I can’t quite believe that these photos were taken at the start of last week.
Things have turned so grey and chilly the last few days, it feels really odd to think that it was less than a week ago that the children were splashing around in the sea!
We knew the weather was due to shift, so on Tuesday last week after we had finished with work and school work for the day we popped down to the beach for high tide.
We’d been down at the weekend too, just for a paddle. Which of course resulted in the children getting absolutely soaked.
So this time we went prepared, with them in their swimmers, and towels in our backpack.
In case you can’t tell from the photos, they had a whale of a time!
They lasted about half an hour before starting to get a bit chilly and deciding it was probably a good idea to come out of the water and wrap up warm for a bit.
It might have been quite a short trip to the beach, but it was just what we all needed. A welcome break from the return to school work after the half term holiday and a chance to just forget everything that’s going on in the world for a bit.
The announcement has been made that schools in Wales will be open for all children at the end of June, so now we have to think about what’s best for our family in terms of Rhys and Nerys going back or staying at home with us.
For now we’re waiting to hear a bit more about how it will work at their school before making a firm decision.
At this stage I honestly don’t know what the best answer is for us.
I’m still tearing my hair out with the school decision too – we’re in England but Reception at our school aren’t back til the 22nd June. Your beach trip looked lovely – wish we lived nearer a beach! I’m too scared to drive to one in case it’s too busy! Have a lovely week xx #livingarrows
Brrrrr I can practically feel how cold the sea is through the picture – brave and brilliant kids!
I am dreaming of one day going for a paddle! These photos look glorious and the weather definitely has turned since then! x
I don’t envy you with the school decision- it’s such a hard decision. We’re fortunate that Iris is too young for school yet but we have put off her starting nursery for now.
You’re so lucky to be close to the sea. We live too far away just justify the drive.
It’s so hard to know what to do for the best with school, but I’m grateful my children are the age they are, it would be so much harder if they were in secondary school. x
I wish we lived closer to beach and could just pop to one. I hope the sunny weather comes back soon x
They’re braver than me going in the water! Rhys does look a bit chilly though 🙂 I hope everything works out with school – I think we’re all watching and waiting here in England to see how it goes and if they do manage to get all the children back in at the end of the month.
