mini-break and a road trip ~ who could ask for more

The MGM and I are off on a road trip today and four lovely days break from work and (in his case) kids! Actually in my case too...the soon to be 22 year old son is returning to the nest today for a (hopefully) brief interlude in between share houses...do I sound like a bad mother?? Nooooo...but it is probably a good time to be going on a short trip while he moves his junk treasures in!
We're heading off to Leura in the Blue Mountains...and here is where we'll be staying...Hurlstone
...in the West Wing no less...do you think Martin Sheen will make a guest appearance?

Looks pretty lovely doesn't it...just right for a bit of romance. I have a new camera so I'm looking forward to trying it out. The laptop will be packed but there may or may not be blogging...depending on aforementioned romance potential!! Sorry loves, but sometimes you must take a back seat :)
Hope you all have very lovely weekends.

  5. Ooh, so jealous! Looks gorgeous and just right for this time of year. Have a great weekend sweetpea and can't wait for all the deets when you get back (of the place, not the romance of course!) And by the way, looking for a camera too at the moment, so would love to know what you bought. xxx

  6. Kerry, this place is gorgeous! Oooh, let the romancing begin! I hope you have a fabulous weekend and get mentally able and willing for your son to come and stay. Whew, mine are only 5 and 10 and I wish sometimes they would leave. I can't even imagine sending my 22 year old off and then coming back again. What is it they say, "Never say never!" I bet it will be great!

  9. Have a great time. Please try out the new camera and then tell us all about it. If you really are in the West wing, perhaps Rob Lowe will make an appearance too! Now that's my idea of a good weekend.

  20. Kerry lots of things resonated with me when I read your blog and your description of yourself, 2 things in particular though; the fact that you are a blogoholic ( I have caught the disease) and I also had a cat called Buffy! Love your blog. Keep being creative and inspiring. I am your newest follower. Drop into my blog Velvetine Lily at http://velvetinelily.blogspot.com/ A blog about love, food, life and pleasure.
