Two beautiful weeks....

The past few years I actually haven’t had a holiday plus in amongst that, it feels like I lost a year or two somewhere and I can’t seem to find them anywhere. I did go to India in 2023 but my goodness, that was no holiday. To date that has been my hardest retreat. So happy to share that my holiday time arrived for me in the form of Courteney and Marc popping over to Portugal for a visit…. and what a visit it was.

My love tank filled to the brim.

My heart has honestly been so full since their visit. It truly was the most beautiful gift of my year so far and there have been so many wonderful moments already which I have so much to be grateful for. I have been missing my girl so much, it’s been the longest time we have spent apart from each other and we are both not loving that part very much. It made this encounter so precious. This time together will carry me for some months to come, until we can see each other again.

 
 

I took the two full weeks off and being tourists with these two awesome humans was next level wonderful. We did lots of incredible things but the most precious of all, for me, was walking everywhere together and preparing our meals together. We mostly ate at home, it was something we decided to do upfront and honestly, it was the highlight of my everyday.

To come together around the dinner table to share healthy food every day - pure magic.

Love this picture

I love how they integrated into my new world with such ease. Now everything makes much more sense to them when I share my news and stories about my life.

Another little gift… I got to play insta-mom for her and she got some lovely captures of me in my environment. So many beautiful moments and captures.

Marc popped over to Switzerland to see extended family which meant Corks and I had some down days at home and some touring together. We did a wonderful group hike and visited Sintra with my sister. We even experienced the full power outage that affected Spain and Portugal together by candlelight. On one of our down days we got to build the most special puzzle together. It sparked such a deep joy for both of us and we laughed until I cried. I have been searching for a comfie chair and this one has surpassed all my expectations. I wanted a chair that would feel like it was giving me a hug and oh boy, right on the money with that.

This precious memory will stay with me forever.

Thank you Marc and Corks for this precious time together, I hated saying goodbye and I miss you both a lot. I had the most precious time and these days have been tucked into my heart for eternity.

Until next time darlings. xxx
