Endings and Beginnings

Well here we are at another Friday, the end of most peoples working week. Not so for me - for me it's the beginning of another weekend of looking after guests at "Old Chilli " in Daylesford". But this weekend I have mixed feelings as it is the last weekend I will be here in beautiful Daylesford. My mixed feelings are sadness that my wonderful 12 month adventure of managing the BnB is coming to an end, but also happiness that I am heading home and will have more time to catch up with not only my family but my friends as well.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my 12 months, I have meet some really lovely people, had experiences that I never thought I would have and proved to myself I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I did not take on this adventure as a money making venture but a personal growth venture. A couple of months ago I was at a loss as to think of any personal growth I had made over the time but in the past 8 weeks or so I have had a a few revelations both spiritually and mentally that I now know that my time in Daylesford has given me exactly what it was supposed to. Very appropriately my "Medicine Wheel" message for this month is "Success"!! Do I feel my 12 months at "Old Chilli " has been a success? Yes, definitely!!
So now I move onto my next 8 month life adventure . Why 8 months - well as of mid January 2013 Shane and I will be travelling around Australia for 12 months - so looking forward to writing about all the places we visit. So what will the next 8 months bring - I don't know but what I do know it will be an adventure! No matter what you, do make sure your life too is an ADVENTURE!!

Happy Easter

I hope everyone out there had a lovely Easter. Mine was a bit different from other years. As I am in Daylesford at the B&B I have been very busy with guests. This is also the very first Easter I have spent alone - no family or friends. Not that I have been bored or lonely, my long weekend has been full of breakfasts, making up rooms and other B&B stuff. But it hasn't all been work, today I indulged in some crafty ventures.

What do you do when you have lots of soap bits - Make new soap of course.



After I had finished my soap experiment I decided to tackle the last bit of candle making supplies I had and make up some more wonderful smells in the kitchen.

Early morning in Rye

I sat watching this man do some surf fishing in the distance... as he left the beach with his head lowered I thought he had not had a lucky mornings fishing ... but when I looked at the shot enlarged I felt better for him, as I can see a tail in the bucket.. yeah he would have had breakfast!!
Which way will me wings take me ??...... Sometimes I wonder this myself !!

I would like to wish all out there (I hope you are out there!!) a very happy and extremely safe Easter. This is a very strange Easter for me as it is the fist time in my life I will be spending Easter on my own. Well not on my own, there are guests at Old Chilli B&B, but I don't know them.
