As I didn’t have a paddle when I was in Cardiff, really fancied a trip to the seaside so headed to Margate on the high speed train – gosh, that does go rather fast.

Saw this lovely carved poem when I arrived (can you read it?).

As the beach wasn’t far away, headed there very quickly and was rather pleased the sun came out. It was really fun on the beach. First of all I did some shell seeking.

Then I built a sandcastle and adorned it with the seashells.

After all that sand, I needed a wash so had a paddle and then practised for my spa visit by having a seaweed bath.

After all that fresh air and exercise, I had a snooze on the train on the way home.
