Whooppeeee it's holidays

Me and Charlie are getting ready for the world sandcastle making competition! The other kids entering don't know what they are up against. Charlie is the bestest sandcastle builder ever - you will be able to read about him soon in Harold at the Olympets, I know that seems unusual but he's at wherever there us any sand to be seen - even a sandpit for the long jump!
We've got buckets of all different shapes and sizes, a spade each and a big packet of flags.....
Need to go Charlie is rushing off to the beach without me, must dash
Tatty byyyyyyyyeeeeeeee...............

The summer is finally here!

Mandy said the clocks have changed. I don't really know what that means. But what I do know is that summer is on its way. I love the summer! I've got a beach hut right next to the most lovely beach. Me and Charlie went up there this weekend to dust down the cobwebs from the winter and to set up for the summer. We've got lots of cans of cream soda in and new flags for the sandcastles.
We made a few sandcastles just to get some practise in for the big sandcastle competition in the summer - I'm sure we are going to win this year with the bestest castle ever!
Sadly the icecream shop wasn't open. The lady said that it was too cold for icecream. Have you ever heard something so silly, too cold for icecream - no such thing! You can't go to the beach and not have icecream it's just not right. Hopefully they will be open when we go back next.
Now that Charlie can swim (the lessons I gave him after our adventure with the Mermaid and On Safari really paid off) we will be doing lots of swimming. Although I did put my flipper in the water this weekend, boy it was cold! I think we will have to wait until the heaters are switched on!
See you soon platypus lovers
