52 Blessings - Week 10
Yesterday was International Women’s Day and oddly enough, it coincided with a weekend away with the girls up at Bribie Island. Now what happens on Bribie, stays on Bribie and therefore, you won’t find any juicy details here. Sorry to disappoint! 
All up, we had around 12 women from right across the eastern states of Australia, converging on one tiny island north-east of Brisbane. I really don’t think the residents knew what hit them to be honest! When I think about it, we are a pretty diverse bunch at all stages of life - grandmothers, mothers and non-mothers (like me!) alike. It made for an interesting experience and I’m sure we won’t forget it in a hurry. It also made me appreciate where I am in life right now. Things might not be perfect - I have a dirty great hole in the backyard, a job I don’t really like and a horrid commute to work. But in the general scheme of things, it really is ok and there is nothing wrong with my life right now that I don’t have the power to change in some way. 
Our opinions of this errr…..interesting piece…varied, much like our differences in ages and lifestyles. So in salute to Bribie Island, I present the humble, chicken pie sculpture.
Trust me - the real thing is much, much more scary!

I agree - it was a fantastic weekend and I have to say (again) I just love that chicken pie
