Parrot's

Abigail and Bradley are now off school for a week so after a late breakfast we decided to spend the day at the beach. I set about making a picnic lunch of baguette fruit and crisps whilst Abigail sorted out the towels, buckets and spades. We finally set off walking and met a Gambian guy who we usually talk to he now lives in London however he is back visiting family for a few months. The children like to stop and chat as he has a pet parrot which sits on his shoulder however today he had two parrots. He took one off his shoulder and placed it onto Bradley’s cap so I could take a couple of photos of him.

We then continued onto the beach and found a couple of sun beds we had a quick dip in the sea to cool off. On exiting there was a cuttle fish which had been washed up, Lamin came over to talk and he then took the cuttle fish to the craft market as someone he knows likes eating them. When Adam arrived he gave the children a necklace each and a bracelet for me which he had made then he set about building sand castle’s with Abigail and Bradley. A couple of children called Alex and Mia played with Abigail and Bradley in the sea jumping over the waves. With the sea being very rough I went in to watch them and I was shortly joined by Alex and Mia’s Scottish father, their mother is Gambian. We ate our picnic lunch and the children played a bit more before we packed up to leave for home.
