Day 258 - Sunday 14th September

"If you never did, you should. These things are fun, and fun is good." - Dr. Seuss

Well we have had a lovely day today. Spent the morning with Mum, my brother and his little boy Connor and we went crabbing. I have lived by the seaside all my life and have frequently walked past people who have a bucket beside them full of crabs and other sea life but have never actually tried it before. It was great fun. I was a bit squeamish to start with putting the squid bait onto the hook, but soon got into the swing of things. It is amazing what little creatures were in there. We caught about 6 crabs and various fish and little shrimps.
It was a bit hard work making sure that Zoë didn’t go too near the quay edge but she was fine. I will definitely be doing it again but the next time I will take some reins to keep Zoë on – just in case!
