Overview
But the family weren't ones to sit quietly in the dunes and catch up on their reading! Mum Mavis and sons David and young Paul enjoyed swimming and boating in their dinghy 'Belle' in the relative safety of the tidal creeks whilst Dad Derrick filmed the family to show the folks back home. David would try his hand at the traditional mud racing through the creeks and swimming races organised throughout the summer.
Despite having 2 boys to entertain, Mavis and Derrick still managed to grab some special time together on the beach with Mavis playing to the camera, writing 'I love you' in the sand and running off into the sunset.
