Home Again, Home Again Jiggiity Jig

Our extended weekend away has come to an end, but what a good time. The sun shone (a lot), there was plenty of laughter, lots of good food, some wine and a huge amount of relaxing. Perfect.

There is a real joy to being on a ferry,
that makes a not so long journey seem that much more exciting
and the destination more of an escape.
The days were about being outside,
on the beach much of the time,
with friends.
And playing with the various animals,
the rabbit, Basil the dog and the degu.
There was a guinea pig too but I somehow failed to get a photo.
But really it was about the friends...
... and one extremely bouncy dog.

    Glad you got sun, we had a lot of horizontal rain and howling winds! They don't call them springer spaniels for nothing ;o)

    Your girls are such beauties. I keep waiting for them to turn into teenagers with attitude, but all I ever see is those big smiles and their sisterly love :-). I'm sure they have their squabbles (what siblings don't), but their little faces always make me smile. I'm glad you had a nice break. I hope you've come home feeling rested and recharged.
