The working Cavalier on a South Devon beach

It's a well known fact that here in the South West of England, when visitors from the Summer months go home the beaches still have to be patrolled.

This is the patch I patrol and clear from innocent flying wings trying to catch their dinner.

Some bob around in the water off shore. The best way to clear them is to sneak up on them when they least expect it.

I've yet to clear them all, but I live in hope,

Beach clearing isn't all about digging holes and playing with a ball you know. Yes Sir, to really clear the beach you have to get down and get dirty and get wet.

This kind of work wouldn't be suited to every Cavalier you meet, cos most don't like getting their paws wet at all.

There is always that rewarding feeling when going home, you know you have done your best.
The perk of the job is, you also take as much of the beach home with you in your very wet bedraggled sea water smelling coat.
