But, despite obstacles…this week has been ace. Quality family time, spent in a most beautiful part of the world, with adventure and new experiences.
I’ve done lots of “first things” during our time in the loverly Queensland Glasshouse Mountains in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland:

- Stopped in a lovely picturesque Queenslander-style wood cabin in the bush.

- Heard the word “Daddy” over a thousand times in one day.

Coming back to a public holiday weekend, allowing me to get my affairs in order (as well as the laundry), is an added bonus.
