We made it to the end of term and have happily survived the first week of the summer holidays!
The last few weeks of term were busy ones for the children but they coped brilliantly. We had an absolutely amazing evening during the very last week of term when their school put on a concert in the Brangwyn Hall.
It was so well done and all the children sang beautifully and I just felt so lucky to be there and watch them all.
Now though it’s really lovely to just slow down the pace a bit. Let the children regroup. Have a few lazy days and late nights.
We’re not going away on holiday anywhere this summer but I always feel like we don’t really need to, living where we do. There are so many parks and outdoor spaces to play in close to home, and then we have all the stunning beaches of Gower just along the coast.
As part of our plan to visit quite a few different beaches this summer we popped to Langland Bay last week. I always love taking our family photos for the me and mine project at the beach, so I grabbed the chance to take this month’s pictures while we were there.
I think we’ve become pros at the ‘look at each other and smile’ type photos, don’t you agree!
Those are always the ones I love the most though, the expressions on our faces always just make me smile so much when I look at them.
August is looking like it’ll be a good month for us, with the school holidays in full swing.
We’ll be heading off to lots more beaches, spending afternoons in the park, doing crafts at the museum and visiting the local art gallery. I’m also hoping for clear skies around my birthday so we can spot some shooting stars during the perseid meteor shower. We let the children stay up last year to try and spot some, but it was quite cloudy and they didn’t manage to see any.
I would really love for them to get to see a couple this year.
What have you got planned for the summer?
