Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Rested & Raring to Go!

We arrived home on Monday, but had three weeks washing to attend to before I could make it here. :) I was hoping to have heaps of photos to share today, but unfortunately I lost the first card from my camera and this is all that was on the remaining card.


Above and below, are pics taken at Eden.


These doll houses were in a little cafe that we stopped at for lunch on the way back down the coast.




Glenn has some pics in his camera, but unfortunately, none of the three dolls that I photographed at stops along the way.

We had great weather apart from one day, lovely motels too, except for the Robertson Country Motel, which was too disgusting to stay at (we asked for our money back) . . . so be warned!! We found a lovely boutique motel at Berry so it all turned out for the best and it's a lovely town with lots to see and do . . . a visit to the Treat Shop is definitely a must . . . we bought heaps!!

I also bought yards of lovely fabric from every patchwork shop I visited and which I will share with you soon, along with some lovely new dolly items I knitted during the evenings, Hopefully, I will have time to photograph them all tomorrow so I can add them to my re-opened Etsy store.

Three Weeks Without Cooking!

I am so looking forward to this break from routine. Angelique, Wren and Finch will be accompanying us on our journey up the coast, so hopefully I will get a few reasonable photos of them along the way.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again, if at all during the three weeks, but don't for one minute think I've forgotten about you, like Arnold,
I'll be back!
