The village has a golf club called West Kilbride Golf Club—full 18-hole course and even a putting green if you're just practicing.

Nearby, you'll find the Seamill Hydro with its restaurant and bars. This hotel that opened in 1880, back when “hydropathic” places were super trendy for like health and wellness stuff. West Kilbride, a short drive away, has shops and more eateries, plus a train station with Glasgow links. And for the dog owners out there, your furry pals are welcome year-round. Don't forget to check out the rock pools at low tide.
Easter Monday: Keeping the Resurrection Spark Alive.
Okay, so Easter Sunday was epic, right? The chocolate coma is probably still real. But hold up, the celebration isn't over! Today is Easter Monday, and it's way more than just a bonus day off school (though, let's be honest, that's a major perk!). It's a continuation of the most mind-blowing event in history: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Think about it: Sunday was the earth-shattering news – He's alive! Monday is like the day the reality really starts to sink in, the echoes of that incredible moment still ringing. While the Bible doesn't give us a play-by-play of what exactly happened on that specific Monday, the spirit of it is all about the aftermath, the dawning realization of what the Resurrection truly means.
One story that totally captures this vibe is the Road to Emmaus, found in Luke 24:13-35. Picture this: two of Jesus' followers are walking, feeling totally gutted and confused after everything that went down. Suddenly, this stranger starts walking alongside them, and they don't even recognize it's Jesus! He breaks down the scriptures for them, explaining how the Messiah had to suffer and rise again. It's not until he breaks bread with them that their eyes are opened. Boom! It's Him! This story is pure Easter Monday feels – the gradual understanding, the presence of Jesus even when we don't realize it, and the joy that explodes when we finally get it.
Happy Sunday, everyone. I Hope you're all enjoying a peaceful day. My weekend took an unexpected and absolutely delightful turn yesterday.
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 Largs Yacht Haven, another picturesque spot, followed by a brief visit to a bustling largs 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.
