What a difference a day makes!! Yesterday the beach was crowded with people walking their children and their dogs. Some large groups playing rounders. Such a lovely scene on Christmas morning!! Here is my sister Barbara in the blue coat walking the boys. They are both on the lead as she is too nervous to let them off. I was still drying my hair and the dogs just couldn't wait to get on the beach. I watched them from the garden.
The beach is almost empty now as I load this image - one mad person with his dog braving the elements!! My nephew is driving down to join us today for a couple of days and Sophie is coming with him. Their mad dog Harvey - The Destroyer is coming too and we have had to take all of the boys toys and hide them as he will decapitate them in about 5 minutes!!
@janiskay at this time of the year dogs are allowed on most beaches. In summer some beaches do restrict access for dogs. Instow is dog friendly all year which is why it is so popular with us dog owners! Everyone picks up after their dog on this beach - it is a very clean beach which gets cleaned by the high tide every day. In summer a tractor also cleans the back of the beach of any seaweed . Plenty of bins along the back of the beach for dog waste. Sadly on some beaches and also parks dog owners are not so careful!
