An after-school treat on our first day of term. School hours were reduced this week due to the NATO summit in Newport, so after his first day in my school we nipped down to the beach and enjoyed a white magnum before attempting to skim stones again.

City Coastal Lifestyle says
what flavour was that lolly, can't tell in B&W π Looks like he's enjoying it, we've been licking our way through some late summer ice-creams too!
TheBoyAndMe says
It was a white magnum, yummiest in the world!
Verily Victoria Vocalises says
A lovely photo. He is looking very reflective Contemplating school? π #mysundayphoto
TheBoyAndMe says
Contemplating how to stop the chocolate from falling off.
Coombemill says
the beach and ice cream, a perfect match
TheBoyAndMe says
And a complete must.
Lou's lake Views says
What a perfect way to end your first day back! looks yummy π
TheBoyAndMe says
It definitely was!
tracey @ mummyshire says
What a lovely treat after his first day at school. Lovely photo in B&W it has a more atmospheric feel & you can really see the detail of the lolly melting. I hope you had a lovely afternoon x
#sundayphoto
TheBoyAndMe says
I like the flecks in his hair as well, black and white does different things to photos, doesn't it?
Sarah Bailey says
Beautiful picture and perhaps one of the best things to do by the sea! x
TheBoyAndMe says
A complete must!
John Adams says
I'm a big fan of black and white. Marvellous image. How frustrating must that hvae been to have the kids go back to school only for them to follow reduced hours???
TheBoyAndMe says
I'm a teacher in the same school so was more than happy with the reduced hours. However it must have been quite tricky for some parents. Just one of the issues with having the NATO summit nearby.
Sarah MumofThree World says
What a gorgeous photo. He looks so thoughtful.
TheBoyAndMe says
Nah, he was trying to preserve the broken chocolate covering!
Steph @MisplacedBrit says
A perfect shot for B&W, relaxing with an ice-cream – one of our favorite pass-times π
TheBoyAndMe says
It's one of our favourite pass – times too, before we go playing down on the beach.
Louise says
Lovely photo – he is looking very thoughtful whilst eating his Magnum and gazing out across the sea. Looks great in black and white. Hope the first day back at school went well.
TheBoyAndMe says
He's very thoughtfully working out how not to drop the chocolate from the ice-cream π
The Mummy Diary says
Lovely picture, you are so lucky living near the beach how wonderful to be able to let the sea breeze blow through your hair each day #bwphototproject
TheBoyAndMe says
I really missed the sea when we lived in Reading, I could only last three years and then had to come home.
Kate @ Family Fever says
What a perfect way to finish off a school day. Love the fact The Boy looks lost in thought.
TheBoyAndMe says
He is lost in thought; trying to work out how to stop the chocolate from falling off while sucking the rapidly eating ice-cream! I hate it when the magnum is bashed up when you buy it.
Cathy Glynn says
Lovely photo, looks like he's enjoying that x
TheBoyAndMe says
Who doesn't enjoy a white magnum?
Kirsty Hijacked By Twins says
A lovely picture, the boy looks deep in thought as he enjoys his lolly x #bwphotoproject
TheBoyAndMe says
He was trying not to drop any white chocolate from the ice-cream π
Notmyyearoff says
That looks a perfect little walk to me. Although it would be the almond magnum for me π
TheBoyAndMe says
Oh no, no nuts here! White magnum is his absolute favourite, above all others.
Kriss MacDonald says
Perfect after school treat – ice cream and beach!
TheBoyAndMe says
And such an easy activity to do for us, much better than coming home to watch the television.
Jenny says
Ice cream looking over the beach out onto the water could it get more fantasy then this? hahah Excellent moment to capture. Such a sweet photo of pure childhood memories. Love it. #sundayphoto
TheBoyAndMe says
We're very lucky to live so close to the sea that we can just pop down.
The Good Stuff says
Love it. It brilliantly captures that lost in an ice lolly moment. Like the fact that he is getting to an enjoy an ice lolly while stroppy politicians sit in dark rooms discussing dangerous stuff.
TheBoyAndMe says
It's all about the important things, maybe they should have come down to the beach to skim stones and eat an ice-cream. I bet the issues would have been resolved more easily.
LauraCYMFT says
Sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon after school.
TheBoyAndMe says
One of our favourite ways!
OneDad3Girls says
Beautiful photo, I am a big fan of Magnum ice creams especially the nutty one
Thank you for linking up
TheBoyAndMe says
Oh no, no nuts here. We like the mint ones too.
Iona@redpeffer says
Perfect ice cream for the seaside, and thank goodness for the summit giving you the opportunity to enjoy this moment π
TheBoyAndMe says
It is one of the few things I'm grateful to the summit for!
Rachael says
Ice cream at the beach, perfect! x
Jaime Oliver says
awww i love this honey .. i am glad he also had a super first day x
TheBoyAndMe says
Me too, so relieved. Not like I can go back now he's in my own school!
Ojo Henley says
He looks so thoughtful there, off in his own little world (probably dreaming about more ice cream) x
TheBoyAndMe says
Knowing him that would be about right!!
Neesie says
What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon… making the most of the last days of summer.
Oh now I want a white magnum and I haven't got one π
Enjoy your Sunday
TheBoyAndMe says
We are very partial to them and usually have a quantity in our freezer as well.
chantelle hazelden says
best place to eat an ice cream and how nice to still be able to do at this time of year π
TheBoyAndMe says
We love ice-cream any time of the year, the only issue in Winter is whether or not the kiosk is open!
Maria says
A genius way to end the first day of term! He looks so serene looking out into the water.
TheBoyAndMe says
He does indeed doesn't he? He was too busy trying to stop the chocolate from falling to be noticing anything else
Kim Carberry says
Aww! How adorable! What a lovely photo and a fab treat x
TheBoyAndMe says
We're very lucky to have it so close by that we can nip down when we want.
Super Busy Mum says
What a gorgeous capture, and I bet that lolly was enjoyed rightly! x
My Family Ties says
Ah the sea and an ice cream a perfect recipe! #mysundayphoto
Honest Mum says
Stunning shot, love how natural it is and how contemplative he is-just beautiful!
TheBoyAndMe says
Thank you, these moments are the little ones that are special and mean so much.
Mel says
What a great way to finish his first day! Beautiful shot.
Marylin says
I really miss living by the sea… *sigh* Such a great shot, and what a good way to end his first day! π
