The River

I wanted to share with you, what we were lucky enough to find pretty much right on the doorstep of our weekend escape cabin. Leaves were collected, stones skipped, fresh air breathed and souls made content.

Weekend escape

This weekend, some friends (2 grown-ups, 2 wee ones and a very well behaved dog), Richard and I piled into a car and headed off into the woods. After burritos to fill us up, a bit of singing and a touch of knitting we arrived at our little cabin. What a treat!

Richard reads his banned book 'The Crucible' as I knit whilst in comfy tights.

The next 3 days were spent reading, knitting, watching fun movies, eating good food, skipping stones in the river and visiting an Elvis themed greasy spoon (both the river and the greasy spoon deserve their own posts).

Here are a few of my favourite cabin moments....

Julie's jam and banana on toast, tea and a rock from Quinn. Good morning, Cabin!

Chopping kindling and sampling berries.

Collecting and finding

Fall colours in the valley, and folks collecting firewood

Warmth

I think the fire was my favourite part, aside from the company.
