Lizzie Dripping By the Sea

Lizzie and the family are all off to the seaside - only downside to this is the fact they have to take Aunt Blodwen with them. She is a real pain in the %&*^ and does not really fit in with the family fun. Lizzie rushes off to the graveyard to tell the witch that she will be unable to see her as she is off to the seaside. A short while later and they all arrive at the seaside. Lizzie heads off to the sand whilst Aunt Blodwen states she will not take part in any seaside activity and that she is going shopping.
