A Week in Wales :: the last day

Hello Lovelies,

Here is my last holiday post for 2014 :0)

On the final day of our lovely week in Wales we decided to head to Abersoch, and were delighted to find this pretty, sheltered beach.......

Mr BM said it looked like a Greek cove and I could see what he meant.

Maybe we should have set up camp here, but I was keen to explore further.

We past garages for speed boats.........

But thankfully the gorgeous natural harbour was not full of noisy pleasure craft..............

This was such a photogenic spot in the morning sunshine......I loved the rotting boat hull......

All the buoys and the colourful old tractors pulling fishing boats around..........

This older vessel, with is bright red paintwork, looked wonderful..............

They had special tractors for launching boats, which was fun to watch..............

It was just such a picturesque, idyllic spot on a sunny morning..............

After a while we came to this bench............

and sat down to enjoy the view.............

The Hawthorn bushes were full of berries and many Sparrows were enjoying a feast..........

We wandered further, through the busy village and out onto another larger beach. It was also a very boaty spot............

I loved the view out towards the two islands, St Tudwal's East and West .............

and the higgledy piggledy beach huts which lined the back of the beach............

It was very windy on this beach so we headed back into the village. There were lots of nice shops to browse and I had to smile at this vintage bicycle outside one...............

For some reason I had forgotten to pack a picnic on this day, so rather than pay out for lunch....never cheap for five.....we headed back to the car.

On the way we spotted this amazing new house.................

it's got private beach access and this wonderful view................

I even found it for sale HERE, if you fancy a look inside :0)

We were happy to drive "home" down the leafy lane.............

To our old stone cottage.................

After  a simple lunch I wandered  the garden a while............

It was such a peaceful and beautiful, secluded spot.

I could have lazed there for the rest of the day, but then again the beach always calls when the sun shines. We drove back along the narrow roads of the western Llyn, past loads of sheep and wide open views............

To our MOST favourite beach................

Who could not love PORTH OER.................

This final visit was our third and I do hope we will get back to this beautiful place one day.

Finally I'll just share our pebble painting....... I did this one of a seagull on Criccieth beach......



And middle son did this one of the same beach......looking across at Snowdonia. I didn't make any suggestions as to what he might paint and was truly thrilled when I saw what he had chosen........

I will treasure it for a LONG time.

Thank you for reading and all the wonderful comments you have left me on these holiday posts....I love to read them all and I feel lucky to have such kind readers who really do seem like kindred spirits to me.
