A phone call on the beach, from dear South African friends came before I even started carving the castle. They wanted to stop in Lewes on their way to South Carolina, and take Jack and I out to lunch. I never want to stop ‘playing’ once I get to the beach (plus I didn’t want to have to shower and get dressed, before I finished a castle, either!) I don’t usually stop to have lunch, but we hadn’t seen Sue and Peter in a long while. They are in the U.S. visiting, and wanted to see us. Jack suggested we go to On the Rocks, and I was ready in a flash (a long beach cover up over my bathing suit, and I was ready!) Lunch was nice, and I was back on the beach at 2:30, and worked till 5, and finished the castle for the day.
This castle was about 2 and a half hours carving, after the sand prep in the morning.
