It's been a cold and windy, wet & wild long weekend here in Daylesford. Good weather for sitting & knitting.
It's almost like the Spring we never had, or is it early winter?
Whatever it is it's good weather for eating chocolate cake,
and sitting by the fire. A highlight of the weekend was seeing our beautiful niece/cousin, Gemma, who came to visit. She flew over from Tasmania all on her own! How grown up!
I also went for a fantastic bushwalk with my bushwalking partner, Sunday, and the dogs.
Walking throught the green/grey gumtrees, smelling the fresh rain soaked bush and running together up and down hills was so much fun.
We have had Chillout festival on in Daylesford and so the town has been in party mode. I didn't get any good shots of the parade but if you pop over to Foxs Lane you will see Kate's excellent post & super duper photo's. We did make it to see the Roller Derby which was pretty mind blowing. And fast & scary!
The cold and wet weather has made things seem much warmer and snuggly. It was pretty cosy at the Perfect Drop last night where we had a first of our new craft groups, Handmade, get together
The dogs thought it was pretty amazing too.
Here they are at a spot we call Top of the World.
And then back home for scones and hot tea.
Part of having Charlotte home was cooking/making her all her favourite foods.
Lucky for us that includes scones!

And we managed to squeeze in some dancing which is always ace. .
The kids were pretty ratty this weekend so it was nice to sit and watch them having fun and losing themselves in the moment.

Talking of snuggly, I don't know about you but I can't get enough cuddles lately. Family life can be so challenging. Of course it is rewarding too but I am struggling a bit lately and it just makes me want to hold my kids close and hug them forever. (Thanks to all those lovely people who left supportive comments recently. I really appreciate your kindness.)
Sitting on the couch with my Honey at the end of a long, long weekend is pretty good too. Hope you are warm and cosy and having happy days. See you soon sweeties xo
