Stunning weekend of full Sun in the 20's (degs) all weekend, so we took Jude and Little Zena to Bembridge, on the Saturday night the tide was one on the lowest Spring tides of the year which results in a very very low tide, so we joined others walking out into the Solent when it revealed the causeway bank to St Helen's Fort, only exposed for 1 hour so no hanging around...bit Scary!!!
