We took the short drive of seven miles to Chapel Point, near Chapel St Leonards. There is a Coastguard Station there, as it affords marvellous views along the coast. It has a smart viewing gallery inside, and a cafe. But as it was a warm day, we decided to sit on a table outside the Seascape Cafe and enjoy the view.

Main building and car park.
Ollie on the outside decking with his water bowl. As usual, he wasn’t cooperating with the camera.
Julie at Chapel Point cafe.
Julie cuddling Ollie to try to make him forget the camera.
After that we drove into the small seaside town of Chapel St Leonards, and had a walk along the seafront. This pub has tables on a fake pirate ship on the beach, and is very popular.
Julie took Ollie to a bench to give him more water, so I was able to stand some way off and get a photo. Perhaps the best one I got of him all week.

Hi Pete! Sorry, i am once again late! It seems you all had a wonderful holday. I am sure also Ollie enjoyed to see a new region, with so many scents of other dogs. Best wishes, Michael

Two bloggers edited that last photo for me, and removed the orange bag and blue bowl. You will see that in another post. 🙂

Life is “messy,” Pete. Leave the bowl and bag in there and frame it up. Great picture. It is so nice Ollie gets a holiday as well!

(1) Ollie: “I came here to swim in the sea, and all I got was this lousy bowl of water!”
(2) You can cuddle Ollie, but you can’t scuttle the fake pirate ship.
(3) “All hands on deck!” (Doesn’t have quite the same punch as an expression when said deck is on shore.)

Ollie hates the sea, but he is also not too keen on a fake pirate ship! 🙂

Funny, I didn’t notice those as I was looking at the two main subjects. But I know what you mean.. We want perfection in our photos but often get real life instead. 😊
