Back home at The Cottage and time for a rest this weekend. After all the recent busy travels, The Cottage has been a little haven of quiet chilled-ness. And the weather in North Wales right now is perfect. Not a cloud to be seen and just light winds. Ideal conditions to be taking advantage of The Cottage gardens - eating, drinking, sleeping and sunbathing - all at a very leisurely pace. Yesterday afternoon, however, we did decide to venture out from the grounds and head to the beach.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in North Wales! A busy beach! There was the small chance of there being some surf, but when we arrived the sea was as calm as it could have been. Being the boy scout that I am, I'd come prepared for all eventualities, so we pulled out the snorkels instead!
One of the good things about snorkelling on a busy day, is that as soon as you are in the water, the crowds are lost and left behind on the beach. I saw quite a few big crabs, but only a few small fish. The colour of the seaweed was almost tropical in the bright light but the temperature of the water was certainly not!
Not wanting to rush away after our swim, we took a walk around the coast to the village.
Where we managed to get 'last orders' at the Ice Cream Shop before it closed for the evening!
What a place to live! We felt super grateful that we only had a twenty minute drive home (which we broke up, by calling into our friends house for a cuppa on the way). Back home, although the sun had left the garden, it was still warm enough to dine outside. Brilliant...
