Pender Island

We went to a cabin.

There was a hot tub.

I take all the blame. Damn Pinterest......I saw a photo on there a while ago. It was two coffee cups sitting on the railing of a deck...forest beyond. It got me thinking.

Plus, we needed some time away. I'm fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where I can make that photo come true for myself!


We were only there for three nights, I could have stayed a month! We read, went for walks, drank home made chai, made cocktails, read some more.

We had all the necessities. Cheezies, walnut bitters, lots of coffee, Lindt chocolate......home made cookies.


I finished an incredible book then started and finished another 'junky' read while we were there. We had our snuggly socks and PJs, coffee, books, a wood burning stove, hot tub and frogs to listen to at night when we fell asleep.


Thanks for the fantastic birthday gift Rawbean! I've used everything so far and it's all amazing!! I'm really digging this new cocktail kick we're on.That ginger syrup - the best??!


Why can't every day be like this?!

I love it too! Also I need that recipe for home made chai - when I read it, my mouth drooled.

Okay so I wrote the above yesterday and the phone rang and now I'm back at my computer, I have NO idea what I was planning to write...so you get this instead!

That looks like an amazing getaway. I'm glad you guys were able to do this. I'm completely jealous.

Also, it makes me laugh that rawbean started writing a sentence and abandoned it for a day!
