For the second year in a row we were able to head to the beach for Easter as we are usually at home with village market commitments but thanks to the terrible weather and damage to our local roads, they were cancelled for the 3rd year in a row and so we got to escape to the beach for the long weekend.
There was sunshine! There was just Lucy and her family (we had Rob’s Mum on Easter Sunday) so it was small and relaxed and just the perfect weekend filled with happy kids and parents and lots of amazing food. After so much rain these past few months, just to feel some sunshine on our backs was all we needed.
Good Friday was spent grazing on amazing food and going for long walks finished off by too many wines by the fire pit. There were lots of games and drawings…total relaxation!
Saturday we were lucky enough to escape for lunch (just the adults) to our fave local The Lucky Bee in Hardys bay…we also spent a lot of time getting jobs done around the house. We also discovered the BEST playlist at lunch on Saturday that we had on repeat all weekend.
Sunday was a very relaxed lunch for us all…a grazing platter, some porchetta, potatoes and salads and I whipped up a bread & butter pudding packed with Easter eggs for dessert that we ate very late….more like pudding for dinner. Perfect!
And the best bit? When we decided that instead of leaving on Monday that we would all stay another night and get up super early for work the next day…which meant one last glorious sunset by the water with take away pizzas and home made cocktails. It was just the best send off for a great weekend.
That last moon rise was the perfect end to a perfect weekend. Hope you guys had a good Easter too? What did you get up to?
