It's Britain, on the beach - you WILL wrap up and build sandcastles!

It's half term for most schools this week so the beach is quite busy. It doesn't matter that it's cold and windy; it's anoraks and wellies on and carry on as if it's summer. The sand is sprouting sandcastles, elaborate dams are being constructed across the streams, dogs are chasing balls and the intrepid few are in the water , surfing. We had a pleasant walk in the late afternoon sun but declined getting our hands wet and sandy.
