Monday, April 25



It's been a weekend for family and today it was time to spend it at my Mum and Dad's house.  They live a bit of a drive from where we live, in the country and it's been a while since we've visited, too long.  When I lived at home I longed to live in the city the country just wasn't me but now all I want is to move back to the simple life of where I grew up as a teenager.  For now though, I can visit anytime and enjoy the peacefulness that visiting the country brings because they surely won't be moving to the big smoke any time soon. ♡

  1. I have never lived in the country but as I get older I long for the slower, simpler life of living in the country. Charmaine

  2. Lucky you, a country family to escape the city with. I'm visiting my country brother tomorrow, leaving early to catch all 4 of his children in once place (2 at Uni, 2 at boarding school) & can't wait. Then to Sydney & home to Canberra. We're moving out to the country, with 4 teenagers in our very near future, we need space & serenity, thrilled it's actually an option with city private schools. Love Posie

  3. Aren't we funny.. I'm the same, can't wait to get back there! I enjoy my visits so much more, and have to be dragged away when it's time to leave!
    Hope you enjoy the rest of your long weekend.

  4. Hi Catherine I remember our Mum used to almost use moving out of town as a threat against us in our teens. As an adult I think it would potentially be lovely and so see that it may have appealed to her but it was not something I wanted to do at all back then. Lovely photos today :)

  5. Looks like a lovely family weekend. Pianos are a wonderful addition to any home and kid's just love them.

  6. I grew up in the busy city of Dublin in Ireland. During the holidays we would drive to my Grandmothers dairy farm in the country. I loved the quiet and escapism but somehow knew that the city had conveniences I would miss if I left.

    Now as a mother of three kids I see the advantages of being away from the city and we live in a compromise, a small quiet road near a lake but only a short drive to shopping centres and bright lights.

    For now I think the balance is good for us.
