Blue Mountains Getaway

 Simon and I got away for a quick stay in the Blue Mountains.

A stop in Leura for lunch and a browse through the shops, a walk near the 3 sisters, a drink at the Mountain Co Brewery then we arrived at our hotel. We stayed at The Chalets in Blackheath. A lovely chalet surrounded by the bush.

It was cosy and the perfect winter stay with a log fire, big bath tub and takeaway delivered from the local Thai place for dinner. Perfect!

It was so peaceful and so good to get away and be surrounded by nature. We were blessed with blue skies so we got to do a few easy walking trails too. 

Our Canberra Trip

 We took advantage of the long weekend and headed down to Canberra for a couple of days.

We played tourist on Sunday with a visit to Cockington Green (such a blast from the past!) followed by lunch at a cute pub and then a drive by of Parliament House on our way to our hotel.

The next morning we headed out to Corin Forest where the boys saw snow for the first time. Usually most of our holidays are beach related so this was a huge change. A chilly but fun one! They loved it and we will definitely venture to bigger snow fields in the future since we all had such a great time.

It was a quick trip but so nice to have a change of scenery and such beautiful scenery at that! The beautiful trees and landscape, the crisp air, the streams and creeks.... all stunning!

Here are some photos of our trip -

Byron Diary - March 2020

Towards the end of last year Simon and I had booked a little getaway to Byron but we cancelled it due to all of the fires. So when we had a gap in our schedules we decided to rebook it and enjoy a few days in one of our favourite spots.

We stayed at the Byron at Byron and loved the peaceful surrounds just out of town. We had quiet mornings having breakfast overlooking the rainforest and afternoon dips in the gorgeous pool. The weather was so humid whilst we there so the pool definitely got a work out!

We enjoyed a few lazy days checking out our old favourite places and discovering new finds.

It was lovely to be back in Byron......
