Girl's weekend!!!

I miss it already! I think what every woman needs is a weekend away with a group of old friends (yeah...the boys need their time too but we all know that it's us girls who need it more!!!).

So off to the beautiful Blue Mountains we went....I have to add the beautiful and very cold Blue Mountains, by the way for those who don't know them, they are called the Blue Mountains because from a distance the haze from all the eucalyptus trees looks blue.

We stayed at a lovely guest house, the Kubba Roonga




It is a typical old character mountain home with a lovely fireplace for us to camp in front of during the day and night whilst we took turns in having a very relaxing and welcome massage!

Yes we made a mess as we drank wine and coffee, ate chocolate, read papers and books and talked a lot, we also went shopping (we wouldn't be girls if we didn't!). This is one of my favourite antique shops.... it's in an old theatre.






I managed to find some more milk glass for my fledgling collection I mentioned here. You can't quite see the slight big accident I had with the little compote bowl....nothing that a little glue couldn't fix!!! We also went out for dinner at a great 1 hat restaurant called Ashcrofts which if anyone is heading up that way, I highly recommend.

Of course it wouldn't be a trip to the mountains, without a walk taking in the wonderful sights....


Checking out the new houses....


and the old....




and of course the iconic!
