Hello everyone.....I'm back from my very relaxing break. Of course you know there will be those boring holiday snaps...I did try and limit them and collage a few so as not to send you all scurrying away.We stayed at our go to spot for a laid back break...."Beautiful Bruns" as the locals call Brunswick Heads in Northern NSW.
We had lots of lovely freshly caught fish dinners...
BLTs at our favourite cafe "The Terrace" such a friendly bunch and delicious food.
Treated ourselves to the "best" burger I have had in a long time at the Bangalow Hotel....
Do you ever say "must visit there" and never do because it is close to home? We have said that about Cape Byron for ages so we decided we had waited long enough..
It's our most easterly point....
It really was a glorious day and you could see for miles.
Two humpback whales, mother and calf delighted us by cruising past. Now you probably won't be able to see them but I am including it so I can always remember just how special it was.
Speaking of creatures....I encountered a few. I especially loved the water dragon out on the groin....just chillin'. A couple of surfers were sitting so close to them and he never moved.
We also visited the town of Ballina....I loved the sculptures down by the river which runs beside the main part of town...
It was showery yesterday which really helped us feel not tooo sad...although we were a little as we packed up our home on wheels.
"Swannee" as she is affectionately known as is back snug in her garage waiting for our next journey.
I do have some blocks to show you but I shall do that next post....I am presently up to "Q"
on my Country at Heart Alphabet blocks...
Which stars our favourite thing....QUILTS!
Whilst I certainly enjoyed the break from work, technology, stress and worry, there is something special about 'coming home' especially when you get knocked over at the door by little people who love you and whom you love right back....I am so blessed with my family.
See you next time,
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx
