Auntie Knows Best

We have had a lovely day today. This morning The Mister went for a long run this morning and I sorted out some cupboards. Not terribly exciting but chores need to be done1

After lunch we planned to meet friends at the beach so the kids could play and we could catch up from a social acceptable distance. My sister and her friends also happened to be there so we had a lovely afternoon sat 2m apart, shouting at each other whilst the kids body boarded and swam all afternoon. I even went in myself for a swim and stayed in about 10 minutes. It was absolutely gorgeous.

I finished the day by walking home. Such a lovely day – it almost felt like normal!

A wet and windy walk along the beach with some of my favourite humans and my very favourite canine.

Whatever the weather we love the beach!

Yesterday we spent a lovely afternoon at the beach with my cousins, aunts and uncles and all the kids. It was nice to get together and just chill out. We even had a nice swim – it wasn’t too cold!

I am hesitant to put this photo up as my arse looks enormous. However, I love this photo as it shows me with my aunt and my cousin. There is something so lovely and close about the way Auntie Josie has her arms around both of us. We are very lucky to have such a close and lovely family

Today it has been hot and glorious and we spent the afternoon at the beach!

The tide was low but the kids had a lovely time playing in the rockpools, kicking the ball around and digging holes.

I suspect we don’t have too many more beach days left this year.

Another fabulous beach day. Headed to Port Soif this time as the tide was low.

A gorgeous day down at the beach and we finished off with delicious chips and Dad, Auntie Josie and Uncle Howard joined us. Dad even came for a swim!

We had a lovely evening on the beach today and some friends turned up and sat next to us.

The Little Miss and her friend Henry spent a lot of time together when they were little as his Mum used to child mind the kids. The Little Miss would whip poor Henry’s dummy out of her mouth and start sucking on it – it always made me chuckle when I saw her doing it!

Another beautiful west coast sunset this evening.

Another beautiful beach day.
