The magic of blue

Poppydog and I got onto the shore by the house for our walk. Underfoot it becomes very clear that this is lugworm territory, a cross between sand and mud and prime foraging for waders. Pd did her best impression of a floundering hippo in the shallow water - she loves splashing so much, but we're unlikely to be doing the non-weightbearing swimming that would be so useful (I'm afraid I ain't going in that stuff!). She rinsed off beautifully in the long grass on our return journey :-)

The ladies from Westray GC were over in The Hope today to contest a very important trophy. We won. Aside from that, the golf was more about searching for lost balls and enjoying the mighty fine weather.
