Winter Sun, Pink Bubbles and the Tour de Warburton

It’s the last day of the school holidays. How did that happen?

Hubby has taken the day off work, so it was time to hit the road and go on a family adventure. Destination… the Yarra Valley.

The Munchkin and I settle down on the deck of Innocent Bystander, while Hubby samples a few wines. The Munchkin is in his own little world, locked behind sunglasses with The BFG audiobook plugged into his ears.

The sun is warm – that fabulous, but rare, Winter Sun. Just the perfect weather for a Moscato, I decide. I pause and lap up those life-giving rays.

My wine arrives and I savour its sweet, bubbly goodness. Lunch is delicious.

Next we head off towards the Warburton Rail Trail for a ride. I watch my boys (one big, one small) pretend to be Tour de France riders, sprinting for the finishing line. I am content to be in a rather relaxed palleton of one.

Life is good.

Today I am grateful.
