My boyfriend, B’s, family have a place down on Phillip Island and we try and get down there every few months for a weekend of relaxing and recharging the batteries. This weekend we did just that, and it was pretty much perfect.
We managed to leave work early so were down there mid-afternoon, in time for a walk along the beach, a frolic in the water and to meet some creatures on the beach.

This was followed up by the vegetarian equivalent of fish and chips (tempura veggies) on the balcony with beer
Perfect Friday night beach dinner
Saturday involved a home-cooked breakfast, a picnic by the beach, an afternoon ocean swim and ice cream. A pretty perfect day.

Cookies & cream and blood orange – delicious!
On Sunday we visited the Koala Conservation Centre and got to see some of the cute little creatures up close which was incredible. They have the cutest little faces!

All in all it was a pretty wonderful weekend, and I’ve come home feeling recharged and ready to face the week ahead.
What did you get up to this weekend?
