This weekend was one of those breaks that totally relaxes you and soothes your soul. It was exactly what we needed to recharge and reconnect before facing the madness that is the last quarter of 2013.
We went with our family, and the best bit about doing a vacation with family is that there is no pressure to do anything, plan anything or be anything. You just get to leave your make-up at home, pack in your comfiest clothes and completely chill out and enjoy the precious time connecting with those most important to you.
We rented a lovely house just outside Shelley Point, and right on the beach. We spent the weekend taking long, leisurely walks along the beach, reading books, listening to music and congregating around the fire each night to braai, but most importantly, to make s'mores. Dave and I brought back some jumbo marshmallows from America and we have been dying to use them - and this was the perfect opportunity. These monsters more than covered a marie biscuit so it was a very messy exercise, with gooey melted marshmallow spilling everywhere. But although we had very sticky fingers, we had very happy bellies.
Our blissful breakaway was rounded off with a slow cruise through to Paternoster where we got lucky with a booking at The Noisy Oyster and gorged on the hugest plates full of West Coast mussels, fresh sushi, warm bread and plenty of crisp white wine.
I love you very much my favorite people in the whole world. This post is just for you. xx
