Weekend Getaway
On Friday we disappeared into a lovely little Balinese BnB cottage up at Birdwood. I packed a huge basket overflowing with watermelon, honeydew, mangoes, strawberries, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, eggplant, spicy fetta, brie, other cheeses, olives, kabanas, salads, foccacia, ciabattis, wine, the works.
We could literally feel ourselves unwinding over the first couple of hours we were there. We spent the whole weekend drinking, eating and enjoying ourselves in the spa bath and in front of the cosy wood fire. We ventured out once on Saturday evening to stroll the main street, and on Sunday afternoon we stopped off at the Lobethal Heart of the Hills Market before finishing our leisurely drive home.
What a wonderful weekend. What a wonderful city we live in. Never mind those long, car-weary journeys - there are so many great getaways right on our doorstep!
