the clam after the storm
it was pouring with rain all weekend so we spent amost the whole time indoors trying to entertain the kids. then,unexpectedly, the sun came out late on sunday afternoon. we grabbed our beach gear,jumped intothe car and headed down to the bay. when we got there, we realised that everyone had had the same idea! the beach was packed. but everyone was staring out to sea and picking stuff up off the sand. Ellie, Louis and Oscar rushed down to the water's edge,full of excitement. it turned out that a ship had lost its cargo in saturday's strom. five containers of Nike trainers had washed up on the beach! Everyone was clutching odd shoes, looking for the other one to make a pair! what a strange end to the weekend!
