I suppose if you'd been really cut off you might have gone into the garden of Portobello House but that would have probably given you a long road walk back to the car. At least your dogs are small enough to scoop up if necessary, Daisy - not so much!<br /><br />If you have a smartphone, I can recommend a free app called "Tide Times Near Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-27357162230418853482017-07-27T07:07:39.340+01:002017-07-27T07:07:39.340+01:00Sophie didn't have much choice Eileen, she wa...Sophie didn't have much choice Eileen, she was on the lead and being pulled along by both me and Poppie. I guess maybe the shape of the bay and the fact that it has a river running through it means the tide comes in so quickly; I'm glad the water wasn't any deeper or I would have had to swim too! :)Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-883785423019632704.post-81928928763220520422017-07-27T05:31:45.878+01:002017-07-27T05:31:45.878+01:00It's a good job that Sophie overcame her disli...It's a good job that Sophie overcame her dislike of swimming and knew she had to do it to get across. It's amazing how quickly you can get cut off with the tides. I have no idea where Portobello beach is having never heard of it so am off to look it up.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.com
