Stew and I need a break.
Away.
On our own.
So, I finally did it... I booked us a weekend away ... in an area we both love so much.
Matakana/Omaha Beach.
We are going to stay in the country, at the cutest little cottage on a farm....
ABOVE: how cute does this little cottage look? I am going to love staying here, I just know it... COS... it's got COWS over the fence! I really like cows. And the smell of a farm... takes me back to when I was a little kid visiting my Grandmother on her farm. Lots of lovely memories.
ABOVE: the interior. Looks comfy. There is a seperate bedroom too. And this place is DEAD CHEAP! Like, I could have booked us a place at Omaha Beach, but it would have cost DOUBLE ... and I don't need to be right beside the beach to have a nice break away.
I just want to be able to lie in bed for as long as I want! And have some silence... and just be with Stew on my own.
And eat grapes in bed.
And maybe a chocolate too.
I'm going to make up a basket of goodies for us... lovely fruit, crackers, cheeses.... maybe wine... BLISS. Any other ideas for me basket of goodies????
I can't wait.
We are going on Friday 11th May, coming back on the Sunday. BLISS. That Sunday is MOTHER'S DAY here in New Zealand, quite possibly this will be the first Mother's Day I get to sleep in!
Yeah!!!.
TODAY: going to pop out and do a bit of banking.. pay a bill or two... maybe buy some fabric! I don't think I've bought very much this year at all... and I feel the NEED to buy some.
And pay for our little weekend away too.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: and the day has started off SO WELL.
So. The girls and I went shopping.
It was actually FUN!
lol
Like when is shopping NOT fun? Derrrr.
ABOVE: I bought two identical teddy's for Miss Muppet.... so she can have one and one can be in the wash... I did the same thing for Brylee and Griffin.
ABOVE: went to Spotlight: got lots of orange fabrics cos I want to make a couple more Giraffe wall hangings.
I can feel me creative juices flowing again... I want to SEW!
Bex and I also got some Smiggle stuff... cos we wanted to! No other reason. hee hee.
The girls and I also had a lovely lunch at Sylvia Park mall, then we stopped in to say 'Hi' to my Aunt Ethel, who lives just around the corner from me. We haven't seen her in a while. Too busy.
I'll say!
Feeling quite happy today. Maybe cos I can see a nice relaxing weekend ahead for me and Stew... some time out! Countdown .... 10 days!
I am almost twitching with glee... weird... I know! Jeezzz I'm a sad tart.
TRACY: here is the link to Matakana Meadows.
End of Day: a really nice day! Any day spent buying fabric has to be!
ON TRACK: yes... I'm being a good girl.
nite nite.
