JUST FOR FUN: FANCY GOING TO THE BEACH

84 Replies

HI EVERYONE :)

I thought we could all do with a bit of cheering up so let's have a day out at the beach.

We could build castles in the sand or draw pictures instead using things that we find lying about. like our own 'Art Attack' perhaps!! :D

Come on! Let's get the picnic hampers filled, grab your cozzies or wet-suits and let's go have some fun.

As the Fluffmeister Extroadinnaire I can ensure all fluffies shall behave and on watch for 'EC's', the unmentionables :P

Let Easter begin early :D

It's up to you what you choose to do................. how would you spend your day?

Happy sunshiny fluffies to you all

:) xxxsianxxx :)

Oh blow

I have a prior appointment that cannot not be moved.

Have fun.

Will look forward to reading about the fun.

X put sun cream on. It's too early in the season to become a lobster. And don't forget the sun hat.

in reply to nedd

Aw! that's a shame nedd :(

.................maybe we'll till be here when you get back :)

I am sporting a proppelor hat for coolness.............

.....................no! it doesn't look cool :o but it will keep me cool and prevent cooking :D

Oh yes please :-) :-) can it be a doglet friendly beach though (hardly any of the ones down here are :-( ) It's strange you mention the EC's as Poppie has been muttering under her breath about them and I thought it was just her being silly (as doglets who wear pink polka dot bikinis to sunbathe in are ;-) )

Now, as to what to do, well again, that depends, I take it you being the Fluffmeister Extroadinnaire will have organised the weather and the temperature to suit us all, so I will lie in the sun (with sun cream on of course) and let the warmth get through to my bones and lap up all the Vit D I can, then I might toddle off and do a spot of rock pooling, then go and have a lovely swim in the sea (which you MUST have made sure is tepid for us all :d ) then back to the beach to organise a sandcastle to beat all sandcastles. But of course I will join in with whatever fun is transpiring along the way .........

Perhaps you could lead us through one of your wonderful relaxation methods too, much easier when you don't have to keep picking up the iPad to remind yourself what you're meant to be thinking about ........ Lalala that's probably just me being very thick indeed.

I do hope Mr Badger will join us at some point, maybe he could bring along a miniature railway to give us rides on along the beach.

How I wish dear Haribo was with us, now we don't have to hide all the curly wurlys, it's taken the novelty out of them, I bought stacks to tempt her with, now to no avail, hopefully she will resurface one day and I can give them to her :-)

Oh and I've booked a Mr Whippy van to be at our disposal, but he is a very very high class one who will make us the most wonderful sundaes that we can ever want........... what would your choice be ?? :-)

Foggy x

in reply to Fibrofoggiest

Oooooooooh! Mr Whippy yes yes yes Yippee! :P :P :P

Of the course the doglets are welcome and yes the weather is 'perfick' :D

There's loungers with brollies and loungers without

Buckets and spades for mucking about

Run run as hard as you might

.................you are going to fly that kite

Beach balls, board games :o and sand buggies

super soft fluffies for all those huggies :P

See you there :D xxx

wildwoman in reply to

Ooh me too please, what a good idea! I,m bringing cossies, flippers and snorkel, my two doglets so they can play with the others. When I,ve found my sun cream, I,ll be there, will u put some sort of flag on the beach so I can find you? Shall I bring some pimms? Xxxx

Fibrofoggiest profile image
Fibrofoggiest in reply to wildwoman

Oh MY word did I hear the word "Pimms". ( says Foggy hurtling (haha) to wherever wildwoman is with her Pimms). I'll bring mint and fruit and lots of strawberries and Mr Whippy has agreed to let us have copious quantities of crushed ice for our Pimms, I'll bring a second bottle and lemonade just for reinforcement :-)

Oh happy day......the sun has got his hat on hip hip hooray :-) :-)

in reply to Fibrofoggiest

Mohito's I'll bring the white rum and some peppermint leaves and zesty limes.

