Growing up by the North Devon coast, I have always had a great fondness of the seaside for everything it represents. So many cherished memories of my childhood have revolved around being at the beach as a family, running about, playing games and enjoying the freedom that the vast space offers. I love everything from the feeling of sand moving between your toes to the chilly, tentative first steps into the shallow water's edge.
My husband Eddy has always shared my love of the coast. A water baby himself, he grew up with a great fascination of the sea which, in turn, led to his great love of surfing. It is little surprise therefore that our children are miniature water babies and Noah particularly loves being at the beach. During the summer, most weekends have found us packing up the buckets and spades, crabbing nets and wellies and heading off to the coast to explore its richness in the hopes of finding treasure.
We are quite spoilt in how accessible a day trip to the seaside is for us but we try not to take it forgranted when we do visit. It’s an educational playground for children where they can learn about so much nature has to offer. From dodging jellyfish to crabbing in the rock pools, our family has tried many an activity on the shores of the Devon coast. We try to teach Noah to be respectful of the various fish and little creatures we discover along the way and I really feel his fascination is growing as he finds confidence in such an exciting world.
When it comes to our sea-side adventures, Joules have it completely covered. From their wellies to their rain coats, I always feel confident that the showery British summer won’t stop our play. With little ones to consider, we have to ‘cover all basis’ when we take the kids out to the coast. As mummy, it is normally my task to make sure we have all our day trip essentials on hand when we are loading up our car. Often it will look like a pile of contradictions: I will pack our sunscreen sprays next to our rain coats and wellies, our warm jumpers and socks alongside our towels and bathing suits. But that is why I love Joules, they know exactly what summer holidays in Britain necessitate and their designs are beautifully versatile for unpredictable weather.
With Autumn beginning to creep around the corner, I know our summer Joules pieces will takes us into the next season perfectly. Joule’s clothing is, in my mind, effortlessly stylish yet practical for a lively young family like ours. They allow movement and ensure protection from the elements, aiding little (and grown up) explorers to seek adventure in the great outdoors.
We have created a video which we would love you to watch. To me, it really represents why I love Joules and what it allows us as a family to do together. So why not pop the kettle on and settle down to join us on the North Devon coast!
Love Bunty
