Mum only had a limited time off work so today we visited Old Rufford Hall. Unfortunately as I arrived I realized that my camera battery had died so we had no opportunity to take any photos. We stopped there for lunch and returned home mid-afternoon.

That evening we walked the dogs on the beach. There seems to be no sea here any more! Southport has seen so little sea that much of the sand dunes have actually become covered in grass. A walk on the beach in some areas is nearly identical to a walk in a field. A little sad to see Southport suffer like this although dad is adamant that the sea does come to visit the grassy shores when we are all sleeping.

At the time when Mum was explaining to me that she was happy with the way Bonnie and Tilly behave and how puppies are too difficult to handle both dogs ran straight for an oil slick and got themselves covered in oil.
