A Trip To Daylesford
A lovely relaxing few days getaway to Daylesford with Deb & Sebastian, in our lovely little cabin with its sensational little fire keeping us nice and cosy warm.
Our little cabin
We enjoyed a elegant morning tea (breakfast for us) at The Convent on Wombat Hill that consisted of some delicious fruit loaf lightly toasted, a Lemon Curd Tart to die for and some scones with Jam and cream. All of this served on the enclosed verandah of the restored convent on a lovely misty morning.

We Enjoyed a nice time at the Hepburn Springs Bathhouse with it's sensational natural mineral water bath, Sebastian thoroughly enjoyed it splashing about like crazy.
Plenty of relaxing and playing with Sebastian who was all smiles on his first family holiday.

We took a drive out to The Chocolate Mill which imports Belgium chocolate melts it down and hand makes all their chocolate onsite and is only sold onsite and some products online. www.chocmill.com.au
The Chocolate Mill
The Chocolates are magnificent as are the hot chocolates we enjoyed whilst there.
The Building itself was made of hay bales and the construction was quite fascinating, you can read more about it all on their site along with a series of photos along the way The Chocolate Mill Construction

What to say about the Natural Springs of Daylesford, dissapointment! The most un-natural springs I have ever seen, sure lovely scenery, a nice creek walk and some concrete springs.

A lovely misty morning in the main street of Daylesford
A sensational Gourmet Larder Big Breakfast with one of the best home made Salsa sauces I have tasted, needless to say we bought a jar of this fantastic stuff and will become a part of our weekend big breakfast back home.

Sandy Point Running.
Deb and Rob both took part in the Sandy Point half marathon, whilst Mak took part in the 10km run along the picturesque Beach Road and Esplanade in Sandringham.
The support crew of Ann, Ros, Sebastian and myself were in attendance and doing our best running impersonations from the sidelines, well me and Seb were anyway.
With parking chaos near the start/finish line I decided to head out to the 4km marker which also had the advantage of seeing the runners come back as 5km was the turnaround point so the 4km marker was also the 6km marker heading the other direction.
Seb had a wonderful time in his Jeep pram laughing hilariously as the runners rolled past, luckily he didn't laugh too much as Deb, Rob and Mak came past us.
Once we had seen the crew run out and back past the 6km mark we headed back into the start finish line to meet up with Ann & Ros, whilst Deb and Rob still had a fair way to go to reach their 21.2km finish line Mak would be finished in no time setting a cracking pace when we saw him.
As it turned out Mak did beat us to the Finish line posting an impressive 50 minutes and 2.7 seconds a personal best by nearly 6 minutes!
Deb completed her small run in 2 and a half hours, whilst Rob crossed the line in just over 3 hours.
A great effort by all the athletic folk and a great effort by the support crew as well, putting up with one of the worst coffees ever known to man was no mean feat.
