Sunday walk in beautiful Gower

This weekend we were woken up by glorious sunshine pouring in through the windows of our little seaside flat. It was the perfect weather for an escape to the countryside and so we grabbed our sunglasses, mum and dad and jumped into the cars for a short ride into Gower.

For all the love we have for European adventures and exploring new parts of the world, it's weekends like this one that make us realise how lucky we are to call this beautiful peninsula home. Wandering our way around the clifftop path, we were treated to incredible views, lush (in the true sense of the word) green fields, followed by the the bluest of blue waters below.

It was so lovely being outside in the sunshine, enjoying spending time with our family and making each other smile. Mum and I took photos and gossiped, Dad and Mr. O talked football results and caught each other up on their latest work adventures. We clowned about like kids and let the sea breezes blow away all of the cobwebs, feeling fully refreshed for the new week ahead.

Bundling back into our cars, we headed home for bowls of Dad's famous chicken soup, reminding me of the Sunday evenings of my childhood, when we'd come home from a walk and enjoy a supper of tomato soup in front of 'The Borrowers'.

The perfect end to a perfect day.
