backward and forwards over and over again, and bounced on Cato every time!  It woz ACE!!!

DSCN4337_zpsndrvpucz.jpg

This is Cato in the dark.  It wozn't really that dark, it is just Mum was pointing the pic into the sun or something.  Anyway, it looks like bedtime, doesn't it?  But it woz just after breakfast.  Haha!

We could see lots of saltmarsh and sea and stuff, but Mum said 'not today' on account of our holiday tomorrow and not getting muddy foots. :(  I mean, I am glad we are going to see Grandma and Grandad, and sniffing their garden and everything.  That is good.  But I am sorry we are having to get shut in our horrible crates in the car for everandeverandever til we get there.  And I am sorry I couldn't get muddy today, or I would have to have another b*th. :(

I mean, look at all that lovely sludgey salty mud...

But we had to stay on the path.  This paw is humungous.  He is a LabrDoodle.  One of the giant ones.  I hid behind Dad.

And we weren't allowed on the trainline either.  Never allowed to any of the fun stuff!

I love my Dad.  And I got up on the bench before him!  I always try and stand on the bit he wants to sit on.  That way he has to move me.  And he loves me even more.

Then we climbed more mountains.  Cato came too with this one.

DSCN4353_zps9ilforaq.jpg

and we met this paw, who was very friendly.  So I stayed up the mountain til they had gone.

Remember the Beach Dens?  They were all shut up.  So we got to sniff them closer today...

DSCN4357%202_zpsg4qj5her.jpg

But first, we all needed some refreshmentreets.

It woz really cold and blowy.  We woz OK cos we have been growing our warm fluffy underknickers for weeks now, and we are low to the ground and out of the wind.  But big tall humans with their heads up in the blowy clouds were whinging cos they hadn't got gloves and hatses.  And they needed a hot drink.  So we went over this mountain of steps, and Dad sat down out of the blowy wind.  And Mum went in and got hot drinks.

DSCN4358_zpsntg9yvy3.jpg

We watched through the window.  Cos the Sausage Lady wouldn't let us come in.  (Mum: that'll be the cafe lady who made the drinks)

DSCN4360_zpskpft5sbf.jpg

Then we started to walk back, and I had a fight with Cato.  This is him grabbing my topknot!!!  The CHEAT!!!

DSCN4364_zpssxqmrwqw.jpg

So I BIT him on the flank!  Haha!  Served him right!

DSCN4366_zpsho4jdiha.jpg

Mum says does anyone know wot these poor trees are?  She says she thinks someone has butchered them.

DSCN4369_zpskhy2fykj.jpg

These are those beach dens wot I woz telling you about.  There are 51 Mum says.  That is a lot, isn't it?

DSCN4370_zpsjjajggez.jpg

Mum went sniffing round the back.  This is a drain thing on the back corner.  They each have one.

DSCN4372_zpsml0aphef.jpg

And this is where one used to be.

DSCN4374_zpsi7y8blpk.jpg

And this is where the water used to come in, and the drain thingy used to go out.  Don't I look cute as a button?  Mum says I do.

DSCN4375_zpsmg9e8qji.jpg

Another Mountain.  I bounced on Cato so much he nearly fell down.  Mum took lots of pics, but they were too blurry to capture all my Ninja moves.

DSCN4378_zps1kvgs34z.jpg

This is where we all went up over the mountain.  And I found a wall to climb on.  Aren't I high?  And Dad nearly slipped on the squelchy grass.  And Dad helped Mum.  And Cato woz a Mummy's Boy, and I got down all by myself, cos I am a Tearaway.  Dad says I am, so it must be true.

DSCN4379_zpsj67lu66j.jpg

I wanted to go down on the beach sooooooo much.  But Mum was mean and said 'No!'

DSCN4382_zpspt1b68qt.jpg

So I just jumped up and down off this wall, instead.

DSCN4384_zpskbbssmhl.jpg

That is the water that comes from the Big Lake.  I wanted to walk along there, but Mum said 'No!' again.   :(

 

DSCN4385_zpsn2hdoeuf.jpg

But I don't really mind, cos I need to save my strength for when we see Grandma and Grandad again.  I am going to bounceandbounceandbounce over and over again, and they are going to give me roast chicken like last time, and Grandma will brush me all evening, and I will go up and down their stairs whenever I like, and visit them in their bedroom if anyone leaves the door open!  Can't wait!!!

Wow what a beautiful part of the world you pups live in! You're very lucky to live near the sea

I like the sign with the miles on it!

And the picture of you looking in the door of the cafe

Yes, Tara, you are absolutely adorable! Looks like a fabulous walk! I'm sorry you couldn't play in the mud.  I know how much you love it!  You will be glad you didn't once you get to see your Grandma and Grandpa! :) 

Great pics Mum! I love them!  I don't know where you are but it is gorgeous!  You always take such great pics!  I really like the one of them staring in the cafe.  Those faces are so expressive! :judy:

Mum:  you will get full guided tour photos - weather permitting.  England is forecast some snow in the next few days, but I have no idea how much, if any, will fall between here and my parents' garden.  The weather forecasters are fluctuating between The End Is Nigh and What Is All The Fuss About?

So heaven knows what will actually happen.  Worst case scenario we will cancel the trip.  Best case, we will have an excellent 5 hour drive in sunlight.

Will have to wait and see. :roflmao:

Oooh I would love to see the garden too..............hope the weather is permitting.

Wonderful walk (as always) I have to say I really liked the bench in the first picture....can you box it up and send it my way.  Was wondering what type of train runs the rails.......the rails look to narrow for a regular train? The picture of Cato and Tara looking in the shop window was priceless.

Yes, it is a tiny little tourist train.  They have closed it down for the winter, but when it is running again I will take a pic of it in action.  It is rather like a tiny real train, or a giant toy train.

Goodness me, you two have been busy. All that mountaineering Tara. Was you worn out? 

And look at your two sweet faces looking through the window. Awwww so sweet. 

The sea really does go out for miles and miles..
