These are both of Lily in an unusual resting state. She is normally to be found leaping, running or climbing, but due to poor lighting conditions, i didn’t get any good shots!

We went to Littlehampton to see a crowd of paddle boarders paddling around, which I found somewhat underwhelming. The sea was flat, and their main purpose appeared to be social networking, while punting themselves hither and thither. Desiring to know what else paddle boarders did, I found these videos:

In benign conditions

A little rougher
