Home again, home again

A week­end away is really just too brief, isn’t it?

Spent today wan­der­ing around winer­ies and fro­mager­ies on Bri­an’s request and every­one’s gen­eral agree­ment. I would have liked some more rain­forest and a little more ocean or stream, but there’s many other oppor­tun­it­ies for that and oh my, I have some nice wines and cheeses as a result.

I’ll post photos shortly… (and then edit this post prob­ably…) Let’s see, what did I leave out of yes­ter­day’s musing? Naomi and I saw a wombat in Cradle Moun­tain National Park… huge thing, just lum­ber­ing up the hill… and I saw a tiny little green snake. 

We stayed at Eagle’s Nest Retreat, which I reviewed for Unique Trav­el­ler… After watch­ing bits of the sun­rise lazily from bed, got up this morn­ing for an out­door spa… did some yoga with Naomi on the patio in the sun in view of Mount Roland and then cooked every­one a vin­tage cheese and sweet chilli omelette… We went to Tazmazia this morn­ing, which soun­ded better than it was. It looked like it was going to be a maze of lavender… 

I’m glad I man­aged to miss this Mel­bourne heat. It’s 45 down here, but Tassie was around 25 and just per­fect. Birth­day dinner was sea­food laksa and thai banana with palm sugar from one of my favour­ite res­taur­ants and in the end, thanks to the heat, just sit­ting at home watch­ing Car­ni­vale and talk­ing on the phone with an old friend from Sydney.

I’m very, very lucky…
