AN AMAZING SUNNY WEEKEND

We recently enjoyed some pretty amazing weather down here in the south of england. Ben had a friday off so we took advantage and cycled to the beach near us nice and early to bag the best spot and beat the crowds. We enjoyed a lovely picnic, some sunbathing and a splash in the water. Stanley loved hanging out in his shady tent and even took a long nap in it.

On the Saturday we again headed off early to Cuckmere Haven to go for a walk and test out the backpack carrier we bought second hand. (It's a 'Vaude' by the way and I can recommend it after our walk!) It is such a glorious part of the Sussex countryside, somewhere I've been to a lot as a kid, but not visited recently as an adult. The weather was perfect and Stanley seemed to be happy up high enjoying his view. We went for a little explore in the rock pools, admired the beautiful Seven Sisters cliffs. and ate another picnic lunch before heading back before all the crowds descended on our little bit of peace and quiet. Stanley even managed a snooze in the backpack resting his weary head on the padded head rest!

Wow, lately round here it has been HOT HOT HOT. And I've enjoyed every second of it. I have managed to wear some very neglected summer clothes and been able to hang out with Stanley in the garden which feels like an extra room in this weather, as well as enjoy beach time as a family. I hope you have all had good weeks where you are and have been enjoying whatever weather you have! What have you been up to?

these photos are from last sunday when the weather was glorious. really glorious. who'd have thought it in february. the sort of weather that makes me so happy i moved back to the seaside. it makes me feel like a cat soaking up precious rays, no jacket on. warming my back as i walked along and topping up vital vitamin d levels... spring finally felt like it was coming and i cannot wait. particularly this year as i have a little buddy with me all day to share this lovely part of the year with. he was loving the day and it was as if he was saying "why the heck have we not been here before?!" well i'm sorry but it's been too cold and wet and you can't walk yet mister ;)

 

oh i know pictures of me hey?! husband had the camera. rare thing...
