A perfect end to a perfect week of holidays today.  CurlyPops and Hoppo Bumpo came over for afternoon tea to celebrate Cam's birthday.  There was a delicious chocolate cake, the opening of a really large birthday painting, and lots of laughter and great conversation as always.

Camille and I

Tomorrow it's back to work.  I've turned into one of those people.  Heading back to work already dreaming of my next holiday.  Living for the spaces in between work.  I don't mind.  It's all part of a bigger plan.  One day my working life will look very different.

Life really is good I've decided.
