A sleepy coastal town with oodles of character, a cabin on the hillside with views of the ocean (and just a few steps down to a great beachfront cafe), lazy birthday breakfasts, a rainy day movie date in an art deco cinema, a calm inlet beach dotted with children in floppy hats, a (play) shop window with built in calculator buttons at the local park, a little one with ringlets gone wild, doting grandparents who make killer sandcastles, and a misty coastline.
*We stayed on the South Coast at Narooma - a sweet little town to take young children. Even the public toilets are bound to be a hit with the little ones (see my instagram feed).
**On Saturday we celebrated K's 32nd birthday. He was given Jamie's 15 Minute Meals, 1001 Movies to See Before You Die, a seafood lunch, a steering wheel cover from the USA and a jar of notes (32 reasons why we love you, as told to Mama by Saskia). Meu Amor, happy birthday. You carry my heart x
Oh my gosh - so grown up! I seriously love that toy camera!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a dreamy family holiday! x
I seriously love that camera too - it's definitely been the biggest hit. The camera and books is all that girl needs!
DeleteOh so blissful x
ReplyDeleteIt really was a lovely holiday with lots of special memories x
Deletewe love Narooma! And how cute is that toy camera! xo
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a great place to holiday with kids? I'd love to go back x
DeleteI love that camera so much- just bought one for Sofia too for Christmas! This holiday sounds perfect... :)
ReplyDeleteOh Kate, she's going to love it! Lovely Christmas present idea x
DeleteSo beautiful. Those curls! X
ReplyDeleteI know! I can't stop running my hand through her hair! The humidity made them crazy wild x
Deleteoh, i am seriously dying over those curls. she is darling. and those birds - so vibrant! nothing like that where i come from...wow. i keep hearing about this 15 minute meals cookbook. i am intrigued.
ReplyDeleteIt's another Jamie Oliver book - a goodie too. I think once you have the hang of the meals you'll get close to 15 minutes, but at the moment we're still averaging 30 to 40 minutes! x
DeleteHappy birthday K! Sounds like you had a lovely break x
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely. So nice to see your name pop up x
DeleteSounds perfect. Love a holiday by the ocean. Happy Birthday to K.
