We’re back from our Autumn half term holiday in Wales and much the better for it. It’s been 4 years nearly since our last holiday so it was well overdue. After a delayed start for a day whilst we confirmed that the 100.4 temperature that Button was running wasn’t, in fact, scarlet fever (phew!) the week ran smoothly and we had a relaxed but still very lovely time doing pretty much nothing except walking, eating and watching movies.
Oh, I love these guys
Of course there was the minor incidents of small folk rampaging out of earshot and the neighbouring holiday makers knocking on our door at 6.30am begging for relief.
And The Incident of the (toy) Dragon in the Nighttime, which included a beanie baby dragon, a table lamp, and a pesky small boy, that could have ended up very badly had Button not realised that the Rubicon had been crossed and come to wake me.
That said, here are a few pics that aptly capture the real essence of our break and the beauty of the Welsh coast and countryside around Cardigan bay. They are phone photos because very early on I decided that I wanted to actually be in this holiday rather than spending time observing it from behind the lens. I highly recommend this strategy…making memories is more fun than simply capturing the images.
Searching for shells for Grandad. A very serious endeavour!

Lovely, I love the Welsh countryside. Hope you’re all fired up & ready to tackle your Winter sewing pile! 🙂
It was my first visit…it certainly won’t be my last. I’m playing catchup this week and then I’m determined to sew something next week. I can’t wait! 😉
You have a gorgeous family. It’s wonderful you were able to sneak away to spend time together. It looks like a beautiful place to make memories.
Thank you…I’m very blessed!
It was simply perfect.
It looks idyllic! And what are you feeding those two?! They look like they’ve each grown 6″!
It looks wonderful. The perfect retreat. Did you take knitting?
Beautiful family and a wonderful and a well deserved holiday. Hope Button is recovered!
Beautiful photos and nice to get away and relax. Glad that all is well. Wales looks very beautiful and scenic. Xx
Love those pics and I totally agree with your holiday approach! I am happy you could finally take a holiday and enjoy some nice time together. It looks like a very idyllic place indeed. It’s crazy how kids go from getting up so early to not wanting to get up at all;)
