LUNCH DAY WITH A GOOD FRIEND....

 It is nice having one of my closest friends living on the coast close to me.   We have been close friends now for 40 odd years.  We first met back in Rocky when we both had our baby boys close together and became really good friends then.  Barb moved to Brissie when her children were in Primary school but over the years we have kept in contact and remained very close so it is wonderful to be living in the same proximity again now as we are both retired and have more time to spend together.  

Our kids were inseparable when they were younger and now we both have grandchildren similarly aged and  they get on well also... The circle of life...

Barb and I

 

Just down the road from where Barb lives is a great caravan park that has a really lovely restaurant attached.  It overlooks the pool and is a lovely calm relaxing place to hang out so we decided to head there for our lunch this visit. 

We even had a little visitor whilst we had our lunch
We settled in for a good chat whilst we ordered a couple of cool drinks and we found ourselves seating on the deck..
A couple of lemon lime and bitters...

 

Barb settled for chicken, salad and chips

I settled for a fresh Thai Beef salad..

 

 The desert cabinet looked absolutely decedent and we couldn't resist a nice desert as well..

It was hard to choose as they all looked so lovely...
Barb decided on pancakes...
I chose the apple and rhubarb  pie and it was delicious..

We spent quite a bit of time there and were still there a couple of hours later so thought we would order a hot drink and share one of the other beautiful deserts we were eyeing off earlier...

I ordered a hot chocolate

Barb ordered a cappuccino

And we settled on a mini lemon meringue tart between us...

So good....

It would be an awesome place to have a caravanning holiday with kids as there are some many wonderful amenities geared for families.  I can also imagine though that the nightly rate to stay there would be pretty high. 
Great kids playground...

Interesting light in the foyer...

It was a lovely catch up.  So blessed to have this wonderful woman in my life and I am honoured to call her my dear friend...

CANDLES AND FLOWERS..

 Two of my most favourite things and I have been spoilt with both this week...

I absolutely adore the girls Taddletales Candles.  The fragrances are divine and they leave the whole house smelling awesome...

My most favourite candles...

and my favourite flowers..

I am so fortunate and thankful that I have a husband who enjoys the beauty of nature like myself and he often brings home beautiful flowers to grace our home...

He also enjoys wandering around our garden and picking me bunches of flowers and I just love it...  Our nature trees are in full bloom at the moment and it is lovely.  Plenty of birds around enjoying them also...

Love to keep a record of the beauty around me.  Love that I have eyes to see and a nose to smell.  So grateful for these things....

MAX & WILLOW ENJOY BOOK WEEK 2022

I am way behind with family news.  In fact I am 12 months behind and so much has happened in the last 12 months so these next few posts are going to be more photographic posts than anything.  Just a few photos of Book Week 2022 at Max and Willow's school...

Willow with friends...

The kids school go all our for Book Week each year.  I am sure a lot of the creations are made by the parents but they are amazing...Apparently some parents start planning for the following year the moment book week is over in the current year.   I am always amazed at what they come up with.  I also have to say that most of the teachers get very involved in it also dressing in theme...

Some of the amazing costumes that turned up at Book Week this week...
