Exploring the Gower

So last monday the sun was out and we felt like a proper little adventure, a day trip to somewhere new and The Gower popped into our head. This is a lovely stretch of coastline just past Swansea city centre but feels like you are miles away with quaint seaside villages, delis and beautiful views. We have been meaning to go for way to long and although both John and I have explored this part of Wales before we have not done so with Mr A in tow as it was around an hour and half drive but with the prospect of beach time Mr A couldn't wait.

As always it's lovely to have a day without any rushing involved, we stayed on the beach until after 6pm, building sandcastles with moats, looking in rock pools and enjoyed some olives, pizza and ice-cream up on a cliff top bar overlooking Bracelet Bay. It was simply one of those lovely summer days spent with the family, you can't get better than that.
