Entirely surrounded by water

'It's a little Anxious,' he said to himself, 'to be a Very Small Animal Entirely Surrounded by Water.'  
AA Milne, Winnie The Pooh (1926)

Much like Piglet (except it was raining in his case and tiding in ours), our usually quite sensible family just got entirely surrounded by salty water.

Whoops.

I had to take my boots off and wade, the parents got soggy feet and the most customarily urban amongst us, B, stayed toasty and dry and his boots ... it just goes to show, when the tides are coming, it pays to wade steady!

Having escaped (just) from the salty deeps, I was rather taken by these hide and seek, peeping houses.
