Goodbye Summer

I think this is my last summery post. We are firmly now into Autumn and I can allow myself to get excited about soft socks, hot water bottles and pumpkins. But before I get into that, how adorable does Molly look with the wind in her hair!?? I feel like the weather really shows off every time we go up there. Although the landscape looks perfect in any weather. We've really made the most of Britain this summer, with long walks and beach days. It's definitely helped make me more enthusiastic about the long wet nights ahead. 

Also; Molly's new boots arrived while we were in Dolgellau! We let her choose the colour this time..

September in Meirionnydd

We lucked out on the weather again when we went to Dolgellau in early September. We spent all three days at the beach. I was still refusing to allow myself to contemplate autumn and thought another getaway was what Molly and I needed. We are desperate to bring Klaus but with mine and Jamie's schedules being so busy we just haven't managed to have the time off together for a while. Next time, K-man will be coming too. Anyhow we took Grandma for a picnic and enjoyed some rock pools before having the biggest meal. I'm still thinking about that cheesecake.

Teeny tiny feet.

My mum was in hospital on the first day Molly and I were in Gwynedd so we met up with one of my oldest and dearest friends. We had cake for second breakfast (I had the most incredible Rhubarb pie, I'm still fantasizing about it). And then went up to Rowan's family home halfway up a mountain to join some other new and old friends for a vegan lunch in the sunshine. I could move straight into this place. Other than the fact that I have a lot of memories here, I appreciate it in a new way after years of city living. 

^^ I want to move into this shed- I won't even need insulation ;)

We ended the day at the beach. I had not dressed for the swimming as it had been freezing when we got up, but Molly had a great time until the tide came in. 

^^ I'd also happily spend my summers in here. From having spent nights in the one on the far left I can tell you that they are surprisingly spacious!
