#Spotted at the Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small EXTREMELY stubborn pony has decided that he would very much like to trot into the sea for a BIG splash. His small human rider is roaring and spluttering about this NOT being a good idea, but Stubborn Pony's not having it. It's in the water for them and that's final. Two small humans (5 & 6?) have decided that the best way to build a sandcastle is on the tideline. That way... Every shovelful of sand they pile up... Washes away IMMEDIATELY! Oh no! Recriminations! It's definitely the architect's fault, not the engineers! (They're having SO much fun.) A young human (9?) is stomping up to Mum and announcing in a disgruntled grump: "Mum, Levi is SO ANNOYING!" Another young human (7?) races up behind him, radiating outrage, stating emphatically. "No! I'm NOT annoying. I'm just DIFFERENT!" A man (30s?) is setting up a GoPro on a tripod to film his tiny human (1?) playing on the sand. But what is this?! Tiny Human has just run head-long into the tripod?! (Whoopsie Daisy!) Dad scooping her up and making it all better. Maybe cuddles are better than pictures anyway. A couple (20s?) are snuggled up in the back of a camper van under some fluffy blankets on a chilly winter's day. The back door's open, giving them a clear view of the beach and snow-capped mountains beyond. The hint of coming rain in the air, but they don't care. Cosy and warm. Together. (Continued Below)

    Any typos spotted in this post tried very hard not to laugh out loud when they spotted a pony going for a beach splash the other day. Pony Rider's bruised ego was soothed by their mum who was also trying very hard not to laugh. Pony looked happy. When a pony's gotta splash, a pony's gotta splash.
