Our Travel Adventures: 16th Dec, Dippy dog, wedding day blues and the beach, Cleveland.

Well after yesterdays little fiasco round the park, we thought we'd find a beach for the mutt to have a run on, the dog might get wet, but at least we wont have to put up with the smell. Its like taking a baby out, we've got to pack for it, lead, harness, bowl, ball and five gallon of water in case she finds another pond.

We end up at Masthead Beach, Cleveland , about thirty k from the house and finally find a small beach where dogs can roam off the lead. Kira don't muck about, across the beach and into the water, the mutts just like a kid and yer can see she's really enjoying herself, I'm just glad she came out when we called, Lin wouldn't have been to happy if I'd had to throw her in to get the dog out.

As luck would have it, we just happened to pass a market on the way in and Lin thinks its a good idea to have a wander. After parking the Ute, the three of us head on in only to find a bloody great sign saying "no dogs and no smoking in the market". Lin's not gonna be put off so me and the dog walk round the outside, while Lin walks down the middle, I'm not to sure who got the better deal, even if I did have to hang on with two hands to keep the dog out of the fountain....haha (the mutts just plain nuts over water).

Its Sunday and we've had a good morning out, but Sunday just ain't Sunday without a roast, so we head on back to the house to end the day with one of the best chicken dinners I've made since we've been out here.
