Teeny Tiny Lords Of The Flies

Spent Sunday afternoon on the beach in North Berwick with some of Sophia's old nursery buddies.

After half an hour of splashing in the water they set up camp in a sheltered bit about 30m away from us, established a no-adults zone, and we only saw them when they sent out raiding parties for more food.

They clearly had a delightful time and it's great watching them establishing their independence.
