Mr A with his cat face paint |
So last monday the sun was out and we felt like a proper little adventure, a day trip to somewhere new and The Gower popped into our head. This is a lovely stretch of coastline just past Swansea city centre but feels like you are miles away with quaint seaside villages, delis and beautiful views. We have been meaning to go for way to long and although both John and I have explored this part of Wales before we have not done so with Mr A in tow as it was around an hour and half drive but with the prospect of beach time Mr A couldn't wait.
Chilling in the sun |
As always it's lovely to have a day without any rushing involved, we stayed on the beach until after 6pm, building sandcastles with moats, looking in rock pools and enjoyed some olives, pizza and ice-cream up on a cliff top bar overlooking Bracelet Bay. It was simply one of those lovely summer days spent with the family, you can't get better than that.
What lovely pictures you all look great. It reminds me of all those sunny fun days with my kids when they were little.
ReplyDeleteAwww what a nice day at the beach! We usually go too as we live near one and its always a fun experience to go =) #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI love The Gower! I camped there with my besties for my 30th birthday (and quite literally have the scars to prove it - ha!). Beautiful place & i've been saying for years how I'd love to go back & take the children :)
