Three Cliffs Bay

To celebrate mine and my friend Eli's birthdays this year we decided to go on a day trip to Three Cliffs Bay in The Gower. We had it planned for ages but as it got closer to the date we realised the weather wasn't going to be on our side. But, we bit the bullet and went anyway and I am so glad we did. 

When we arrived into swansea it was absolutely hammering down with rain and we thought we had made a big mistake dragging all of our fiends on a soggy day trip. However, luck was on our side and once we got out of the cars the rain stopped and we got to enjoy a lovely few hours on the beach. 

I had never been to The Gower before but it has now become one of my favourite places in the UK and I will definitely be going back this summer when the weather is a little nicer. It was so peaceful and beautiful and I came away feeling so relaxed and happy. 

Throw Back Thursday - Plymouth

A few months ago I went to visit my Brother and his Girlfriend at University in Plymouth. Although it looks like the middle of summer in these photos it was absolutely freezing but I couldn't help getting my camera out and taking a few pictures. These are just a few of my favourites.

Breakfast in Clevedon

One of my favourite things to do is go out for breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning, so a few weeks ago we decided to head down the motorway to Clevedon for a change of scenery.  I love the seaside (even though this isn't the real sea but the river Severn estuary) so it was lovely to find a little cafe on the sea front to have our breakfast. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on granary bread which was amazing as you might be able to tell from the photo. After breakfast we had a look around a few of the little shops and then headed home, it was a very relaxing Sunday indeed!

Let's go to the beach

In July I went to Charleston, South Carolina for three weeks (it ended up being four weeks but that is a whole other story!) to spend some time with my boyfriend and his family. I took these pictures on an evening walk along Folly Beach. It was such a peaceful place and there was so much amazing wildlife I couldn't help but snap away. I took hundreds of photos but these are just a few of my favourites. I am a massive Nicholas Sparks fan and a lot of his books are set around the Carolina coast so I was especially excited to see a Loggerhead Turtle nesting area like he writes about in 'The Last Song'.

This part of the beach had just been reopened to the public after hurricane Irene swept most of the sand off the beach and tore down some of the original structures. It really was beautiful and I am very grateful that I got a chance to visit.
