Brighton beach on a wet February day

When I saw the weather forecast for this week – rain, rain, more rain – I decided to have some of our morning walks on Brighton beach.

Georgie, our Golden Retriever, gets absolutely filthy in Stanmer woods – and we have to drive from our house to get there.

So going to the beach saves on petrol, muddy towels, a filthy house, and two very mucky dogs. It also gives them busy street practice on the lead since we have to walk through town to get to the beach itself.

Anyway, these pics are from this morning. Our second wet walk of the week (and it’s only Tuesday) – clothes, leads, collars are drying out yet again – but no mud and that’s got to be a good thing :)

First of all here’s Jessie with the Palace Pier behind – the pier with all the scary rides!

Wherever we go, Georgie manages to find a plastic bottle.

And finally, both fast asleep a few minutes ago :) zzzzzzz
