Wed 12th Mar: Bye Bye Beach


Crinkly

810 views

Cato:

We went to the beach again today, on account of it being time to say goodbye.  Cos when the Easter Bunni appears, us paws aren't allowed on the beach any more, until it gets cold and blowy again. :(  (Mum: dogs banned on the tourist main beach from Good Friday til 30th Sept.  But they are still permitted at the North Beach, and The Centre of the Universe beaches).

But it is OK, cos I don't really like the beach that much.  Tara gets bored, and then all she wants to do is Ninja me.  And the sand gets in my eyes, and if you try and wipe it out, it just gets worse and worse...

Mum has started making squeaky noises about flowers again.  Sigh.  So today there were lots and lots and lots of flower pics, and almost none of us.  So I have asked Mum to do this blog, cos... you know... flowers aren't very interesting, are they?

 

Mum:

Cato has gone for a little lie down to digest his breakfast.  And Tara is already asleep, so I will give you the Floral Tour. :roflmao:

Most of the tulips in this flowerbed were already over.  And the daffs.  But these little yellow and burgundy ones were exquisite

and a red and yellow one, nestling in the weeds

lovely to see this tree trained against a West facing wall.  Not sure what it is.  Maybe a cherry?

We were walking from the market place to the beach, through the small park, and there has been a BURST of glorious colour in the last few days.  A riot of spring flowers

of course, the paws were FAR more interested in the grass and the sniffs.

See how short their coats are?  They had a spa day on Monday, and seem to think it is a bit drafty!  But I asked for a summer clip, since they were overheating a lot with all the Ninja action.

more lovely flowers.  The red white and blue combo was stunning, but hasn't really shown up in the pic

The tide was so far in, that we had to say goodbye to the beach from up on the Promenade.  Wasn't worth going down onto the sand.  

Cato is looking forward to more sniffy walks in Bear Woods, now that the mud is drying up.  And Tunnelling.  And of course Tara doesn't care where we go, so long as there is something to climb up.
