our beach holiday

Have finally got round to blogging yay!
This is our 2 week holiday to Berwick upon tweed in Northumberland.
Where we were staying was right next to the beach so the pixies spent alot of time playing on the beach .

This was the first holiday that Ben has actually enjoyed the beach and not hated the sand and water ,i think seeing Daisy splashing in the sea helped him get over his beach phobia.

When the tide went out there was loads and loads of rock pools for us to explore .

we found some prawns

and a very big crab

then we buried the pixies

Gray friars Bobby ,Ben has the book about bobby and spent all day asking to go see bobby and when we finally found him Ben had fallen asleep in the pram.

more playing on the beach

This is Holy Island it was really beautiful and had lots more beaches for the pixies to explore.

I felt really yucky so spent the day in a heap on the beach.

Daisy found a 'meow'

lindisfarn castle

sat on yet another beach

Andy was very excited when he saw this sign for free mead tasting :)

After a long walk we found the best beach of them all and it was huge and we were the only ones on it ! even though i was feeling really sick the sight of this beautiful deserted beach made me want to go for a paddle with the pixies.

Ben stripped off to his under pants and ran into the sea he didn't seem to mind the water was freezing cold.

Daisy did mind that the water was rather cold and started turning blue so we quickly got her dressed.

This was Arnwick Castle which is where Harry potter is filmed.

Ben got to dress up as a Knight and loved running round with the horse.

off with daddy's head

The next day we went to a Aquarium.

This was Chain bridge honey farm which was really brilliant and in the middle of nowhere so very peaceful and relaxing.

Visiting the dinosaurs at a museum in Newcastle

and a bit more rockpooling

Daisy insisted i take a photo of her sandy feet.
