Oh no! I see water ahead of us! The beach?
You mean we travelled for two days to go to the beach?!?!?! But I don’t like the beach.
I guess I don’t have a say in any of this. I’ll just follow you guys.
Oh no, now what? I have to go down these steps?
I had a think before I gingerly made my way down
And decided to just make a run for it
Thankfully, Manuela was at the bottom waiting for me
It took me a little while before I ventured to check out the sand.
And another while before I went a little further
But never close to the water.
Mummy said we should go for a walk –
She knows I am afraid of the water so we didn’t walk too close to the edge.
I was glad when Mummy decided to sit down. We sat together and had a conversation about life and the universe
Manuela joined us and together, we three looked out at the sea and the cloud formation –
Thankfully Mummy and Manuela decided they were hungry and we left the beach to have lunch.

Love this photo of George and I – we both have “flying ears”
And head tilted in the same way. LOL!
The last time Manuela and I walked on a beach together was six years ago in Kenya – an amazing friend who was there when I needed someone to listen and to be there.
