Pemberton in Western Australia

It's just so amazing in this business to have the time flexibility to attend the kids sports days, assemblies and take a long weekend whenever we like.

Although I tend to work late at night I find I'm most creative then. Family is asleep, no phones ringing and I just get so much done. The next morning I might think "geeezz I should have gone to bed earlier" but it's worth it in the end.

Our latest long weekend was a trip to Pemberton in Western Australia. Beautiful countryside and so relaxing. the cottages were very comfortable, with great beds and a view to die for.

We stayed on a working farm and the kids loved feeding the lambs, cows, chickens, goats, donkey's and the wild birds. It's just so amzing to get away from it all and live in the country. We envied the owners of the farm as they certainly have a very special place there.

Being energetic people we conquered a 10km walk on the Saturday. We saw a couple of people at the beginning of the walk and no-one else for the rest... a little daunting being in the middle of no-where but the views, smells and bird noises kept us intrigued.

It was a special weekend and another one to add to our memories.
