It’s not that the seas around Britain are so very, very cold it’s just that…

OK it is.

It’s because they’re bloody cold.

Funny though how small children are completely oblivious to cold water. You see, they have no hang-ups about getting their bums wet.

Probably they’re used to having a wet bum.

But still with the promise of warmer weather, (although really who in all honesty believes the weather men?) now is the time to put away adult inhibitions and head for the nearest patch of sand.

	Everyone is down there. Mad dogs who just love getting wet – although not nearly as much as they love shaking themselves dry again, standing as close as possible to the nearest somnolent human.
Horses down on the sand.

Remember sandcastles?
	and beach ball?

An then at the end of the day, to wander along the shore, to look at the fishing boats and the first flash of the lighthouse at dusk.
	It’s what summer is for.
