The Capers of Cilla
- November 2026

Hola beach going amigos and all.
I've been to a new beach this month and jolly bravo it was too. Ok the weather is now autumnal so the sea was a bit rough and the sky menacing but it meant the popular sands were all mine. Muy bien! 

Elaine took me 40mins to Seagrove Bay which is a 1.1km stretch of beach on the northeast coast of the Isle of Wight. It lies to the east of a pretty village called Seaview, which is famous for building little wooden dinghy boats, and faces towards Selsey Bill and Portsmouth. I could see the Spinnaker Tower underneath the dark clouds!

  Because the sea had been rough overnight there was a lot of seaweed to sniff and lots of broken oyster shells to nibble at. I ran about like the puppy I am but thanks to my new training regime (she thinks) I trotted happily back. I did however chase a noisy crow but as the beach is super surrounded and has protective seawalls for the houses I didn't get far. Not so muy bien! 

At low tide you can apparently walk around the bay to Priory Bay which is renowned as one of the best beaches on the island. Sadly the sea was too high this time but Elaine has promised to put in on my list. Nothing like the sand and seaweed between your paws! 

In other news Elaine says it's now PJ weather again which usually involves scuffles at 10pm, running around the house and biting furniture..... yay bring it on and open that box of doggy fleeces!
Right off to dream of crow chasing.....
