A week at the beach can really recharge your soul. We had a wonderful time and I wish we'd been able to stay longer. We rented a gorgeous house called Rusty Gate in Venus Bay which suited us perfectly. It's an old renovated school house, fitted out beautifully with all the necessities (a real coffee machine!) in a perfect quiet locale. We hadn't been to Venus Bay before, but the quieter town suits us perfectly.
Our luminous girls had a great time and Ella particularly takes after her dad in her confidence in the ocean. Leila follows me with a much more cautious approach.
The best part of the holiday, eating together as a family every evening. Twee, perhaps, but honesly, that makes me so happy as it's something we rarely get the chance to do. I wish the balance of our life could be different, that Geoff could be here more/earlier, but how can you manage that when your husband's job - the one that provides us with this life of ours - doesn't allow that. I find it really challenging to balance what I wish was so with what is so.
Today we'll try and hang on to our holiday vibe as we head all too rapidly towards the beginning of a new school year.

michael gets home late too. i struggle with it. he struggles with it. i always wonder how many families are really eating dinner together every night.
what a lovely holiday! so thrilled you all enjoyed yourselves.
Hi V, we were at Venus Bay too! Shame we didn't run into one another. Spent days at Walkerville Sth as #1 Beach was a bit rough and I did have to save my youngest once, whilst the life guards were busy chatting. We had a great time, it't a lovely spot isn't it?
I didn't make it to the meditation course, but trying to attend the drop in classes in the city weekly. Your family pic is lovely :-)
