A Splashy Crashy visit to Lannacombe

Sunday night was blustery, with heavy showers and even a rumble or two of thunder – nearly drowning out the sound of canine snoring coming from the slumbering Newfies safely snuggled into their nice comfy beds.  Monday morning dawned bright and breezy, and the tide was low – the perfect opportunity for a visit to one of our favourite beaches – Lannacombe.  When we arrived the surf was definitely up …

“Pfff!” snorted the Newfies – “A few crashy splashy waves won’t stop us swimming – nothing stops us Newfies you know!”  And so in they marched …..

Wearing very determined expressions upon their furry faces.  Only to discover (as Daisy nearly disappeared beneath the foam) that perhaps the waves were rather larger and more violent than they had realised…….

And so, pretending that nothing was amiss and they’d simply changed their minds,  they retreated to the safety of the sandy beach where I was busy taking artistic photos of the reflected clouds …

And in trying to help, Daisy once again nearly disappeared beneath the surface as she discovered a rather deep hollow in the sand.  As they say “there’s always one!” and in our case it’s always Daisy!!

Then there was the chance to potter around the rock pools. … you can never be sure what you’ll discover beneath the seaweed or hiding behind the pebbles.  Not much to see today though, probably sheltering from the storm …

And then Ben had one of his (not very) super-intelligent and good ideas …

“If I keep very still I wonder if Mum will think I am a rock and let me stay here ALL DAY?”  I’m afraid not Mr Benjamin, lots to do at home today!  We’ll visit again soon.
