First on our list today was a quick poddle around Beer. Isla walked the whole way while holding hands and protested vehemently if she had to be carried across the road! We picked up a couple of tubs of prepared crab from the harbour for tea and then continued on our way for a lunch stop.
We went to a lovely place called Branscombe on the South Coast as we have several times before. It truly is a lovely little place with a steep pebble beach and fantastic views across the channel. We had a lovely lunch in the Masons Arms (which I can highly recommend - but it gets very busy so go early) then headed to the beach. There is a little ford crossing the road which Finn has played in many times before. Sometimes in the summer in sandals or today in wellies. Unfortunately it all ended pretty swiftly when he slipped on the algae covering the road underneath the water and landed smartly on his behind. He did raise a gasp from the other occupants and exited the very cold water pretty quickly after that. Thankfully I had packed a full change of clothes for just such an occasion as this had happened before. Fresh clothes and then playing on the beach while Isla had a snooze.
So very tired but happy we wound our way home for a yummy tea of crab, fresh bread and cucumber. Would Finn try it...? Would he heck. I am left pondering - how am I going to get crab boy if he won't eat crab?
