Thanks for all the birthday messages yesterday. I had the most special day. Surprise breakfast picnic with my two girls, lunch at my fav Alpinos with my guy, a massage, a wee trip to Rumor, also my fav. Home to some beautiful flowers, thanksCathryn Peacocke. Then a special night with my Mum and Dad and family. Kayla made me the most amazing cake, oh and Teags drew me a picture! I can’t believe I’m 50!

One of our favourite families are staying this weekend. Welcome back for your third visit James, Amanda and your gorgeous wee family. We hope you enjoy all the familiar surroundings and animals and get to know the new. The icebath, the outdoor movie lounge, baby ducklings, baby chickens and bunnies, and of course Kenny. ❤️

Come and hang with us and the animals for a few hours. And enjoy all the luxuries at the Retreat.

Feed the animals, swim and soak in the hot tub, enjoy the sauna and brave the ice bath.

Before and after. It’s truly been a labour of love.

Here’s me, carefree, with a cocktail in my hand on holiday. And none the wiser to what was about to come my way.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we gift 3-4 weekends a year to various fundraisers for this cause. Breast cancer is the gift that keeps on giving, it doesn’t just end after surgery, and too many of us are affected by it. It’s not just us, it’s our husbands, our children, our grandchildren, parents, friends and colleagues.
So I cant rock a bikini anymore, so what. I’m alive. I’ll be walking in pink on the 26th of October to support a great cause around Hamilton Lake. And I’ll have Dolly with me, my daughters, and my grandkids. My friends, and most importantly, Paul, my best friend and supporter. Come and join me. It’s super easy to sign up. Just go the Pink Ribbon Fundraiser page and click on Hamilton. See you there!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting these two
adorable cuties and their Mum and Dad this weekend.

The Good Life Retreat is now offering a BnB package and the Byers family were our very first first guests. And what a great weekend we had. Good food, good wine, magical experiences, and lifelong memories were made. We can’t wait to have you back in November. Dolly is missing you already. ♥️

Check out our website in our bio to book your Bespoke BnB experience with us as your hosts at the Retreat.

So of course we kept her. ❤️ Our grandson has named her Elephant. A very firm no to other suggestions. 😂 so we’ll call her Ellie for short.

We have just had the pleasure of hosting the loviest family this weekend and it reminds us why we do it. Not only were they incredibly kind and appreciative, they were cool! It's heartwarming to see an adult family that care about each other and enjoy spending time together. We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to host them and we can’t wait to see them again soon. ♥️

Who needs the supermarket

There is something quite lovely about candlelight and wine. Yes I’d love an oven to cook dinner in tonight and hot water for a shower, but it’s nice to appreciate the little things in life on a day like today. 🌺
