My friends husband advised me on the weekend to take time to ‘ process ‘ the weekend that was…. What exactly was my four days in Southern Queensland??
In a word- Perfect.
No more processing time needed.
The weekend enabled me to see a little clearer, to appreciate that the meaning of love can be found in the truly mundane & the breathtaking beautiful.
I saw pristine countryside & experienced honest to goodness hospitality. I ate local produce, mixed lollies & drank beer at the local.
I meet a celebrity Gardner at the Felton Food Festival & sweltered in 40 degree heat. I experienced community spirit at its finest- 12,000 people gathered in corn fields to celebrate agriculture, farming & fine fabulous food.
I read books to children, experienced a school drop off & learnt more about Star Wars than I ever imagined possible.
And lastly, I listened to Taylor Swift, over and over and over again.
The weekend was all that & so much more. It was perfect. Just perfect.
We all need pick me ups from time to time & we are lucky to have those in life who recognise when our batteries need recharging.
Thank you Scott, Lauren, A,S,M & J for my perfect escape. The surprise visit 4 months in the making- all the scheming, plotting & out right lies where worth it- I needed that weekend as much as your much loved wife/ mother did.
