Day 21


What a glorious day. Absolutely ready for a good sleep after a double header this evening at the gym - BodyStep followed by Yoga. I started today with a glass of my green superfood vital greens before preparing my green juice. I am now combining freshly juiced apple, lemon, cucumber and celery with blended greens. I found a recipe for another one this evening - the 'happy shake' so I will definately be giving that a try really soon. Today we had a date with our two little nephews so I packed us all a picnic and off we went to beautiful Boonah for the day. As I prepared food for them I began to dream up healthy raw food the boys would love so it was very interesting to find Stacy's blog this evening as she works with families to introduce them to raw cuisine. We dropped into our favourite vintage haunts and then had a picnic where we spotted two frill necked lizards and some very friendly magpies and had a grand time playing on the swings and playset. We then stopped into the Story Tree, a most charming little cafe, well stocked with good books, great espresso, teas & slices and a fabulous play area for little ones. One last minute stop to look for a vase for my orchids was a success before the rain came to escort us home. I love driving in the rain listening to classical music - it's a treat in itself! The boys were out like a light and didn't even wake up when we stopped to pick up a bag of fresh vine ripened roma's! If you haven't been to visit Boonah, do take the time soon - it is only 45 minutes from Ipswich and the drive out through the Scenic Rim is breathtaking - rain, hail or shine!
