Happy Sunday, everyone. I Hope you're all enjoying a peaceful day. My weekend took an unexpected and absolutely delightful turn yesterday.
Originally we planned a day out with a friend from Ukraine on Friday, but life happens, and my amazing partner shifted things to Saturday. And what a Saturday it was!
Our adventure began by picking up our friend and her little one, and our first stop was a magical Easter event for her child. Imagine an Easter bunny hunt with clues… at a real castle! We spent the morning exploring Dundonald Castle, a historic castle that I can't wait to share more about in my next post (stay tuned for those castle pics!). Guiding the little explorer through the clues to find the Easter Bunny was such a joy.
From Dundonald castle, we journeyed to the refreshing Seamill Beach. The coastal views were stunning. We spent a lovely time by the water, with little hands and I excitedly collecting stones along the shore. Of course, there were plenty of photos captured to remember the moment. A little picnic of oranges, apples, and other treats kept our energy levels up.
But the day wasn't over yet. Next on our itinerary was the incredible Kelburn Castle and Estate. Let me tell you, this place was the highlight. I am bursting to share the unique beauty and charm of Kelburn with you all very soon. Trust me, it's something special.
Our exploration continued to the Larg Yacht Haven, another picturesque spot, followed by a brief visit to a bustling large city center. By this point, the Scottish chill was definitely setting in.
We then made our way back, dropped off our friend and her little one, and made a quick pit stop at Tesco for some essentials before finally heading home. My legs were definitely feeling the effects of all the walking, especially around the castle grounds, but honestly, it was all worth it for such a memorable day.
Today, being Sunday, has been much more relaxed. I enjoyed some inspiring preaching and even shared some style posts earlier. Now, I'm soaking up the last of the sunshine, recharging for the week ahead.
I'm curious, what are your plans for today? Wishing you all a lovely and restful Sunday.

ReplyDeleteI am waiting for more information and photos, because what you are telling is very promising and interesting.
For us the day was calm, the weather was beautiful, we were walking in the forest. Green, spring and cheerful with birdsong.
I wish you all the best, warm regards.
You had such a lovely time too. We also experienced walking in nature. Later yesterday, we had to go for dinner at a family friend's house, and it was such a beautiful time. Loved it.
DeleteHi Melody!
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy that you had a nice time :) My Easter is family and church. I was with my parents in church on Good Friday, I was yesterday to bless the food and today at Mass. In my house yesterday there were still final preparations for Christmas. Today we had breakfast: I, my parents and my aunt.
Melody, my good friend, I wish you a good new week!
Thank you so much, Anna. I am glad that you got to spend it with your family.

ReplyDeleteMy holiday was beautiful, sunny, so the day was full of joy, peace and delight in everyday life. May there be more such beautiful days.
Thank you, Pani. I'm glad you had a sunny day, and I wish you a beautiful and blessed Easter Monday.
DeleteIt sounds like a wonderful day was had by all! Spending time with friends is always a joy. We went for a walk in the sculpture park with our friends today, followed by a drink on the museum café's terrace. xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day. Thank you.
DeleteI so look forward to your posts on these terrific places! We celebrated Easter with the kids on Saturday and more of that coming this week. But all good! It sounds like a perfect expedition and how wonderful to spend time with a friend and with a child too. That ramps it up in the fun department, doesn't it! I'm glad your Easter was so lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou had a lovely Easter celebration. I had already shared one of the posts, our stop at seamill beach.
DeleteThanks for the suggestions Melody. By the way, your previous blog posts about Nigerian women's 'wedding dresses' are closed for comments. Why are comments closed? Nigerian women look so elegant in those dresses. They also had a mermaid look. :) Happy Easter. ✔💕🍀🎁🌹😊
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't want to read the comments, but I'm so glad you mentioned them. They're lovely.
DeleteOlá, querida amiga Melody!
ReplyDeleteO domingo junto à natureza foi um grande presente em meio à confraternização familiar entre nós aqui.
Tenha uma Oitava de Páscoa abençoada!
Beijinhos festivos pascais
Happy Easter, Roselia.
