Has it really been ten years?!

In a word....yes!

Cam and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last weekend, even though our actual anniversary is this weekend.

Ten years since we met in Paris and then began courting in San Sebastian. June 10th 2002. Does anyone use that term any more?...courting. No, probably not...I don't even use it, however it's better than saying.....Ten years since we hooked up!

Well a big anniversary weekend, calls for a bloody big diary entry, so I'd better get to it!

3 days of no schedules, no tantrums, no toilet training mishaps, or disturbed sleep! Absolutely none of that whatsoever! It has been a very long time since I have felt oh so relaxed.

                                                                         The Pass. 

 3 days away in Byron sent me in to a meditative state. I could actually concentrate on just cam and me....

and it was heaven. 

It rained...and showered for the first 2 days, but it was still lovely and warm and our apartment was across the road from a stunning little protected beach called 'The Pass'.....so, that was our first stop.

Sitting on the beach was not dampened by the light rain and it felt very tropical as Cam surfed and I sketched under a canopy of trees. I really miss drawing,  and spending time this weekend with my pad and pencils reminded me what I need to do more of and I think it had the same affect on Cam...the surfing that is....not the drawing!

We had a weekend of amazing food that kicked off at the 'Owl and the Pussycat'.

Tapas of buffalo wings, garlic prawns and warm olives. 

No Tapas

Sunday we met Court & String at the Byron Markets and wandered and chatted in the light rain, walked through town seeing what new shops had popped up before meeting up again to visit their new abode. We headed to Bangalow before lunch where I found a great old, blue weathered cupboard door. Yes a door! I think I will turn it into an art piece for the wall .....somehow.

With the door in the boot we headed quickly back to Byron for a lovely lunch at Rae's at Wategos. We were the only couple there until half way through our meal when we were joined by another couple...seriously...4 for lunch!? How do they do it? last time we went there for my Hen's day it was just as empty. 

The rain and clouds were kind enough to disappear for the afternoon to be able to enjoy the spectacular surrounds and beach outlook. 

                                                           mmmmmmmmm.........

The afternoon was relaxed and I treated myself to a massage before an even more relaxed evening of dessert for dinner of cheesecake and chocolate slice in bed while watching a movie! Bliss!.....and then we woke up to this!...

A bright sunny rainless day for our last day away! yey!

So what better way to enjoy it than by starting the day with a walk!.....

.....which worked up our appetites for a yummy breakfast at Clarke's Beach.

My favourite breakfast!

Happy Anniversary Cam ..x .. I wouldn't mind if you want to celebrate every one to come,  like this!
