beach day










For some a day on the beach translates into sun, sea and sunscreen lotion. With cocktails. For me its warm waterproof jacket, wellies, hand gloves, wollen scarf and doggie stuff which ranges form poo bags and poo scooper to extendable leash and harness.









Newburgh or Forvie beach as its locally known is a popular place for seal spotting. During low tide, on a clear day you could see hundreds of seals sunning themselves in the warm sunlight. Of course the wind is at xtimes mph, but if you are bundled up enough and a dog person then maybe just maybe you would be willing to rough it up once in a while. 








In the beginning I used to feel a bit ambivalent about spending weekends on what I saw as natures pursuits. Ideally for me a weekend signalled brunch, followed by a movie. Or a good mall trawl followed by coffee. The idea is to sit smug, gloat at your purchases and secretly congratulate self on managing the whole time on most uncomfortable pair of heels. But I think I am slowly warming up to this new kind of weekend outings. Albeit with a bit of red lipstick. I mean you can't get a girl to let go her heels and makeup at the same time do you?
