After the sea kayaking Jenny and I spent some time with Ben, Claire, Thomas, Sophie and hundreds of holiday makers on the long sandy beach at Woolacombe, North Devon. We did all the things that holiday makers do - playing ball games, eating ice creams and building sand castles. Then, as our family has done many times in the past, we tried to delay the progress of the incoming tide by digging a system of trenches and using the sand to build fortifications, topped with drift wood sticks. The photos show the beach, Sophie and Thomas digging, our "fort" holding back the tide temporarily and a couple of "big boy" diggers. Then it was time for dinner and an overnight stay at the Devon home of Claire's parents - many thanks to them for offering us a bed - we were too tired to drive home.
