You didn’t know I’d been away, did you? That’s thanks to the schedule posting facility of WordPress. I’ve been to Kiama which is on the coast, 1 1/2 hours south of Sydney. The Southern Cross Quilters’ Retreat was on there. I didn’t go. I had been planning to but in the end decided against it. I did, however, rent a house and shared it with some other ladies – one of whom went to the Retreat. Want to see some pics? In this post I’ll show you the house and view and then during the next few days I’ll show you some more of Kiama itself.

That really is a sunrise. The smoke alarm battery expired at 3am! The alarm then beeped until the handy many was able to replace it. (Taking the battery out wasn’t an option as they were wired to the mains and kept beeping after they’d been removed!) Not much sleep that night! More tomorrow.
I want to do that. Actually we have a retreat about 45 minutes from my home in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota and I’ve ever been. On my bucket list.
That sounds lovely Jan.
What fun! …..you went and you didn’t invite me???…….lol.
Glad you had a good time!

Oh my goodness, what a lovely place for a retreat!!! If I come to visit, can you and I stay there? lol
But you didn’t mention how we could hear the sound of the waves on the beach and smell the lovely sea breezes. Oh, and watch the surfers on their boards.
It was heaven.
Lots of lovely natural light to sit and sew …….. and chat of course!
True. It was lovely to hear the pounding of the waves and we did laugh at lot too!