Awfully nice of Mr Whippy to keep ice on tap for us too :D

Hi foggy, I would give a lot to see you hurtle! I,ve been slowed up a bit cos I went back for the bathing machine, so we could all step into the water with decorum! Ooooh I see you all now, I hope that,s not fluffies toasting marshmallows, I can smell burning, or has some one forgotten the sun cream? Btw, where,s Ken, he should be hauling the biscuit tin! Xxx

NO! NEVER. Ken has factor 5000 you know., or he turns to dust. I think he's at a Bourbonaholics Anonymous meeting.

(See Ken, I told you I'd get it in somewhere :P )

Bourbonaholics went well. I had to sit there in a group of people and say:

'I have a problem, I can't stop myself! I just keep eating Bourbon creams and I feel so good about myself!'

TheAuthor in reply to wildwoman

I have had some lovely homemade choc cookies today! They were delicious! Ooh! Good evening, I am forgetting my manners. Had one of those, if it can go wrong kind of days. I am now awaiting for a replacement mobile phone and for my pain killers to work as I fell over again.

How are you my friend?

Ken x

fenbadger in reply to TheAuthor

is falling over and needing a new phone related? :P

TheAuthor profile image
TheAuthor in reply to fenbadger

Yeah of course! I fell over because of the daylight and then needed emergency Bourbons to revive me?

in reply to wildwoman

Just follow the noise :D

Or look for the the sign in the sand which says 'fluffies woz ere' then a little further up 'fluffies R ere' They get marshmallows instead of choc flake in their ice-creams and raspberry sauce :D

I actually did this for real.Buster decided he wanted to walk to Berwick today and we ended up on the mud flats of the river where they picked up an old football .thought I might find something interesting but nothign.then onto the beach chasing after rabbits on the dunes and having a good run with no other dogs in sight.the whole beach to ourselves.amazing views over the river and .beyond to the Farne islands and northumberland coast and over the town .swans,,oyster catchers,ducks.gulls and terns amongst other birds

Fibrofoggiest in reply to anbuma

Wow that must have been lovely, Mr Benjamin would have loved the rabbit hunt, the most he could come up with today is a mole hole, and not a very big one. It sounds like a lovely lovely walk for you :-)

in reply to Fibrofoggiest

Pretend walks only for us, as neither me or the dog are fit to walk anywhere. I'd love a little remission. Sprocket will virtual hurtle to wildwoman with you x

anbuma in reply to Fibrofoggiest

actual rabbit was just a few feet away from her.it froze as rabbits do and luckily she came away.there are a few resident swans that never leave and in the summer there can be up to 700 swans.starting to arrive now and its great when lucky enough to see them flying in.

in reply to anbuma

It's lovely area which I love to visit whenever I get the chance to. I like to go to Craster for kippers :)

Sounds like a beautiful morning to me, heavenly :)

sounds lovely, how nice to be able to spend a bit of your day like that. I love the shore :)

anbuma profile image
anbuma in reply to hamble99b

yes it was lovely and especially as the dogs get tired and I can have some peace when i get home which will only last a couple of hours before they are up and wanting food in the garden.needed to stop and rest at least twice -sat on some rocks whilst they ran around.downside is I cant walk back from town -all uphill and in legs painful barely walk -catch the bus home,then "dead"for the rest of the morning at least.when i had my Max-god rest his soul-(profile pic) and in fitter days used to sit on the promenade watching the sun come up.

Remember you can eat and drink whatever you like as here in virtual play land it is all free of the naughtiness :P

If you look out the winder and see them thar hills,

hamble99b

can I just add a note -

the sign saying "lets all go hunt the pirate" states that it will take approximately 75 minutes.

as we are all unable to join in and march around cheering, boo-ing and shouting "avast behind" and "ahoy", the pirate can be found behind the ice cream stall 10 mins before the end - or now, minus eyepatch, having a pint at the ye olde fish n finger inn!

in reply to hamble99b

Pirate Hunt................ does it involve Cap'n Jack? :D

Where's me wenchy gear? and barrel of rum?

:O

hamble99b profile image
hamble99b in reply to

do you think if it was, I'd have told anyone where to find him?

Good point! it may have been a ruse madam 'amble :)

Hehehe. When I went to that Doctor Who convention (other sci fi invited) I went outside to look at the car from "Back to the Future" and there was Darth Vader and a cyberman with helmets off, having a fag break. :D
