Beach Hikes by the House

This spring we've been using the 'beach' below our house more than ever before.  The trick is to catch it at low tide otherwise it is almost impossible to go anywhere.  At mid tide some of the cliffs go straight down to the water, but at low tide there is a wide plain of rocky beach to explore.  I told Nora that the moon influences the tide and that the biggest tides are when the moon is full.  So Nora has been reporting on the state of the moon - as in 'daddy the moon is getting pretty full so the beach will be good for a dog walk'.  Patrick
