We would always head up the east coast of Tasmania and stay at our cousin's shack. My parents were both school teachers so they always had the same holidays as us. We just used to hang out, playing card games, reading and visiting beaches (even when it was chilly). I'm sure your boys will remember these holidays as fondly!Marian Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611229357228521510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-31918288580533189932011-10-12T13:24:18.473+11:002011-10-12T13:24:18.473+11:00Between your brekkie with your dukkah and Kurma&#...Between your brekkie with your dukkah and Kurma's http://www.iskcon.net.au/kurma/2011/10/09#a8997<br />I gotta get cracking!Cathg1g2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-14982603219159936662011-10-12T08:25:50.185+11:002011-10-12T08:25:50.185+11:00Oh Ruth, you know I am right there with you on the...Oh Ruth, you know I am right there with you on the subject of hols, and back-to-school-heartache! <br />Gorgeous post.

I sat there reading it eating the night before's roast dinner for lunch amongst the detritus of a house abandoned from the daily deadlines of school and work of which on Monday's I'm absolved.<br />A curious silence also pervades our house during these times. Gazing at my own strewn clothes, brekkie dishes and the tumble of bed linen I almost feel like an intruder carefully stepping amongst the footnotes of other peoples lives.<br />These moments are at once liberating and scary to meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-36716023320387869822011-10-11T10:44:25.197+11:002011-10-11T10:44:25.197+11:00I so admire your approach to school holidays.

It was very different at our place and often feel very sad about it. Always stressed and wishing they were over...because, sadly, working outside the home and 4 weeks annual leave just does not work with 12 weeks holidays! : ( I was always juggling and stressing ahead of time, what on earth I would do with them when I had to work.<br />Any who, we all survived. <br />Love that Dukkah recipe...simply and sooooo tasty. Might whip up a batch this weekend.<br />Beautiful snaps, catching the holiday mood so perfectly.Bang and Whimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488642623403197312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-80987605234583299662011-10-11T01:33:18.823+11:002011-10-11T01:33:18.823+11:00I bet your house seemed so big and quiet today.
