18. Master Builder (A trip to Barry Island to attempt to make another sandcastle with a moat and trench which fills up from the sea, and this time we had success. So much so that within thirty minutes the moat was filled, and fifteen minutes later the castle was washed away clean. All that hard work!)
19. First one (The Boy had a friend around for tea after school, and I took them to the park to run off some energy before dinner. And lo and behold, there was a daisy presented to me, the first one of the year.)
20. Shattered (A big cuddle on the sofa after school is all either of us could cope with!)
21. Smiley (His smiley face in the morning is just what I need to give me the strength to get through the day.)
22. Bed hair (This is what I normally have to contend with when getting him ready for school, his hair does its own thing!)
23. Bookworm (Reading to himself in his book nook, something amused him.)
24. Golden house (We popped down to the beach for an hour or so, blow the cobwebs away, and the tide was out further than I've seen it in quite some times. We actually went all the way past the end of the pier by about 20-30 yards; something I've never done before. This is why we have the second highest tidal range in the world. )
Love the castle and moat shot. Totally rocking. Is there a filter on that? The effect is awesome either way
Took it on my phone and ran it through Snapseed with a HDR filter, it was a boring shot beforehand.
That castle is amazing and love the bed head shot! The last picture has gorgeous lighting xx
That is an amazing sandcastle! I love the photo of him reading his books.
So is your tidal range even bigger than Weston-s-M's?
We're opposite so it's the same, second after Nova Scotia I think? 14 metres.
So nice that you live close to the beach. That sandcastle is really impressive, especially with the moat. Sometimes there is nothing nicer than a big cuddle in front of the TV.
That is an incredible sandcastle and moat! Harry gets terrible bed hair when he is due a cut.
Master Builder… Love that shot 🙂
You guys seem to be at the beach nearly every week – it's fantastic that you're there that much. So many people live close to beaches and never really get to them anyway… Self included!
oh my goodness, that sky line is breathtaking! amazing photo.
Love the filter / effects on the top one and you are selling Barry Island to me, as always – still have Gavin and Stacey in my head every time it's mentioned though 😉
That boy's smile is definitely a good one for cheering up. Hugs x
I love how much you both adore the beach, wish we were closer to one for the kids to enjoy.
Awesome bed hair!!!!
Loving the bed hair – we have the same problem except for a week or 2 after a barber's visit. Your comments about tidal ranges have set me off googling – learnt some new stuff today which is always good.
That first castle shot literally took my breathe away – what a beautiful photo!
Love the castle shot! Angry clouds in the background.
Love the sandcastle photo, sounds like a busy week
Wow the first picture is stunning. I love the lighting and not to mention the huge sandcastle! x
Love the bed head picture! We have so much unruly hair in this house too #project365
Lovely photos from the week, loving the castle and moat. The sky looks really dramatic! x
Oh wow, I love the castle and moat shot, that is amazing, and you must have had such fun building it too =)
That sandcastle is amazing, shame it washed away so quickly.
LOVE that sandcastle picture! And how lovely to see the first daisy of the year – Spring is on the way 🙂
I love the sandcastle picture and the filter you used!
That's a great sandcastle! Gorgeous photos.
Love first shot and your explanation above how you created it! Wonderful smiles on the boy this week!
I have to say that sand castle is by far the best I have ever seen! .. its epic! I also love the bed head, Joshua's hair is the same way every morning lol
That is a very cool sand castle. Love the one of him reading x
I love the hair!! 🙂 That's an impressive sandcastle and love the sky in that pic too.
That picture on the beach is so atmospheric. I would love to live nearer the sea, so special in the winter months. The Boy has such a cute little phase and love his bed hair!
That is one epic sandcastle!!! Love the moody sky in the background
Loving the photos especially the first one and the bed hair one. My son always has bed hair and never lets me fix it for him, he says he likes it messy lol x
Fantastic photos! The sandcastle is amazing! Lovely seeing him reading….He looks so happy x
Really love these beach shots, you capture them nicely.
And he looks so chilled out there getting stuck in to that book 🙂
love the beach photos – you have been getting down there a lot at the moment – well done 🙂 I need to take the boys again as they cannot wait to make sandcastles again
a daisy – wow that seems very early. i saw some snowdrops earlier but no daisies! x
That is an awesome sandcastle! And I just adore the shot of him reading – you can't beat the joy of books.
I love the sandcastle, saw it on instagram yesterday. What a beautiful day it was.
Stop posting so many beach photos, the children keep asking to go to the beach!! Think bed head is a boy thing, we have four of them most days!! Or maybe its because the girls know how to use a hairbrush…
The Sandcastle photo is just gorgeous.
That sandcastle is well impressive! Love the bed hair.
Joining in with the 365 linky for the first time this week. I figure I'll have a better chance of completing it if I'm with a group!
I love the picture with the sandcastle. What fun.
I must say your photos are amazing, I love the first one. Wow first daisy already that is insane I didn't think they came up until April time lol.
That's a very impressive castle and moat! I love his face on the book reading one 🙂
I love that first shot – stunning!
Love the bed hair too, I have the same issue with my little lad 🙂 x
These photo's are great. I especially love the castle and moat one and the sunset one! They are fab. The Boy always looks so happy bless him. Awe, daisys 🙂
Love the sandcastle photo! It looks so amazing 🙂 Haha I have to deal with bed hair too from my little boy! There is just nothing that can be done some days 🙂
Love the book nook and castle to conquer all other castles. The bed hair reminded me to capture the everyday that I want to remember – thank you!
what a great way to build a moat round your castle, shame it got washed away.
A daisy this early in the year? that is a surprise.
That smile would brighten any bodys morning.
Love the relaxed pose for his reading.
Lovethe castle one but the reading one is cute too x
Love the first shot, and the filter is fab. The bed head one made me chuckle 🙂 Love the sunlight in the last photo x
Great sandcastle! We went to the beach on Sunday but didn't make anywhere near such a large castle! Loving the bed head, my son's looks like this in the morning at the moment too!
Beautiful pictures, I love the sandcastle!
Barry Island is one of the best places for castle building. Many happy memories held of ours being washed away.
Amazing photos. The first picture is just stunning xx
Fantastic sandcastle 🙂 And I love the Golden House shot – stunning x
I don't think I commented on this one. Agree with everyone that first picture is just fabulous! #project365
The first and last photos are amazing – love the castle and moat!
