I love this time of year, just when you’re settling back into the swing of work after Christmas holidays, we’re granted another mini-break – a long weekend for Australia Day. Just when the tan is starting to fade, or things get too serious at work, we celebrate all things ‘Aussie’ with taking a day off work and celebrating our amazing Country.
We’re off to Jervis Bay for 5 days, which I cannot wait for. Having spent our Christmas break painting and moving, I’m looking forward to just ‘kicking back’ on the beach, eating seafood and generally taking it easy. Hyams beach has one of the whitest sands in Australia and feels like silk to walk in. The water is amazingly crystal blue (see below) and has a lovely old-fashioned feeling (not so overly populated compared to other coastal locations).
Ideally, I would indulge in new swimmers or a good book but the house has gobbled most of the spare income recently! So below is what I’m taking, based on what I currently have – however I will be endulging in a pedi in a similar coral colour (bye bye dragon feet). The weekend will involve some beach cricket, reading a good book on the beach, long-lazy lunches on the balcony overlooking the beach (see below), Pavlova (of course) and eating as much seafood as humanly possible!
