Earlier this week we had the hottest day of the summer. One giddy day of wall to wall sunshine and no clouds. Over-excited media broadcasters called it a mini heatwave. It was just one day!

Not that we didn’t get a bit giddy and go for an evening adventure in the camper van and a swim at a different beach to our regular one.

A beach that is only dog friendly after 6pm in the summer.  I suppose we imagined that we might be one of the few on the sand at 6.  Not so at all, it was packed and it was only the long shadows of later on that chased people away.

Cawsand Bay was buzzing with happy people. Yachts and motor boats moored, some playing music as they prepared supper in their galleys. Even the wasp- like jet ski’s  were silently bobbing on the waves just taking in the last heat of a lovely day.

However beautiful this spot is in summer we are far more regular visitors in the winter,when the dogs are welcome all day and we can be comforted by warm clothes and hot drinks. We should do this trip more often on summer evenings.
