Busy Beach!

Went down to the village shop this morning to collect the Guardian and get some messages, another lovely day though not as hot as yesterday. Set off to go down by the barracks to take the wee fellow for a walk, had to turn back as they were working with sheep at the fank. Went along to the beach, couldn't believe what we saw lots of people in a caravan and three tents with at least three dogs, I heard later five! Ruaridh enjoyed playing with one of the three and had a great time. Walked along the beach a lovely day to walk on the shore. On the way back saw that one of the camper vans parked at the beach belonged to our old friends John and Auria who were there with their daughter Caryn. Graham thought it was their camper van on the way down but the tent at the back (for their daughter) put me off. Had a nice chat and good to meet their daughter.
Back home lunch, then I got the second lot of ingredients for cucumber relish ready. Sat outside in my deckchair and read the paper.
Layla telephoned they arrived in Holland OK and were now in their holiday place, Bella was asking for Grandpa and she had a wee chat with him. Layla said all was fine.
The swallows have been amazing today flying all around the house, diving over the deck so many wee birds lovely.
Graham made lovely ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese and covered with a tomato sauce for dinner, with salad and homemade bread, delicious.
Suddenly very tired going to bed. Goodnight.
