Beside the seaside

We had some really good weather while baby Charlotte was visiting, so we introduced her to the seaside.
Day 1. Basic vocabulary

 sand


  puddles


 surf


"And that," said Mummy and Daddy, "is the sea."

Charlotte made such good progress in her lesson at Croyde Bay that next day we ventured a little further:
Day 2. Advanced concepts

great tourist attraction


 great seaside tradition


great seaside nuisance

On her next visit, Charlotte will learn about boats and angling and later on we'll tackle farming and wildlife in the region.

(Charlotte's photos appear on her own blog. My son is happy to send invitations to any of my online friends to view them - just send me an email address to monix123@gmail.com)

  5. There's nothing like a child prodigy for keeping you on your toes.
    Fish and chips taste so much better at the seaside, why is that?

  6. Yes, fish and chips should only be eaten at the seaside. They just don't taste the same indoors or from a plate.
