a life made lovely...
a welsh seaside village...sand dunes...friends...happy kids...sandy toes...
old stone buildings...crabbing...ships & salt air...
giggles...trails through the dunes...fish & chips...
stunning hills...beautiful estuary's...cobblestone paths...
old pubs...antique shops...new old boxes stashed in the back of the car...
there is absolutely nothing like time on the beach for our family...
we adore the sandy feet...
the knotty hair...
the sand dunes...
salty faces...
laughing kids...
the welsh in the kids & their dad comes out in all it's glory...
aussie welsh kids fishing, crabbing & hanging out with the locals...
perfect...
hope you all had a wonderful weekend
nothing like a mini break
in another country
that you can drive to
...as australians we will never get over the excitement of doing this...

Hi Mrs M
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you enjoyed Wales. Many a holiday spent there as a kiddie. Such a beautiful place, with amazing beaches, especially in the South. I imagine it was just what you needed. The beach just *is* the Mrs Sew and So clan! Could you ever imagine not living near one?? Last night I had to twist Edie's arm to get her to walk the dog with me on the beach. I then went into the whole 'you know, when I was little, I only saw the beach a couple of times a year... you know how lucky you are?' She caved and came... I think she was happy! Hope you're having a great week! Lx
The gift you are giving to your children of seeing other countries & cultures is priceless, it's just wonderful, something they'll always have.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are absolutely beautiful....my grandma used to have ornaments going up her stairs from holiday places and she had a little jug from Barmouth, I can picture it now :)

Thats so true about the visiting of other countries...I was over there about 7 years ago, and we couldnt get over the fact that it was just a day trip to Wales, which we loved by the way!
ReplyDeleteI love your style of photography, and almost feel like Im back there agin, thankyou :)
how gorgeous! my kids love crabbing too :)
ReplyDeleteI have heard from people that have been there, that our Oregon coast is very much like the English, Welsh, and Irish coast. I live pretty close to the ocean, so I can go almost any time I want. It is definitely a place where I go to gather my thoughts, and process.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos Melissa! Just beautiful! Keep them coming so I can feel like I've been there.
God bless,
Fi
What a fabulous post and your photography is so stunning it makes me yearn to go back to my homeland-the UK ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs hubby drives to Wales at least once a month on business we've managed quite a few trips there and it's so pleasant and quite beautiful...living in Buckinghamshire we are about as far from a beach as you can be in England...I do miss it...Robx
