No visit is complete without a trip to the beach.  Our favourite is Sandness beach.

I lugged my big camera with me so I could take nice shots of the dogs, etc.

Pepper met a pack of collies and was a very good girl, if slightly overwhelmed.  There’s a wee dug in there, somewhere.  Eventually everyone split up and went their separate ways.

 

Ted even got his feet wet – a far cry from his Berkshire home with my Mum.  I think he was telling me this!

Pepper was like a small otter running over the seaweed.

 

It was a good walk.

The dogs enjoyed themselves and were thoroughly exercised.

    

And, as promised, this is my new improved muck-heap.  Plenty more room now.
