There are a few beaches that we go to, but one in particular is his favourite, and ours too, because unlike the other beaches, it is sandy. It's also very quiet, with hardly any other people using it, even in the Summer.
We especially like the fact that the beach is quiet because Barley and recall are not very well acquainted. It's a work in progress, but I can't imagine a time when Barley ever comes back to us when we call him. Hehe!
But because there are so few people, and more importantly dogs using our favourite local beach, we can let Barley off his lead to have a good run without worrying too much that he'll get distracted and do a runner. Pun intended.
Anyway, Mr.R drove us to our usual favourite beach a few days ago, and we all had a good time, especially Barley who had a seriously good run.
After we'd all had enough beach time we headed back to the car, then on towards the house, stopping off on the way at another beach.
We stopped at Blackhall Rocks, a beach we'd never been to before.
The weather was very cold, well, it was for us 'Soft Southerners' but we did see one lady walking on the grass above the beach who was wearing a t-shirt as she walked her dog.
Mr.R and me were bundled up in Winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves, and Barley also had a coat on.
It was seriously cold, honest!
We wandered down to the beach, which was deserted, just me, Barley and Mr.R. Lovely!
It's not a sandy beach like our favourite, but covered in stones. Still, it was nice to stroll somewhere different for a change. And Barley had fun sniffing at everything in sight.
Here's a few more of the photos I took of Blackhall Rocks Beach.
And here's a couple of shots I took several months ago, when it was sunny, of Barley on his favourite sandy beach.
We love living by the sea, even if it is the North sea and not the Mediterranean. Hehe!
Do you live by the sea?
Are you a fan of the beach, or do you enjoy walking your dog on the beach?
