One Perfect Day…..

A couple of weeks ago I had what I believe was one perfect day which I thought I’d share with you.

It was going to be just like any normal Sunday with not much planned, which I really don’t mind but as it went it turned out to be a perfect day.  I woke early, and at 6:30 received a text from my flatmate to say that they’re taking the ooda’s (the dogs, Charlie & Buddy) to the beach, would I like to come?  Hell yeah!  We packed the car, ooda’s in place and set off for Southport Spit.

It was a magical summers morning with lots of people out and about taking their dogs for a walk on the beach.  Ted went of surfing and Cush & I walked, chatted, laughed and played with the ooda’s.  After that it was time for some swimming and sunbaking till Ted came in from his surf.  We all piled into the car and made the journey home (I make it sound like a big drive, it’s really only about 20 mins away).

I then had a shower and set off to collect my twinkle twinnie Nat (born on the same day, same year!), and her scrumptious daughter Lua.  We then packed the car and set off for Tumbulgum to meet up with some of the girls and meet Tabitha’s gorgeous little girl Mollie.  Tumbulgum is a beautiful, quaint, lush, little sleepy town on the Northern NSW Tweed River.



Mollie is the latest girl to join the sistahood.  She’s as cute as a button and totally scrumptious!  Tabitha and her partner Jamie welcomed Mollie to the world 8 weeks previously.

After our visit with Tabs & Mollie we (Libby, Nat, Lua, Mel, Silas, & I) hit the road and drove an hour southwest to the Channon Markets.  Channon is a small rural town approximately 1.5 hours south west of the Gold Coast.  It’s a stunning spot in the Northern NSW hills and they have the most scrumptious markets there.

We met up with Cheryl and her two kiddlets, Tao & Jarrah, strolled around the markets for a few hours, stopped and had ice creams, popcorn, cold drinks and just hung out on the grass watching the world go by.  It’s was a perfect blissful afternoon. 





After this, we all packed back up into the cars and headed North back to the Gold Coast for an evening beach BBQ at Burleigh.




It was a really scrumptious and perfect day…well almost!  The only thing missing was a scrumptious man to come home to cuddle…now that would have made it perfect!!!

Ciao for now
