Take some time out, take a snap shot, and send us a post card!

Take some time out, take a snap shot, and send us a post card!

As a carer, time out is important. But now that it's winter time and it's cold and grey, I find that I'm tempted to just stay inside. To me, this makes it even more important to make an effort to get out and about. For some people, they can recharge by staying indoors, but for me, getting out into the fresh air means a lot to my well-being.

So this thread is about making sure we take some time out and sharing this experience with others. We often enjoy getting a post card from our friends who are on holidays. It can make us feel like we're on holidays too.

So take some time out, have a mini break or a long break! And then post photos, pictures, and/or comments on where you went.

Send us a post card!

This is my go to image when I need to look at something peaceful. It was taken looking over to Freycinet National Park in Tassie. Tassie is one my my favourite places in Aus to visit, so beautiful there.

Wow @Kiera80, that is spectacular! Did you take the photo? It looks so peaceful there.

@CherryBomb glad you like it. Yes I did take the photo. Photography is a hobby of mine when I get the time. I was in the right place at the right time to get that shot.

@NikNik Speaking of snow globes.....

Unfortunately I wasn't the one who got to travel to Paris. Might have to add that to my bucket list.

This was taken standing right inside my front door. It only flowers like this for about 2 weeks out of the whole year, but for those 2 weeks, it's what I open my door to every time I go outside. Lovely!!

In winter, it dies off, not even any leaves, just a bare branch, then as spring approaches, it comes to life!!

@Hobbit that looks very much like a wisteria, so beautiful. I wish I had room in my garden for one of these plants. The fragrance must be amazing too.

Hi @Kiera80 ,

Yep, you are right - it's wisteria. When it's literally the first thing you see right in front of your eyes when you open the door in the mornings, it puts the saying "stop and smell the roses" into context somewhat!!

And this one was taken from my back door. Hope you like it!
