In celebration of our year of 40th birthdays, my high school sweethearts and I left our combined 17 children #yes17 and spent a gorgeous two nights at Crown Towers. Our friendships have weathered many storms over the last almost 3 decades, with too many memories, moments and life events to count. There is something so safe about being with those who know all your secrets and still love you. I know the faces of these 4 women as well as I know my own and that is something to be treasured. How lucky we are. #butarentwestill17 #doyouhavejimbeam #highschoolsweethearts #40andfabulous #festivalof40

Besties 💕 after spending a couple of nights away with my school besties of 28 years it makes you realise how important these friendships are. These two peas in a pod will be celebrating their 40th together in 28 years, of that I'm sure.

And that's a wrap! We travelled far, there was laughter, tears, moments of immense joy, moments of complete frustration, a whole lotta love and breathtaking scenery. In summary of our little adventure.. 1. When on Italian roads, the biggest ego wins #mattsgrewconsiderably #iwasntbraveenough 2. Italians use as little land as possible for roads.. a 1.6mtr lane is in fact a two way road, the steep incline is a bonus 😳 3. My children are excellent and resilient travellers and humans. 4. My most favourite times in Italy were just hanging on a beach with my 4 humans. 5. Our English family are the definition of warmth and kindness #youcanallmovetoaustralianowplease 6. And lastly, God bless Peter Rabbit, those downloaded episodes saved our sanity too many times to count #whotravelswitha2yearold #oh,us

Walking out of dinner the other night in our little village, we caught a Catholic celebration of 'the heart of jesus'. Flower petals formed a path on the main road through town from the chapel and priests and school children walked the path whilst women hung white cloths from their windows from above. Beautiful.

I quite like this man who also happens to be the best husband for me. We weren't overly happy with our choice of accommodation in Sant'agata sui de golfe and, as we still have another 4 nights here, and I may or may not have had a little (#big) meltdown this morning after a disastrous trip to the supermarket, we moved to the place that we had originally wanted which was randomly still available. This is us heading to dinner at a lovely little family run restaurant overlooking the Amalfi coast, 1 child takes the shot, 1 is taking snapchat selfies and the other is running or climbing somewhere being nuts and demanding lemonade because you know, we're on holidays and all routine and health is out the window. Meltdown is over and with all my eggs in my nest we're settled in our new lovely, albeit temporary, Italian home. Buona notte 😋

Popped over to Positano today (as you do 😉) summary as follows.. Si, molto bello! More stairs, my lord the Italians love a step, #andyoudidntthinkmylegscouldgetmoremuscle 🤔 my Australian children prefer pebbles to sand #outoflucktherekids super expensive #insertemptywallet and more crazy, busy, winding, tiny, tiny roads #insertkirstygrippingseatswhilstcalmhusbanddrives 😊 and finally, found my retirement house, a wee pink villa nestled in the hill #madeforme 💒
