Aprons on the Beach,

We have been so enjoying the Easter holidays this week, it is so nice to spend time with the wee ones.

Like me, they love dressing up and collecting everything. But this week they were especially good sports at dressing up and drinking out of china on the beach.

We have so trained them early!

I have a real battle some mornings with the youngest one wanting to wear my gold vintage shoes out.

It is quite funny though. He also shouts china really loud in public when he sees it. He also sometimes likes to flick the china to make sure it is actually china and also to see if it has the right sound to see if it is cracked. It does make me laugh.

So today it's a couple of boys dressed up in aprons on the beach with china. 

Just what you wanted to see.

My lovely sister in law also made an appearance this week which was awesome, she is also a lover of all things vintage and china.

Pink vintage china checking out the sea.

Stripes and flowers, nice look!

This mega colourful picnic cloth is my emergency back pack one for wet sand and was only a £1.

Love the clashing of colours!

Love the yellow and purple lady on this china cup.

Time to go.

Oops, massive wave.

Ominous clouds approaching.

Holidays nearly over, boo.

Hope you all had a good Easter break.

Happy Easter,

Happy Easter Everyone.

I had the honour of joining the Easter sunrise service this morning at six. I can't believe I was on time. 

It is an early morning service for the people of Swansea to attend no matter what background or denomination you are from. 

It was so busy, which was brilliant.

An opportunist taking time to toast tea cakes after.

Two big fires kept everyone warm.

The view towards Mumbles at high tide.

Fresh colourful flowers on a cross at a local church later on.

Take care for now everyone, hope you have had a lovely day.

North Gower Walk at Cwm Ivy,

Cwm Ivy Walk.

We had a long walk at Cwm Ivy in the very North west of the Gower Peninsula. I think it is one of the most beautiful areas of the Gower. It has nature reserves, mature woodlands, salt marshes, sand dunes, forest and  breathtaking views to Whiteford Lighthouse. It is also quite a secluded area so it is rare to come across many people on this walk.

Follow the signs for the beach, we did quite a long circular walk.

Always a good thing for little ones to come across a tractor or two.

Couldn't resist a Quicke photograph!

Lot's of peaceful grazing cattle.

My brother really loved this waving long grass on the walk. 

Yikes, Military debris ??

 Have a soft spot for old rusty objects.

  

May be because my dad is a metallurgist! 

You can just about see the lighthouse in the distance.

Beautiful view.

Couldn't resist an old shoe!

Always seems to be a lone shoe on a beach.

  

We had a Awesome Guest on our walk, who happened to have a couple of rulers with him,(as you do!) so we did a bit of measuring of sea life.

A few photographs of the view of the vast beach.

Lots of blowing sand. 

Lots of cloud action.

It was actually quite a long walk.

We were really lucky to have a couple of beautiful uncles on this walk who helped with the piggy backs of the little ones.

This is also a walk that our lovely Katy liked too.
