A couple of good friends organised the weekend away and it was so much fun. A very self-indulgent thing to do especially while Jason stayed home to look after the three boys...but sometimes a girl needs a break.
In my case this break was the first one without children since 2001. I don't know why I never did this before? A fabulous chilled way to start the June/July school holidays.
The highlight was definitely the 90 minute back massage and facial in the timber hut outside our villa. Anymore relaxed and I could be dead!

The courtyard - the decor was Balinese inspired. Cedar windows and shutters and teak furniture featured heavily.

good for you! every mum needs a weekend off now and then - you should make it an annual thing! jx
ReplyDelete2001???? What are you thinking? So glad you had a lovely weekend, make sure you treat yourself a little more often. You are a busy mun and need time out with the girls on a regular (even annual) basis. I can totally understand as I am surrounded by boys as well and really look forward to a bit of girl time.
ReplyDeleteWow you lucky thing. It sounds devine and long overdue! xx
ReplyDeleteGood for you Anita. What a beautiful setting to relax and take time out.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should take a leaf out of your book. I've yet to have a 'weekend away' and I've been married 24 years! Good grief - that looks worse written down than it did in my head.

ReplyDeleteWhat a treat Anita - and long long overdue. Don't feel guilty about it for even a second. Mind you I am so envious. xx
ReplyDeleteLucky you to get away alone for a little while - we can already sense your new serenity. Is these a gilt rancho relaxo cheese-parer for every one of your dear commentators?
ReplyDeleteLOvely, good on you for taking a bit of Anita time. How lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell done you after all those renovations and all that electrical work. Love the new look of your blog too! Very swish - and in keeping with a beautifully renovated Sow's Ear ;-) You've just made me miss Byron Bay though ...
ReplyDeleteOh no, you're torturing me..Sounds wonderful, glad you enjoyed it..Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteohh it looks lovely. I have never done the weekend away from hubby and the kids either and now with Aston just arriving not sure that will happen in the near future but I will get there one day. I hope you enjoy yourself and well done to hubby for staying home with the boys too.
