We left home and had a couple of stops on the way to the ferry, mainly because of horrendous traffic jams and also a lot of Police blue lighting down the middle of the road. No idea what that was all about!

When we arrived at the port they let us on the earlier ferry..last car on!  There were a lot of dogs up on deck, some quite nasty, growling and barking!

Of course it is a very short and expensive crossing! We drove straight to Woodside Bay. We were two hours early but they gave us the key.  We unpacked the car and then walked through the wood and on to the beach. I think Ellie would go on her own, she knows it so well.

It was nice to be back, listening to the birds and watching the red squirrels.

Ellie even had her own pack in the lodge!

A rope was included in it!

I had a Sainsburys delivery which arrived at 5pm. All sorted.
