.....Okay.....
...so it may have seemed that I was at my desk last week.....but it was half term and I was, in fact, in Egypt.....
......nahhhhhh......just kidding..... We hopped across the border to Wales to visit family....So if I seemed a little quiet, that was why.
It was a nice relaxing week apart from all the Bears being ill at some point......always the way.
There were wet days.....with wet walks.....
It was a stars and stripes day for me
It was a floral day for my beautiful Sister-in-law
And Baby Bear has not reached the age when pink for a boy is completely uncool!
.........sunny but cool days.......
I love this view so much
hummmmmm...there seems a familiarity here in this photo
Crossing this was fun!
Three Cliffs Bay
I could not get my Bears off this!
ahhhhh.....stripey love.....
.....and sunny and really warm days.....
......nestled amongst the rock pools
Such a perfect day
Always lovely to create happy childhood memories with lots of family around
This was my Egypt! Did I fool you with the top photo?!!!! We never seem to do a bog standard sand castle.
Before the tide went right out, the channels were filled with water and the Bears (and Mr H) were in their element.
ahhhhhh fun was had
I even got a 3D heart castle made just for me.....that was until one of the boys ran and jumped on it!
Five out of 6 cousins wasn't bad. Have you any idea how hard it is to get boys to stand together?!!!!
To have such a wonderful day at the beach right at the end of October was truly AMAZING.

I also grew a year older
and drank out of pretty crockery
whilst admiring pretty crockery....
So......all in all we had a lovely break. Sooooooooo much to do now though. It will take me a week at least to catch up in the house, it always does.....and another week to catch up with all the goings on in Blog land.
Apologies for the picture overload. A real bore of a post to many, well done if you got to the end! ha ha! Memories created and saved for the Bears. That's what it's all about!
Happy Monday all
Hope it's not as wet where you are as it is here!

ReplyDeleteYour photos are brilliant. I have treated myself to a Canon 505 camera so hopefully my photos will be brill just like yours.......xx
ReplyDeleteYou seemed to have had a wonderful half term . Fooled me with the 1st photo.A very imaginative sand building.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can ever have photo overload, especially when they are memory making! By the way your sand sculptures are gorgeous. I have a collection of amazing creations on a family holiday to Wales a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not too many photos, and that first pyramid one nearly did have me fooled! Glad you had a lovely time and were able to celebrate your birthday in such a special way. Belated birthday greetings to you.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Vanessa - so glad you had a lovely half term, your pictures are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wish the sand down here would mould in that kind of way - it's too grainy!
Have a great day,
