Ben has found a particularly long branch, and dragged it down the beach. Far too heavy to throw ! but we did play "tug-of-war" for a while.

Ben sitting in the middle of the compartment. He carried in the black rucksack behind him, I think he chose this one because it was the only carriage without other dogs and small children. He is also waiting for me to fill his water bottle / bowl as he wants a drink.
