At the Beach.

 

^ See the awesome tree stump that washed up? Where did it come from!? ^

On Friday Dixon, Eva and me jumped on a train to visit Dixons parents (and their two boxers) for the weekend. I was so worried about Eva meeting the dogs, it couldn't have gone better. I mean, they chased each other around for hours at first... but after that they got on sooo well. Eva is not scared of anything. On Saturday we went on a huge humid, foggy walk down the River Wear and onto the beach. Everything looked amazing in the fog, the lighthouse, the shipyards and pier. The rain kind of sucked and my feet ached like crazy but I had so much fun. I love the beach, I could spend my whole life there, and having three pups with us made it even better. Seeing Eva swim in the sea was so amazing. We went back the next day too... The weekend definitely tired us all out.

Fathers Day.

This is my Dads book. He gave me it when I was maybe 9 or 10, I think. Its full of the most amazing illustrations. I've mentioned it before but my Dad is the reason that I love and know so much about nature and animals, specifically birds. We used to refer to this book all the time when I saw something I didn't recognise, and I still do that now. There was never any bird my did didn't know everything about. I'd test him, picking a page at random and he never had any problems.

To celebrate my all-knowing Dad, today Dixon and me are hoping on the train back to my home town where we're going for a meal with my parents, my brother and his fiancees, and her parents. Here is to all Dads. Enjoy your day whatever you have planned.
