We ventured down to Llangrannog and saw nature in all her rawness and beauty and the noise of crashing waves...fantastic,even magical if you like that sort of thing which I do.
As you know my little man calls that rock "Godzilla" and by goodness it was being hammered by all the sea could throw at it, obviously the tide was in but we have often walked over the other side of that rock, well days like today made that last walk seem a long time ago.
We sat on a bench in a shelter whilst pupster ran and woofed at the waves and it was simply , yes I know I said it before....beautiful...... The sky was light grey and it seemed very dark... I haven't seen a blue sky for ages. We only saw two other people like us venturing out for a bit of fresh air. The air was definitely fresh.
We stayed about 40 mins just watching, we didn't even grab a coffee, a bit chilled we decided to get pupster home to dry him properly (yes even if it was freezing he took a dip) . Five minutes later we were home , Dextie dried , fire on and oh so cosy again. I needed that break and we decided we should try to make more of an effort to go to this beach more often in the winter as it is so peaceful and in a chilly, wet sort of windy way recharges you.
Last night this was tea...DH makes the batter ...I did the rest..good old comfort food.
Toad in the hole, sausages wrapped
in dry cured bacon
and lashings of onion gravy
This is "Daddy size portions"
Keep warm and safe
I hope Henry behaves himself.
Well as much as a storm can!
I have always wondered what toad in a hole was! :)
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a stormy day at the beach I reckon.
It is one our favourites though the name wouldn't suggest it would it? Love the beach whatever the weather xx
DeleteI love walking by the beach in the winter, especially when it is windy and the sea crashes against the cliff here! Dinner looks yummy, comfort food is the best!! x
ReplyDeleteYes to both.... It nearly blew us over it was so windy, very rosy cheeks as a result.xx
DeleteIt's nice to get some fresh sea air this time of year. We are walking locally daily - we even have SUNSHINE today - and hope to have an outing later in the week once our car is back from running repairs.
ReplyDeleteThe toad in the hole looks very tasty.
Hope the car wasn't too expensive .....I cannot remember the last sunshine here that lasted longer than a hour! Xxx
DeleteOh - that toad in the hole looks GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI do love it , tradition winter grub xx
DeleteYummyxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle xx

It was and I think it will be on the menu again next week ..any excuse ha ha
DeleteGreat photos. I love the sea, here we are about as far away as a person can be from it. Toad in the hole, I had forgotten how good it is. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe sea always has drawn me, hence moving here ..never get bored rain or shine looking at it and hearing it.xxx
DeleteWow. Dexter is brave! I have read of Toad in the Hole. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteHa ha..he has the brain of a puppy hence the name "pupster" he ran into it and oh the look on his face when he realised it was freezing.....happy wet days xxx
Deletethere's a nice meal, never had mine with bacon wrapped sausages.
ReplyDeleteIt just gives it a different slant and the kids love bacon so we tried it out a few years ago and nearly always do it the pigs in blanket way now.xx
DeleteThe perfect sort of dinner after a windy blowy walk at the beach!!! xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, yummy comfort food, what winter was made for.xxx
DeleteWe have 'poor man's roast dinner' most Sundays but as a vegetarian I use non-meat sausages - Hubby is also partial to a deep Yorkshire pudding filled with curry!
ReplyDeleteYours sounds yummy too, huge yorkshires are just calling out to be filled with yummy food aren't they? Xx

ReplyDeleteLooks like Dexie had fun!
ReplyDeleteWe love toad in the hole, and as vegetarians, we too eat it with non-meat sausages! It's one of our fav meals, I just hate the time it takes to prep and cook it!

We share making it so not too bad..I am rubbish at mixing the batter to get it just right hence DH does that but then he can't make "proper" gravy so between us we do ok....xxx
