It’s not long until our summer holiday when we’re off glamping for a week near the sea, riding on trains and other fun stuff! I can’t wait to pack our trunkis, choose some favourite toys and go. We’re all very excited to have a change of scenery and see family before school starts again.
I have a very lovely towelling cover up to giveaway to a reader of treading on lego today. Cover ups are perfect for the beach when children are running in and out of the sea, great for keeping little people warm or just brilliant beach or swimming pool wear.
It’s 100% cotton and machine washable, very practical and in nautical blue and white stripes with a jaunty red anchor. It also has a handy hood which will ensure your little one will be cosy whilst having fun. This cover up is for 3-6 years.
Giveaway:
I have one nautical cover up for age 3-6 years to giveaway to one reader of treading on lego. For your chance to win leave me a comment telling me your favourite beach or outdoor space. As a Londoner mine has to be London’s Southbank!

Tentsmuir Beach in Fife, it is between Tayport and Leuchars on the road to St. Andrews. Really beautiful. You need £2 to gain access through the automatic gate on the private roadway. Takes £1 and £2 coins. We go along the path for 20 or so minutes walk and that gets you away from any crowds, if it is a nice day. Just watch out for the herd of cows that wander amongst the sand dunes!

My favourite beach is Praia Tres Irmaos, Alvor in Portugal! It’s a long sweep of golden sand, perfect for walking, building sandcastles and swimming. An added bonus is the number of child friendly restaurants where you can sit and watch the sun set while sipping sangia!
