We went to a beach we hadn't been to before near Hundested yesterday afternoon, there are plenty choose from here after all! The sun appears to have been listening to my previous plea, and having given in, blessed us with a fabulous afternoon of warm and sunny weather, and where best to spend it?
Within minutes The Six Year Old had presented me with this tiny starfish (I appear to be encountering another "unintentional theme" at the moment - this time it's obviously "Small Creatures"!), which as it happened to be her favourite colour, made it all the more intriguing! We inspected it carefully and placed it back in the rock pool where it was found...
Small boy, armed with a bucket and net (and having forgiven me for making him wear his pants on the beach as I had forgotten his trunks!), happily spent a couple of hours fishing in the same shrimp filled pools!
Thank you sun, it was so nice to see you! If you can manage a bit more I would be so grateful? Just until school starts again and then you can do what you like!

yes! doesn't the sun help spend the day better?! it's just so much easier being out and about. all my little girl needs is a magnifying glass, and labybirds on leaves :)
ReplyDeletelove the last photograph! watermelon on the beach, under the sun - that's my kind of day for sure.
that actually looks more like a sweet than a starfish, its lovely.... in a starfish kinda way..
ReplyDeleteThanks Pia, it really helps doesn't it? Best place to eat watermelon too, as long as you don't touch the sand while you are eating it! Emma :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Frankie. Had it been handed to me by someone else, I could have mistaken it for a haribo... Starfish sashimi, mmmmm!
Lovely beach - we must investigate the Dutch beaches a bit more.
ReplyDeleteYou must, I have very fond memories of them from my childhood! Emma :)
