It’s Tuesday today… we’re still on holiday, although home now. We went away for the weekend, just to Windsor (near Brisbane) while the boys were away at camp. We rested, went to markets, drank coffee – a refreshing and peaceful stay!
It was touch and go if we would get there at all – Little Bean had been feeling “icky” during the week, then stressed up to Friday about ruining everyone’s weekend… right up to the bus left, he still wasn’t 100% sure. We would have been fine staying home with him, but he decided in the end to go…
Our first view… we stayed at PJ’s on Fifth, which we found through Stayz. It’s a site for holiday accommodation of varying types and prices. This one was someone’s house – the downstairs was modified as a self-contained flat. The owners weren’t there while we were, although they apparently are most times.
The bedroom 🙂
The place was pretty much two rooms (bedroom, combined kitchen/dining/lounge room) connected by a hallway with bathroom/toilet off the hallway.

Looking through to the back yard – this was our view over breakfast…
We got there Friday afternoon and got food in for the weekend (chocolate! 🙂 ) Had a Thai takeaway, then off to Glory City Church for Friday night service. Lots of worship, lots of prayer – just right to start a great weekend!
Went to the Fortitude Valley Markets on Saturday morning (a bit of a disappointment) but enjoyed a brownie and coffee in Bakery Lane, which made up for it 🙂
We were hoping to see Riverfire from the house, but the houses opposite got in the way. Watched it on TV while eating another takeaway. (posh miniburgers and chips, which means they had lots of herbs, sea salt and a bit of aioli…) 🙂
Took in Northey Street Farm Markets on the way home Sunday morning, after another morning lingering over breakfast on the back patio. Home, kept the holiday vibe going until we got the boys home later that afternoon. Still feeling in holiday mood, even though I’m back to studying 🙂
I’ll finish with a photo of the flowers outside our holiday place.
Sweet and fragrant, just like our weekend!
