Paddleboarding

Went paddleboarding today from the sandbank that is exposed at lowtide. IT WAS GREAT FUN AND I DIDN'T FALL OFF. I was rather annoyed that Chris did not bother to take a photo, think I will ask Father Christmas for one! Went shelling on the bank but the shells were very delicate and broke on the way back. The snorking was good lots of fish I had not seen before, they crowded around and tried to nibble me! There was one slightly alarming moment when I was swimming between two large rocks when suddenly huge numbers of fish started swimming past me fast in the opposite direction, I wondered what they were escaping from but luckily did not meet anything large and hungry!
