good evening & good morning...

Well I must say, the fish & chips were pretty good. We sat on the jetty, basking in the evening sun & watching the crazy local kids jump off the Phillip Island bridge.
It was so lovely & relaxing to just sit & enjoy the company of my wonderful husband.
The
colours were just captivating. Check out the two pics below.

There was a last minute cake purchase from the supermarket, just to make it feel like a real birthday, candle & all. I think I'll have to train Samuel up in the cake making department, everyone needs a homemade birthday cake..
The drive home was a race against the sun, as we wanted to catch it setting from the top of the hill. This is my beloved Petula & just to her right, you can vaguely make out the bridge to the island.
I was so exhausted after my big two days, that I pretty much crashed as soon as we got home.

Which of course, led to me being awake very early this morning.
When I walked out of the bedroom & looked out the window at 7am, this is what I saw. It was so bright, my eyes took a while to adjust.

I took a wander around the property & discovered these gumnut blossoms. No colour enhancement I swear. Just natural beauty & perfect sunlight. I was so excited, I picked some for the breakfast table.
Breakfast was cooked when the husband awoke. Crepes! I just love them. I must have eaten about 6! I like to have them with a variety of toppings... nutella & banana, strawberry jam & lemon & sugar. Delicious!
So that was the end of my birthday weekend. Most of it was quite impromptu & all of it was thoroughly enjoyed. I think we need a few more weekends like this as I don't think we'll be getting them when the bubba arrives.
