Dog walking

Yesterday we met Andy and Amanda with their 2 dogs Max and Millie at a rather gloomy Lee-on-Solent.  We are trying to make sure their dogs and Lucy get on as we are planning a short break together and don't want a 'dog eat dog' situation!  They all got on fine and thoroughly enjoyed a romp on the beach.  One thing that caused a little amusement was how I nearly got stuck in the sand a few times as I sank in rather more than usual......hopefully not due to any weight gain!  We visit this beach from time to time and I have never seen so much soft, 'sinkable-into' sand before...odd.  I must try to find out what causes this.


We finally retired to sit outside the Fisherman's Rest at Titchfield.  That brought back some nice memories as, in the 1980's I worked at Plessey and used to play tennis with my work colleagues just up the road from this pub.  Those were great times.

  1. Doesn't sinking sand have something to do with water rising through the sand to the surface...? I'm sure I read about it somewhere! Look forward to the pictures - did Rod leap to the rescue??
