I spent this weekend on a yoga retreat in King Lake, in the Yarra Valley. I had booked in for it in mid 2020 when I saw Kris had booked and then it was rescheduled and rescheduled, and then it happened! It was a delightful weekend. The house was situated on a hill, with views over fields and a tiny wood. There was even a small flock of sheep!
The food was delightful, as was the gin tasting and matched wines. (It was not an ascetic retreat!)
The other women there were interesting and fun and lovely - I already knew Kris, of course, but the group was just perfect.
I went for a little run on Friday morning, which was the first run I've been on by myself in as long as I can remember. I was running through fields - that is the only wallaby I saw all weekend.
We did sunrise yoga in a room overlooking the hills (the sun currently rises at 7.30, but getting up at dawn sounds so hardcore!)
We went for a bushwalk. But mainly, in between yoga and eating, we sat around and read and chatted. Kris and i also knitted, and I got the body of my Swancho cast off. It needs a blocking, but I think it will be great once the shoulders are in the right place and the hem doesn't fold.
Not the best photo, but look at the view! I sat around in the sun too much and got burnt.
It was such a recharging, refreshing and delightful weekend.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Your swancho is beautiful!
