There is nothing better than stepping out of your busy routine to escape to the ‘big smoke’ for two days of bliss with your bestie! That’s exactly what Melissa and I did last Monday and Tuesday for our Spring Melbourne mini-break.
Our trip was perfectly timed with ‘The House of Dior – Seventy Years of Haute Couture‘ exhibition at the NGV. Even though I grew up as ‘farm-girl-practical’ my Mum trained and worked as a Milliner and is a talented seamstress, so from a young age I was surrounded by beautiful fabrics, haberdashery and sewing. Walking into the Dior exhibition was a heaven unto itself.
We ate beautiful food, shopped, enjoyed uninterrupted conversations and didn’t have to worry about what to cook for dinner. I savoured the chance to wander with a friend and to be totally in the present moment.
I am so grateful for my supportive husband for this sacred time away, but I have now come down with the dreaded flu and have been in bed for three days! Hmmmmpppphhhh!
