Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?

 Day 6 of our Eden holiday began with a visit to Pambula Tea Rooms. My family and I enjoyed tea and cakes for breakfast. I really loved the vanilla slice and chocolate cheesecake that I shared with my dad.

After a big sugar rush and very full tummies, we wandered to Mechanic's Botanics where we admired the ceramics, handmade hats and unique pieces.

Next we went into Pambula's Wholefood Store, where I bought a jar of organic beef tallow for $24.95. Don't call me a hippy, but I have heard that it's a great natrural moisturiser alternative and very good for your skin so I was looking forward to trying it. Since using it, I have absolutely loved it. One of my favourite times of the day is when I wash my face in the evening and put on a face cream or oil. Instead of buying traditional souveniers (like magnets) on holidays, sometimes I like to buy face creams instead. Last year in Tasmiania, I loved the Bruny Island face cream with manuka honey.

Funnily enough I practically wore this exact outfit in Tasmania, in the link I included above. With its big sleeves and bright colour, this hand-me-down dress from my mum has been lovely to wear.

Then we visited Pambula beach and dipped our feet in the water. For lunch, I made sausages, sandwich steaks, onions and salad (not pictured) and after digesting, we went swimming in the beach.




Our afternoon included oysters and a DJ playing music on the beach.

    I can never resist trying out a new face cream but can honestly say I never heard of organic beef tallow for the skin!
    Pambula sounds like a wonderful place to spend a day, and I'm swooning over that gorgeous dress of yours! xxx

    Pambula Tea Rooms looks fabulous both inside and out . Love the photo of you, your dad and your sister and you and your mum look so pretty in your floral frocks.
    I like the idea of buying a beauty product as a holiday souvenir. I usually buy a locally made bar of soap. xxx

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and grandparents, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for probably over 1...

Earlier in the year, my family and I visited a strawberry farm in Bacchus Marsh. My sister and I love visiting fruit farms and being able to pick our own fruit! The strawberries were much sweeter and tastier than the bland ones usually found in supermarkets. I was delighted to buy some apples too. They had no wax on which is basically unheard of these days. Next we visited a beautiful, old church. I love how the arches are reminiscent of Noah's Ark. Even the door is purposely designed and ornate. We ended the day with some waffles I made from scratch and ate many more strawberries. Title : Dear Boy by Paul & Linda McCartney.

For who knows when we'll meet again this way

The end of our Eden holiday concluded with some time at the beach and a yummy BBQ - vegetables, sausages, onions and salmon.  It's always hard to say goodbye to the beautiful ocean, so I savored the last moments looking out at the water and thinking of all the things I'm grateful for. For the long drive home back to Melbourne, I wore my comfortable Mexican, embroidered dress. A few years ago, I found quite a few Mexican dresses, but haven't come across one in a very long time. I'd love one in red, wouldn't that look fantastic? On the drive, I visited this church that was hosting an art fair and admired this green home! Since returning home, I've done a lot of cooking. Here is a plate of my homemade sausage rolls and long green beans with nuts. I've also gone for some nice walks, sometimes picking flowers along the way. What have you been up to lately?
