A whole week ago now, Dave and I escaped for a weekend of quiet solitude and utter indulgence. Vastly different from our typical weekends filled with washing, cleaning and the wrangling of small children.
A sea plane was scheduled to pick us up from Rose Bay but high winds and poor visibility ensured we arrived by Kluger rather than aircraft. I can't say I was disappointed though, I'm no thrill seeker and must confess to breathing a sweet sigh of relief when the final decision was made.
Once safely in our cosy room we high fived each other before giggling like school girls. It's hilarious work pretending your posh when you're just plain ol'... well, plain.
Room service and a hot spa were a must so with the ocean surrounding us and filling our ears we lulled and soaked before reading (in silence) on the balcony wearing huge white fluffy robes. Later in the evening we enjoyed the most decadent a la cart dinner of our lives. The dessert was seriously something else, think Marie Antoinette, pink grapefruit and the most subtle of flavours.
The entire experience was perfectly rejuvenating- just what we needed. I confess to feeling rather 'flat' prior and had wondered how on earth I would make it through the Christmas season when running on empty.
Oh mercy, it was good.
So good.
I declare the child free extravaganza a success.

What a gorgeous thing to do for each other. It is so very easy to make our worlds all about our kiddies but the love we have for our partners is the very reason the munchkins are here! So important to honour that beautiful bond. Yay for you!!! Hope your week is lovely :) x
