A funny little story for you. Ruby very rarely jumps into the boot of our car when we take her out. More often than not I have to lift her in and she's no light weight. Even treats don't work most of the time. True to form I had to lift her in today because she had her usual stubborn Beagle head on. After Cleveleys beach I took her on to the cliffs at North Shore where she could have a run and I could take some photos. After about 5 minutes the weather really turned nasty. Because the tide was fully in by then the wind became very strong and it began to hailstone. I could see Ruby was distressed and the hailstones must have really hurt her, so we made our way back to the car. I lifted the boot lid slowly because I thought the wind was going to take it off, wondering how I was going to hold the lid and lift Ruby in at the same time, when low and behold she jumped in and lay straight down on her mattress before the boot was even half open. The next time she tries to pull a fast one on me she can think again! I laughed all the way home. She's a funny little thing and I love her so much. She brightens every single day for me. When we arrived home she almost yanked my arm out of its socket trying to get in the house as fast as she could. I took a few photos but they're not brilliant because of camera shake from the wind. It was exhilarating and scary but blew the cobwebs away. I love living by the sea :)
A post script to this post. I didn't realise at the time but yesterday we had nacreous clouds. You can just about make them out in my 4th photo. Here's a little information about them.
