The recent lovely weather has prompted some evening visits to the beach
where Fred decided he was going to "Dig to Australia".
He was quite cross when we announced that we had to go home after our first visit because his hole wasn't big enough
so it really made us laugh when we found this hole
only 20 metres away from where he had been digging
this hole was MUCH closer to Australia!
So last night he started digging again whilst I found a new way to get sand in my socks...............
He then decided to sit down in the sea - in his school uniform - and then thought it was a good idea to ROLL his very wet self in the sand!
And finally he decided to stop digging his hole and start burying himself instead.
Honestly, he's worse than a puppy!
(and just as cute!)

lol. that's boys for you..
ReplyDeleteHe's going to look a right mess going into school tomorrow with all that sand all over him. That'll teach him ;o)
ReplyDeleteSocks are looking good Locket! You just can't beat a bit of beach knitting.
xxx
lol boys and their mud!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun there on the beach.
When he's finished the tunnel to Australia would he let me know please?? I don't really like flying but would like a visit down under!!
ReplyDeletehow lucky you are to be able to pop to the beach for the evening - i wish!!!! lovely pics - as they say, boys will be boys!!!xxx
ReplyDeleteTell him to head for the East coast and I'll be waiting for him !
ReplyDeletehe'll be hungry after all that digging
And I thought you were all just after a cupcake at our blogmeet on the weekend! Dig Fred dig
ReplyDeleteI live in South Australia but couldn't see your little man on the beach this morning. Me thinks a bit more digging is required!!
ReplyDeleteThe beaches in your part of the world are so lovely (but I know from child chasing experience how cold that water is!). Digging is a better option by far.
ReplyDeleteFar cuter than a puppy though!!
ReplyDelete:-D
I don't think I could have coped with all that sand all over him... hose down in the garden? (I know I'm a cruel mother)What a lovely beach though.
ReplyDeletewow, look at the sunshine - it actually looks like summer! Looks like a lot of fun, sandy socks, school uniforms and all!
ReplyDeleteI have a ten year old that would be just the same! there seems to be some genetic urge to dig.
ReplyDeleteTell him I thought I noticed a bit of a mound in my garden this morning! How funny as a child in Australia I always dug to China.
ReplyDeleteHow clever of Fred to dig a passage to Australia just in time for Jodie's blogmeet (with no ax murderers). Will that white shirt ever be the same?? If not, a fun time at the beach is worth a shirt or two. When do summer holidays start? By next term he'll have outgrown that shirt anyway. :>}
ReplyDeleteNext week I'll be knitting socks at the beach, too!
Oohh... he was so close to being in Australia... ;) Did you get his uniform clean??
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny to read Lucy, when we were small ,here in sunny Australia, my mother would pack up us 4 girls and a few strays and take of to the beach in a big orange tent, for 6 weeks, Dad would take a fortnight off work and come for a while, and all the time he was there, we dug holes to CHINA!! Endless days of digging and burying Dad! -at least it stopped his feet getting sunburnt!
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why he wants to leave to go to australia anyway . . . it's lovely at your house!!
