We were spoilt rotten these summer holidays with a trip to the RACV Cape Schanck resort.
Staying in a room with an ocean view we saw the most amazing sunsets and the coast stretched out to The Heads and around to Torquay. We could even hear the surf pounding in the clear crisp morning air.
We visited wineries and had fancy lunches some days, fancy dinners on others. I even got out the sketchbook and in the breakfast room was able to get a few heads down on paper. It reignited the joy just drawing is for me. I just love the feel of pencil on paper. I was brave and let people see and had nice comments from a lovely staff member.
Visiting Flinders we one afternoon we walked out on the pier and got to watch the kids leap off, reminding me of the picture book Jetty Jumping with such gorgeous illustrations by Hannah Somerville. We also saw snorkelers and people fishing (although I don’t think they caught much with all the activity on and around the pier).
It’s funny holidaying where you grew up and hung out during your mis-spent youth, and I realised that I need to do this sort of thing a bit more often.
