Family Holiday


Hope everyone’s weekends were lovely ones. I’ve been missing from my blog for a few days as on Friday we went on a little family holiday to our favourite town away from home, Denmark. Paul is on holidays, so before he heads off on his boys’ camping trip to the ‘middle of nowhere’, the three of us are having some quality time together.

Denmark is about a 4 hour drive south of Perth and Grace did well on her first long car ride. Whilst there, we visited one of our favourite swimming bays, Greens Pool. We also spent some time wandering around the town looking at all the little shops and had morning tea at the Old Butter Factory where we also bought a piece of original artwork titled 'Walk With Me' from the gallery.

It was so nice to get away for a few days and spend some time relaxing, away from the usual day to day routine. Now I’m looking forward to catching up on everyone else’s blogs to see what they’ve been up to while I’ve been away…

  10. Thanks for all the comments. It's nice to find something special for our house when we're on holidays - it means pieces have a story behind them. We have artwork when we bought on our Tasmania and Sydney trips too and when I look at them, I think of the fun times we had. Tina - you'll definitely have to visit Denmark if you visit WA. Kylie - no Lakehouse artwork as of yet - the owner was not there to ask unfortunately.
