Too short

We had such a lovely weekend in Townsville but only wished we could have stayed a little longer.  On our afternoon off on Friday we managed to go for a nice long walk along The Strand and enjoyed all of the different sights and sounds that Townville had to offer

It truly is amazing how you can be in the same country yet all of the nature, wildlife, sounds and climate can be so extremely different.

We walked along and enjoyed every little different thing that we found and the noises of the bird-life was just amazing.    

We were very thankful for the water park that we found along the way for a much needed splash and not far on from there we found a great little restaurant to enjoy a meal overlooking the ocean.  Needless to say at least one of these had to be ordered....

And of course enjoyed...

On the Saturday my day of designing did not come out quite as intended but I did have a good day of rest as I ventured for a good long walk and lazed about the beautiful hotel we were staying in.  Rosie had a lovely time at the retreat and I am sure she will post all about it soon on her blog.

We only wish that we could have had another day to discover Townsville but if nothing else it was a good taste tease to encourage us to return really soon!  Hope you also had a lovely weekend full of new experiences!  Melly & Rosie

Oh those photos make me homesick! I lived in Townsville for 9 years and it has a very special place in our hearts. (that is where I meet my DH, got married and went to Uni) Ok homesick now. Love K

Rosies Strawberry Daiquiri, great name for a quilt!
Townsville looks like the place to be!
You’re truly living on a continent, not in a country. When you look from Southern to Northern Europe, you see some amazing differences in nature too!

How lovely. Sounds like your flossy free days went well. What a beautiful experience! My work has an office in Townsville and they are always off building walking tracks on Magnetic Island and things like that. So lucky! x Rachel

It sounds like a great weekend. I had the chance to go away last month and planned to do all sorts of things and ended up doing very little! Except sleep. I must have needed to catch up!

OMG, those daiquiris look YUMMY!!! Makes me want to get my blender out and whip some up!! Just to let you know, I recently sewed up your cute little bunnies from your pattern line! I posted a picture of them on my blog! The store I'm working at carries both Melly & Me, as well as Rosie's line of patterns! I'm doing my best to promote you guys over here in Denmark!! Cheers!!!
