Yes Finlay it's a family building sandcastles - in the rain!! A lovely family with young children and they were not going to let a little bit of rain stop the kids having fun!!
Of course us dog walkers don't let the rain stop us either. Behind me in the other direction the beach was full with people walking their dogs. Finlay met lots of new friends. It really is so friendly having a dog - always lots of people to talk to.
Many thanks for your lovely comments on my shots of Mary Jane and Molly. We will be seeing them again tomorrow so I may get a chance for some more photos.
