Family Fun

My sister and her family are moving abroad next week so I've been spending a few more weekends than usual with them these last couple of months before they go.  We have been having so much fun.

There has been hugs with my nephews

tree climbing

lots of pulling funny faces and laughing

doing my best Lorax impression

making bubbles

feeding the ducks

walking the dog

feeling the breeze in our hair

eating icecream

And lots and lots of smiles

I will miss them all so much, but hope that the new adventure they are about to embark on brings them happiness and their own little slice of heaven.

Winter at the beach

I love the beach any time of year.   So back a few weeks ago when I really felt in need of some sea air, I took myself and one of my friends off to Brean beach for a lovely walk along the sand.

As you can see it was a pretty bleak day, but we wrapped up warm against the sea breeze and had a wonderful time anyway.

The rocks in the picture above were totally covered in all this lovely seaweed.

My friend's dog, Gypsy, had a whale of a time getting soggy in the little pools of water that had collected around the rocks.  She kept trying to dig holes in these sandy puddles but couldn't quite understand why the holes were filling back in as fast as she was digging :)

This was quite a few weeks ago now and a craving for the beach is starting to build again, I have a week off work coming up next month but I'm not sure I can hold out until then ..... we'll see.
