It is always a pleasure to be able to spend time with my Little Explosions and especially so when it is their birthday. Storm Eowyn died down in time for our drive north and we had a problem free journey, arriving in time for lunch. As the sun came out, though still chilly, we wrapped up warm and went for a walk along the beach. Little Explosion decided to emulate Rousay dog who likes digging in the sand. I guess those mittens are going for the wash!
LE also remembered that the last time I took her for a walk on the beach we made some art by arranging stones into a pattern. On this occasion we left some very modern instalations for other beach walkers to admire and interpret. She was less impressed with my ‘treasure’ find, a red pebble with white dots on it, and I had to chase her to get it back before it was to be thrown into the sea! Apparently, big stones = make art, pebbles = throw in sea.
In the evening we went to a local hostelry for dinner which consisted of some delicious small plates with local produce – the black pudding and scallop wellingtons were excedingly yum – although the plat du jour for 3-year olds was chips followed by large helpings of chocolate cake. Always have a small friend to share chips and chocolate cake with, even when the menu has so many delicious choices! Happy Third Birthday from Baba.
