It will come as no surprise to bloggees, that Clever Bird spoke too soon yesterday. Baggy woke up this morning and Hormonal Hannah was all over her. Baggy didn't want to get dressed, let alone go out. Grotty did want to see the horses, but she didn't want to go on her own and Calum's chest infection really wouldn't be helped by all the dust and hay. Furry Mama knew that she needed to walk Minty Mutt though, so Clever Bird persuaded her to take Baggy and him to Clacton-on-Sea for a change of scenery and a bit of sea air. Baggy loves the sea and has always had a yearning to live on a seafront, so it was good motivation to get Hannah off Baggy's back. It's only a thirty-minute drive, so Clever Bird insisted that it would be worth it. She was right, Baggy managed to leave Hormonal Hannah at home!
They did have to walk the full length of the promenade before Minty was allowed on a beach, as most of the beach is a dog-free zone, but it blew the cobwebs away.
Baggy felt much better for Furry Mama's efforts and Minty enjoyed a paddle.
Clever Bird was rather surprised how quiet Clacton was, especially away from the pier end of the beach! Many of the cafés and bars were closed - maybe they open when the school holidays start, but Baggy preferred it that way. She treated herself to an "all-day" breakfast and gave Minty Mutt the bacon fat, before heading back along the prom. towards home - resisting the doughnuts, ice-creams and candy floss she passed! It is after all Fat Club tomorrow.........
