A weekend away

Last weekend we had a few days away with some old friends, one of which had just celebrated her birthday.
 






We enjoyed staying at a great house again. I wish I lived here for all the great photo backdrops!

And we enjoyed cooking and eating some great food, including this naan made by birthday girl. Note the many uses for a wine bottle :-)
















We also enjoyed some of our favourite beverages, including champagne (birthday girl's favourite), great wines (wisely chosen by birthday girl's guitar playing other half) and great coffee - our friends are as obsessed by good coffee as we are so we always take the coffee machine, grinder and fresh beans with us ;-) And last but not least we had this amazing ginger beer that I've been dreaming of ever since, made with birthday girl's favourite cooking gadget.
















Of course there was also time for some crafting by the kids and us big girls.

 
Including a new addition to my ever expanding array of polymer clay necklaces, this one using a metallic grey clay.
