109. We went to Porthkerry Park so we could have lunch on the beach using the Kelly Kettle. I intended for us to have foil-wrapped jacket potatoes heated up over the fire and hot chocolate ladened with marshmallows. This would have been great if the fire would have lit properly, but it was so windy that the flames kept blowing out. Thank God I'd already cooked the potatoes in the microwave before we went, they were still slightly warm and everyone loves cold potato yes? My husband did eventually manage to get the flames lit and enjoyed warm chocolate!
110. After school volcanoes!
111. You know it's been a long day when it's a sleeping boy photo.
112. The clifftop park again. Beautifully sunny day and The Boy managed to swing himself along five of the monkey bars.
113. A school friend's party at Parc Play in Cardiff, it's such a great place to play in the sunshine as there is an outdoor sand area, zip wire, indoor covered area with a wooden play fort, and no padded scaffolding softplay in sight! Plus, t-shirt and shorts? Yay!
114. I love that we spend time after school playing in the garden, it makes me realise how boring out Winter has been.
115. Playing in the garden again, we set up a Coombe Mill playzone although we all really wish that we were there! Been a bit meh today so need to get out and about today!
And as an aside, congratulations to my husband on completing his first and only 365 project; he's vowed never again!

Well there is one winning photo there for me, OK the beach one is good too!
Those Kelly kettle thingies look really good. Jacket potatoes on the beach are yummy.
Your week in photos has inspired me 🙂
Bummer the flames didn't light for your potatoes, but that was a great idea. I'd love to take the little ones out and do that.
Love the volcano and the sand play.
Thanks for hosting 365, and wishing you a wonderful Sunday.
Isn't it lovely to see blue skies again? Gorgeous pics. Like the idea of a home-made volcano!
Nothing wrong with meh days and tuff spot play is fab 🙂 Intrigued by that Kelly kettle!
What a shame about the windy weather – that Kelly kettle sounds great! Well done on the forward planning. Loving the volcano and the Coombemill scene 🙂
Great pictures. Love the playzone ones & the little figures in the garden. Great week x
Love the Coombe Mill tuff spot, think we might try that today! The beach photo is gorgeous too with the blue sky behind.
We had the same problem with our Kelly Kettle, on day we will get the hang of it. Love your Coombemill set up!
The kelly kettle looks fab. Such a shame it was too windy! We so need to get a tuff spot for garden play and messy play! Great photo's as usual. x
love how you improvised on the beach with your jacket spuds
Love the idea of the kelly kettle on the beach. You're so right about winter being boring. It really is isn't it?
I'm yet to do volcanoes with the girls, I was meant to do it a while ago as they done them at school, on my to do list!! Lots of lovely photos and lots of smiles too. Oh and well done to your hubby 😉
The fire may not have been a success but the photo certainly was!
Lovely pictures, it is a shame that the potatoes didn't go to plan. The volcano looks fun 🙂 x
Love the volcano shot but my favourite has to be Coombe Mill, just love this. We've had something on a smaller scale here recently too.
well done you for pre cooking the potatoes, they always taste better when eaten outdoors like that so I doubt it mattered if they were slightly cold.
Sounds like a lovely trip to the beach even if the potatoes weren't hot .. glad you got the hot chocolate hot though!
How awesome taking your kelly kettle along, least you managed some hot chocolate ;).
The Volcanoes look like fun,
Great photos 🙂 x
Great pictures. Looks like a fun week!
your day 111 was still more successful than mine! great pictures, looks like a happy week.
I love you beach photo, really cool shot. Well done to your hubby but funny that he won't be doing it again!!
love the coombe mill play area, what brilliant imagination.
Oh dear at the cold potatoes, but great thinking to precooked them, cold is one thing raw is another…lol
Good grief is that really a year hubby has been at it
The party sounds a bit different.
Lovely summery photos – hurrah for most days not being so very long and for happy Coombe Mill memories. Bravo for beach bravery. Wish me luck with first camping (in the garden) coming up next weekend. I have been over to congratulate your husband – great result!
I love the idea of using the kelly kettle to heat up baked potatoes – a pity it didn't work. Loving the volcano shot.
Great photos, looks like you have had a really interesting and fun week
Stunning, happy photos. Lovely post.
what a beautiful collectuion of photos celebrating the gorgeous weather we have been having. that cooker thing you bought MrTBaM is fab what a great idea! I love him playing with the Coombemill inspired table activity! x
Great photos, love the Coombe Mill playzone!
It's one of our favourite places to visit, either big world or small world.
