Dunure

This morning we had no plans to do anything - which has really been a first these summer holidays, what with various play dates etc - and since G and I were both off work, we decided to head out together for a few hours. The weather looked decent so we packed up the mini barbecue and set off for Dunure, a pretty little fishing village on the Ayrshire Coast....

 

 

The ruins of Dunure Castle...

 

 

Miss M and I enjoyed looking for beach treasures...

 

 

While G attended to the barbecue...

 

 

I enjoyed a cuppa with a gorgeous view...

 

 
After lunch we wandered around, just enjoying this lovely little village and beach on a summers day.
 
It was a few hours really well spent!

    Wonderful pictures,scenery and weather!! We had rain in Wales so just a teeny bit jealous of your BBQ as opposed to damp egg butties on our picnic.

    One of my favourite places for a little day out. There's a labyrinth there too, we only discovered it last time we were there. Those sausages look tasy!

    What an interesting place. I would love to go too. I bet the coffee and sausages tasted even better out there.

    Wonderful pics and happy memories of a family day out - and I love your 'button' mug, Marianne. I also like the contrast of the feather against the rugged sturdy rock. Enjoy your week, xoJoy

    Food always tastes so much better when cooked and eaten outdoors. Don't know why but it does! We'll be visiting Scotland soon - can't wait.

    It looks like such a pretty spot, in some dramatic coastline. I love the deep blues of the sky and greens of the seaweed, the colours are really strong. And those sausages sizzling in that pan look so good! x
