Hello from Magic Beach – our fave place to spend a Summer holiday. Magic Beach, of course, is not it’s real name, but the kids call it that after a book of the same name. We arrived before New Year’s Eve, and have been spending our time swimming, reading, playing board games, and generally relaxing. Add in plenty of good food and we are in heaven.

For the past 7 years, we have been visiting the same house on the central coast. A week of slow days after the manic-ness of Christmas and the end of the school year. This year is our last year in this old house, which is about to be sold and, no doubt, pulled down so that something more modern can be built instead. While I’m sure it will be beautiful, something will be lost when the old shack with its’ quirks is pulled down.

So we are savouring the last slow days here at Magic Beach.

It’s going to be a rough return to reality!

Are you enjoying some slow days?
