Lily's birthday and sandcastle competition

What a great day for a birthday party and what a great location and activity! Thank you Lily for letting us share your 6th birthday (belated birthday :)) There were 6 sandcastles (one ended up as a 'work in progress' sandcastle kingdom) and lots of children and adults - all eager to participate. We had very creative artists at work; most sculptures had functional moats and the obligatory drawbridge and optional extras included beautiful 'gardens' and cannons and a blacksmith's 'gazebo', complete with anvil.

A wonderful morning which was rounded off with sandwiches and muffins on the sand, courtesy of Lily's parents, Andrew and Alison of Bowmore House. Many thanks to all for coming.
