A Thames Barge.

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

We have had a really lazy day today. It started off with Old Two Legs getting up at seven thirty instead of his normal six fifteen.

Mind you, I didn't mind cos that means I get an extra hour in bed!

When we went out first thing, Wendy decided she wanted to come with us, just for a change. She doesn't often come out cos she is getting on and says that too much running wears her paws out!

Eric was a bit put out but we promised him he could come out at lunchtime and if he was reallly good, we would let him go in for a swim!

Eric is a bit like Holly, neither of them like water!

Lunchtime came and off we all went. As we got to the first rubbish bin we spotted a Thames Barge heading down the Medway, enjoying a trip in the sunshine. It was a good thing OTL had his telephoto lens with him, you camn almost see the crew on deck!

Barge off the Starboard Bow!

It wasn't long before we got to the beach and as normal, Eric just wanted to get up the beach and have a dig in the sand!

Told you, I don't do wet water!

As normal, once he got going he was OK and soon he was diving in and out of the long grass and sniffing at the wild flowers!

Just before we got to the top of the hill we saw this boat thing charging through the water heading towards us. Again, using OTL's telephoto lens we were able to see it was one of thos sea going tugs that shove the ships around or take the pilot out to a ship that needs some help navigating through the shallows.

Holly says they have big powerful engines in those things!

I did a sneaky, while OTL was looking the other way, I headed in for a quick dip! OTL threatened to take me home and put me in the shower again but I managed to dry off in the car before we got home!

Well, the weekend is here so we may get another hour or two in bed, if we are lucky!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
