At the beginning I suppose! yes I am back from a 3 week holiday in the sunshine…the Gold Coast in Queensland mostly, with a side trip to Highfields and a week in NSW on the way home.
As mentioned before I stopped in at Honeysuckle Cottage to see Kim, what a beautiful part of our country she lives in, see her blog for a photo.
we then spent a couple of days at the theme parks, and yes I did manage to get conned into going on some of those scary rides (as did Liam…..tears all round for him!)
I also managed to book myself in for the Stitchers Dream day out at The Quilters Angel in Highfields. What a lovely day I had! I was able to meet Lynette and also catch up with Leanne May, Natalie Bird and Rosie, lovely weather, lovely food, great projects and great new friends.
Here I am with Judy and Sharon who made me feel very welcome..Hi girls.. and thanks for a great day, see you in Melbourne one day!
Then it was back to the Gold Coast for a few more visits to movieworld and dreamworld.
It certainly is a small world as there were 3 occasions where I met people who I knew (well sort of anyway). When we went to Wet & Wild we ran into the people we camp next to in January when we go to Warburton!! We only ever see them on holidays LOL!!! I will save the other 2 for another day.
I just had to indulge in this lovely cream donut at Seaworld….no wonder I put on a tiny bit of weight….(well maybe not so tiny but it was worth it!) I did manage also to find some yummy chocolate in Highfields…sigh…I just cant help it I am sooo addicted.
I am so ready for a rest this weekend then back to school on Monday for the kids and I think I might need a rest to recover from the holiday!
Cheers

Welcome back. Sounds like a wonderful trip. Thanks for the news about Honeysuckle having Leanne’s dvd. I had been wanting to get that for awhile. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope your weekend is restful.
Well a big welcome back from your wonderful time away with all your exciting adventures! The cream filled donut is exactly the kind of thing I would enjoy. Looks soooo yummy. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Hi Gail,
Glad to see you arrived back home safely with lots of fun had by all the family on your trip. It was lovely to meet you at the Stitchers Dream Day Out at Highfields and Judy and I may just pop down to Melbourne for a visit one day. It certainly is at the top of my wish list!! I’m just wondering if you have stitched any projects you may have started on that day?! I am still deciding on my fave project… Good luck settling back into routine and worry not about the ‘tiny’ bit of extra weight you found – some things are definitely worth indulging in…
Welcome back sounds like you had a great time.
Welcome back!!! Im pleased you had a good holiday that catered for the whole family. The Stitchers Dream Day looked fabulous and Im sure you had a great time. Cheers Sue
