Dunbar The Bay

My turn to have a day off work (woo hoo!) and entertain four children (help!) while they're off school. As it turned out, we were down to three as Eloise was poorly, and the weather was kind so we were able to be outdoors. We took ourselves to Dunbar (officially the sunniest place in Scotland) and did some rock-pooling, went swimming in their lovely pool (waves, flumes and all) and reminisced about the old outdoor pool. That might have been just me. We popped along to the John Muir Country Park for a picnic lunch, only to discover that they have a splendid new adventure playground where we set up our now-inevitable slackline, and Holly did some amazing pole-shimmying and ropework while the boys gave it a bit of Star Wars action on the rolling mounds. After a short stroll through the salt marsh to the stunning Belhaven Bay, we concluded the day with an ice cream at Luca's. A fab day out, and a vast improvement on working for a living.
