| {iconic Wine-glass Bay at Freycinet} |
Last weekend saw me packing my bags on Friday afternoon and almost skipping out the door to a conference on Tassie's east coast.
Two whole nights away.
Two days of finishing meals, listening to whole conversations, a wilderness walk without carrying all the just-in-case clothes and keep-going snakes for 3 little ones.
Dinner, drinks, late night, sleep-in...

| {we were lucky enough to have drinks and a tour of Saffire} |
Some fascinating and inspiring speakers.
Time to sit and think. To finish thoughts. To just let them swirl in my head and resolve themselves...or not.

Of course I missed home.
I revelled in those first hugs and the tumble of words as they raced to tell me all that had happened.
But I loved being away. Loved it.
And I'm so grateful for the time out of my ordinary life.

Sounds like you had a great break away - so cool to see some landscapes that are close to me! It's a magical part of the earth, no? :)
ReplyDeleteTotally magical - do you go often?
DeleteI wish!! I've got a hankering to be more of a tourist in my own state - that's what holidays are for after all! I usually only get to travel when it's with school kids, so I desperately need to do some travelling sans teenagers soon!
DeleteLove Freycinet. Haven't been to Saffire though, looks good.
ReplyDeleteAt $2100 a night Saffire is still a way off for us...but worth dreaming about
DeleteOh Ally, what a blissful retreat! I am so pleased for you. One day I'll get there...J x
ReplyDeleteHope so Jane
Deletesounds lovely
ReplyDeleteYep :-))
DeleteIt's such a beautiful spot. I haven't been there in years so a visit is on the cards. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it so much :)
ReplyDeleteI always wonder why we leave it so long between visits...hope you get there soon
DeleteAlly, what bliss! Wineglass Bay makes my heart sing! I love "Time to sit and think. To finish thoughts." To finish thoughts - how fulfilling! Elisa xx
ReplyDeleteHere I always feel like I'm chasing conversations, fleeting thoughts, to-do lists....it was just lovely to escape
DeleteI'm sure with three lovely children, your life is anything but ordinary :-)
ReplyDeleteLesley x.
It looks beautiful and sounds nice! I'm sure you need to be away sometimes, just the emotions you get when coming home is worth it. Have a lovely rest of your weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteConversations with grown-ups ... like real whole conversations! Great when you find those again. Place looks beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteYahoooo! I'm going to take a little trip myself soon. I crave some time away. It's not that I don't love my family so very, very much, it's just that I love me too! x
ReplyDeletePS - Can't believe you have Keep Going Snakes as well! x
I thought they were mandatory family excursion food
DeleteWhat a great weekend away you had. You thoroughly deserved it x
