Summer's Coming!

At this time of the year I feel especially lucky to live in Newcastle. Jane, the boys and I have been making the most of the spring sunshine by getting to the beach as much as we can. Unfortunately Ben has developed a fear of the water, which puts a hole in any attempts I have to swim. I don't know if he doesn't like the temperature or the waves. Anyway he's happy to dig in the sand, but not so keen on swimming. I did manage to get him a bit interested in the water a couple of weeks ago when we went to the Canoe Pool and there were lots of hermit crabs in the water. I didn't get any good shots of the little fellas, but they kept the boys amused for ages. Other favourite beach past times include;
collecting treasures, running super fast,

and considering the juxtaposition of industrialisation against the natural beauty of the novocastrian landscape.
