Greg and I returned home
yesterday from a night away at Echoes in Katoomba. I was given a
voucher when I left work earlier this year, and we finally got away to
use it. Echoes is a Boutigue Hotel perched on the edge of the escarpment in Katoomba and
has great views over the valley below. Our room was very luxurious
with a door onto the balcony, and then through the garden to a lovely
sunny grassy area, just great for lazing about, dreaming and reading.
Dinner was included, and for dessert I had a delicious rhubarb tartlet
with a strip of white chocolate with colourful patterns in it. Looked
pretty spectacular. Thursday morning after a leisurely breakfast
looking out over the valley we took a trip around the area to the scenic
railway, skyway and cableway, and then we took a walk to the Leura
Cascades. I remember our family used to holiday up in Katoomba quite a
bit so it was a nostalgic walk down to the Cascades. After an icecream
in Leura and a visit to the lolly shop where we found different flavours
of Skittles, we travelled back to reality.

Echoes is a beautiful place and I am so pleased we had the opportunity to enjoy it. Thank you to my old work.
And where's the card? This one has minimal stamping and a few rub ons. Sounds simple, but as you can see I didn't line the stamping up very well.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mums. Hope your children look after you well. We are off to Glenbrook for lunch with the family. Enjoy your weekend.
