No, that would be rude ;-) I remember having a similar whim some years ago, the difference being that for us it is a three hour drive to get to the nearest place to see the sea. it was bitterly cold and the sea was so far out we didn't even get a glimpse!! <br /><br />OB and friend definitely had a good idea with the warming snack and Snippet seemed to be having a good time. Great gull photos.<br /><br />I had to laugh about Daisy bringing the gatecrashers :-) ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-47408778186143076382013-04-02T14:17:04.335+01:002013-04-02T14:17:04.335+01:00Bitter here too.
