Actually, this is how we began our weekend... Huz had the day off and after a drive and a swim, we stopped off for fish & chips and a wander. We visited the beach just below the house where Little Owlet was born. Big Owlet and I wandered up and down this beach almost every day when she was just two years old. Such a beautiful spot and on Friday night, it was perfect. The water was surprisingly warm, and the light! The light on these Autumn afternoons is so golden - everything looks amazing drenched in it. We collected shells, balanced on rocks and paddled as we watched as a bride and groom at the far end of the beach made memories of that day too... It really was such a lovely afternoon. An echo of Summer and reminder of why that work/life balance is so important to us. Something we're hoping to nurture this year and beyond...

 Do you look forward to the weekends as much as we do? Do you think society has it right with working weeks the length that they are? Around here, we kind of feel like four days is enough for working on one thing. Five days is just too long... Of course, we have the luxury and privilege to imagine a life with less work, but it does seem a long time to be away from the peeps you love the most, don't you think? Anyhow, I hope your weekend was beautiful and your week shapes up to be even better.xx

  1. Oh I think the "business days" week is just ridiculous!
    We intend to kick the habit very soon ;)
