Hello my loves, how are you all doing so far this week? I have lots of photos and videos to share with you today, from the third full week in August. It was another busy week with family in the area, and then Gareth came over for a visit and we had some fun days out as well.

On the Tuesday I went to Nancy's for lunch with my Mum, sister and
niece, and then spent the rest of the day down at the shore with them.
It was a pretty wet day, so mostly we stayed in and played games, but we
did get manage to get out for a walk to the beach as well. There was an
extreme high tide, which combined with stormy seas made for some
spectacular wave watching. Which is always a fun pastime!

What the sign says!
Gareth arrived early on the Thursday morning, and later that night I
hosted a dinner party at mine for my family. I do like an excuse to host
and set a fancy table! The next day we all went to Wild Ireland in
Burnfoot for the day. Gareth and I had been there before, but it was a
first for my Mum, sister and niece. They all loved it, as I knew they
would. If you're in the area, I highly recommend Wild Ireland for a day
out, whether you have children or not! You can find out more HERE. We
spent the day exploring, managing to avoid most of the rain, and
brought a picnic with us for lunch. Afterwards we stopped at the Drift
Inn in Buncrana for a drink, and then on to the Ballyliffin Townhouse
for a nice meal.

On the Saturday, my family were traveling back to England, and Gareth
kindly drove them to Derry airport, putting up with our Disney singalong
the whole way, haha. We said goodbye and then went to explore Derry a
bit. Gareth recently got a new job and I wanted to treat him to
celebrate. First we had an absolutely incredible meal at Pyke 'N'
Pommes, which I had heard many good things about. All true, as far as I
can tell! I'd go back just for the loaded chips. You can see more about
Pyke 'N' Pommes HERE.

After that Gareth and I went for a walk around the Derry Walls so he
could take in some of the sights. He has never had a chance to explore
Derry before, so we definitely need to go back and spend more time
another day. We went to the cinema later on to see Deadpool &
Wolverine, and then stopped at the Point Inn for a drink on the way
home. It was a fun day out, as it always is with Gareth.
