What glorious weather!! So much to post about and yet so little time to actually post about it all. Splendid weekend, England going okay in the Ashes and something happened at work a week ago that has made life much improved, for now anyway and I finally finished Tara's blanket but I think it deserves a post all to itself because I really am very please with the way it came out.
The above was taken yesterday morning on our walk. We left it too late, my fault entirely, and by the time we were halfway along our usual walk on the coastal path it was far too hot for Phaolin so we turned around and came back.
A very hot dog, just before we turned around and headed back.
Needless to say I spent the rest of the day with my lovely crochet, in front of the Ashes. Got a bit worried there for a while but the latter end of the day picked up tremendously.
And so, not wanting to make the same mistake as yesteday we were up at 6am today and by 7 we were on our way to the sea for an early morning walk in the cool(er) part of the day.
We parked the car and headed towards the marina... I didn't have my camera with me so these pictures were all taken with my iPhone!
Which looked really lovely and sparkly in the early morning sun.
Round the marina and down on to the beach where Phaolin wasted no time in finding a 'paddling pool' to cool his hot doggy paws.
The tide was out so we didn't go right down to the sea, it wasn't really necessary when there were plenty of pools and channels for Phaolin to play in.
Because it was so early we had the beach mainly to ourselves...
It really was a beautiful morning...
The view across the bay to the Gower Peninsula...
Back towards the lighthouse and pier at Burry Port...
And further round you can just see the taller masts from the marina...
Finally it was time for a drink and to turn round and head back along the coastal path towards the car.
A quick look back towards the Gower...
And then it was back to the car and home for breakfast in the garden with an early treat of one of the classic tastes of Summer...
And a brand new crochet project - well 2 actually... aren't those colours absolutely yummy!
