292. Master Of The Land (We spent the afternoon at Dunraven Castle ruins and gardens at Southerndown, one of my favourite beaches. We climbed up into the remaining tower where we spotted the most amazing view over the rugged coastline, crashing waves and the manicured gardens. I can only imagine what it would have looked like 'back in the day'.)
293. Bubble Blower (A very horribly long day, 8am start and 8pm finish after parents' evening. I arrived back in time for The Boy's bath where we spent ages blowing bubbles.)
294. Crashed Out (Nothing more exciting than a cuddle on the sofa while watching tv. Will this half-term ever end?)
295. Puppet Pal (We managed to fit in some craft after school today, an absolute miracle considering how shattered we both are.)
296. Zonked (Another horrendously long parents' evening with me getting home at 8pm. A quick cuddle and a kiss and The Boy was straight into bed.)
297. Splash (A perfect end to the longest half-term in the entire world; a wade into the oncoming tide to kick the waves. And those wellies were perfectly waterproof; they kept the water in wonderfully.)
298. Birdman (During the Summer months we tend to spend our outdoor time on the beach, but during the Winter it can be a little bit less cold to pop to the nature reserve and feed the swans. And The Boy was more than happy to try out his new colour-changing coat – review to follow in the week.)

Love that paddling picture. My Harry would try to swim in it I'm sure.
Sounds like you've had a lovely half term, ours is just starting

I love the Dunraven castle picture. I'm been saying this week that I must take my boy to South Wales on a trip soon.
geekmummy says
That castle photo is truly stunning, I really love it!
Kara says
Your first photo at the castle is simply stunning, you are right to have that stood out from the rest! The picture of the Boy in the sea is amazing too! Look like it has been a good week – did you have half term this week?

Thank you, they're my favourite too.

Hope your weeks start calming down after half term. 8pm sound so long. I love visualising how people used to live in castles. Must have been such a grand existence.
Angela Spicer says
Enjoy Half Term, sounds like you all need it.
Rachael Buzzel says
That first picture is lovely, I adore exploring places like this. Absolutely loving the wading in the waves picture too, stunning! What a lovely part of the world you live in. x
Steph @MisplacedBrit says
Wow wow wow! In this moment of wonder, I may well be forgetting multiple awesome shots that you've taken before… But your first shot 'Master of the Land' that is absolutely stunning!! …All other shots vanish in that one! Really beautiful!
…Do you feel like a photo a day is paying off when you see the results? It's seems to me your weekly reviews just get better and better 🙂

Love your splash photo. Amazing!

I love the Dunraven Castle picture what a great shot. Thank goodness for half term, I think we're all feeling like this the last few days.
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
Love the first photo, and the one of The Boy wading into the sea is fabulous. Wonderful happy photos with the crafts and the swan x
suzanne3childrenandit says
I really love that top photograph – so atmospheric. Really hope you both enjoy the half term break. I know that we are all desperate need of some time off!
Jaime Oliver says
nothing like a welly filler paddle! lol .. love the mid jump shot 🙂
Michelle Twin Mum says
That first picture is one to treasure forever, so very interesting looking out the castle window and seeing the vew, great capture. Mich x
HPMcQ says
love the photo of the boy standing in all that water, it looks so inky and endless
OneDad3Girls says
I wonder what was going through the Boy's head when he was looking out of the castle?
The splash photo is just perfect
76sunflowers says
Day 292 & 297 I wonder what he's thinking? Love these pics 🙂
Menai says
I love a window arch /view shot. What a lovely lot – it's the holidays now!
Emma T says
Loving the castle shot – great framing. And the sea photo – brave boy – n wouldn't go anywhere near that deep! Guess that's what comes with living near the sea and being used to it.
Elaine Livingstone says
love the waterproof wellies, a colour changing coat sounds intriguing. I agree the beach can be cold in the winter, but nice in its own way.
Stacey Guilliatt (Nobody Said It Was Easy) says
Love the last shot 🙂
