Sometimes fast sneaks up. The calendar is suddenly full, the kitchen benches cluttered and conversation hasty as doors are closed and opened simultaneously. That’s alright though, it really is. Ebb and flow right.
For me, it’s important to balance all that out with a few days of slowing it down some.
There’s a long chat holding the boy’s hand. A walk in soft rain with a reluctant whippet. A short coffee somewhere different. Chuckles with friends. Lots of chuckles…chuckles are good for the soul. Taking the time to listen to stories with strangers, and hanging out with the family, somewhere different.
That somewhere different was the Nostalgia Festival in Kurri Kurri. A place where time has slowed right on down, Elvis is still the king, (and cars had a turning circle of half a football field.)
Those photos are magic. I wish I had been there to witness it all and I’m not even an Elvis fan.
Cheers Kate

Thanks Kate. I’m not usually an Elvis fan either but the whole retro vibe was great to be involved in…and those cars really are beautiful 🙂
