Daylesford

Hey Guys,

I had a brilliant time in Daylesford with the girls. It started with Bronwyn and I planning the food for the weekend and going shopping. Then dinner Friday night. It was a really nice time to just sit back, eat some nice food (risotto, flourless choc cake with light ice cream and cream), have a glass of wine - then.... PLAY DRESSUPS!!! This house we were staying in had a dress-up rack. Oh my Lord, it took me back to my childhood. We had a ball - photos were taken, I'll have to get my grubby hands on them.

Saturday we started with a walk around Daylesford Lake (this is a beautiful walk), then breakfasted before wandering around the town and checking out the shops etc. This was followed by lunch and the first group of spa girls. Erin got there just in time to enjoy her clay wrap and massage, emerging looking like she'd just come out of a bedroom! The spa was great. We all really enjoyed our treatments, felt a million dollars and the people at Endota Spa Daylesford (not a plug really) were lovely. More food after this, great pastas and cous cous pudding for dessert. Then we enjoyed (not that we needed it) a cheese, dip etc platter while we played quiz and card games. This was followed by a trip to a dodgy bar. (just have to say we did around 18,000 steps on Sat!)

Sunday, again we walked around the lake (except Dana who needed some sleep after the port). Then we went out for a really nice brunch at this little place called the Black Cauldron, but I'm going to assume that that's not what our food was cooked in. We headed off to the Chocolate Mill after a trip around the Market. OMG!! The chocolate was lovely. Home beckoned after all this, and a good time was had by all :-)
