Rain, rain, rain and even more rain

I found the perfect way to spend a sodding wet weekend. Go to Hanmer Springs with a bunch of gal pals and just chill out!
Up on Saturday morning with a very enjoyable stop at The Mud House winery for tasty winter fare, warmth and a chance to chat. The eight of us travelled in two cars so it was nice to get talking asap. Lovely food and very nice wine. Next stop was our home for the weekend. Fire on, bags dumped, beds bagged and off to the pools for a hot soak in the rain. It was so busy as usual and just lovely. We sheltered in various pools under the sail clothes and just chilled out and watched the stories unfold.

Home, wine, nibbles, laughing and almost snoozing before heading off to Malabar for a delicious evening meal. If you are in Hanmer you have to visit this place. Book ahead, it is very busy. Home for a big snooze after lots of silly giggling.Me up early as Nicholas has programmed me to be and onto the sofa with a book and my MP3 player. Late breakfast at The Powerhouse then some serious shopping and off to The Spa for 'treatments' and home in the rain rain rain. What lovely women and great conversations. Can't ask for more than that. I loved it and felt so relaxed when I got home ready for another week of life on the treadmill. Thanks gals.
