For the last day of the long Easter weekend, the weather didn’t bode well. We awoke to more rain. However, David and I decided to head out anyway. We took a 50 minute drive to Formby Point. In the back seat of the car was Riley who doesn’t like long journeys. We got to the car parkย with no hiccup and walked through the squirrel woodland towards the dunes and the beach beyond.
At the beach we let Riley off the lead and played fetch with his favourite toy. We all had so much fun and it didn’t rain!
Before we left the beach for the car, we witnessed a wonderful show of nature. A starling murmuration billowed over the waters edge. It was amazing to watch!

Sadly its back to work tomorrow, but it’s days off like this that make the commute worth it. Roll on the next holiday!
How have you spent your Easter break?
Thanks for stopping by,
Christine, David and Riley x
Hi Christine, just seeing your Beach photos makes me want to get to the coast. It feels like its been a while. Looks like you had a lovely time and Riley too. Wonderful to see a murmeration and get a photo too.:)

A lovely place to walk – this is somewhere I’ve actually been (just once, quite a few years ago!).

I used to go here as a child and had totally forgotten about it until now! I shall be taking my little one. I think it looks really beautiful even with a murky sky!
