A Weekend in Daylesford

Neil took the day off work on Friday, and we took Rosie to the kennels then headed up to Daylesford for a weekend away.

We stayed at Jubilee Lake Caravan Park, in a little two bedroom cabin. It was cosy and comfortable, with efficient heating, and had a great view across the oval to the playground and the lake.

A quick exploration when we first arrived revealed that the ground was very wet and muddy, but that certainly didn't stop Grace and Charlotte from running around!

I used the weekend as an opportunity to get some current photos of the family.

Sabbath morning we went for a walk (at 20-month-old pace!) at Lake Daylesford. We didn't go far, but saw lots of flowers, ducks, and joggers passing by.

Grace and Charlotte love playgrounds!

After lunch in town we drove to Lavendula. That visit is going to be a separate post, we took so many photos!

The rest of the weekend was spent doing more of the same - playing in the playground, walking by Jubilee Lake, having take away for dinner, visiting the Sunday market in Daylesford, then driving to Castlemaine for lunch on Sunday before returning home to Melbourne.

The wattle is in full bloom.

One day it would be lovely to canoe on Jubilee Lake.

Another day, another swing!

We had such a great time, Neil is already talking about booking another weekend away. Next time we'll probably go to Echuca/Moama. This could become a habit!
