Nothing restores feeling of inner balance better than 3 days at ocean shore, almost “unplugged.” It was a wonderful mini-vacation full of serenity and beauty.
I’m sorry I had to come back that soon. I’m glad to be back – back to Rusty, to my blog, even to work. I missed you. I hope summer is treating you well. Is it?

Mini vacation are the best but they always end too early. I hope things in your life, especially work, will calm down a bit. I and everyone else miss your perfume stories from life.

Almost any vacation feels a little too short :) On the positive side, it wasn’t long enough to pile up too much work at the office, so coming back was OK.

Yay for short getaways, double yay for coming home to very little work pile up. It’s the preparing and after work that make holidays harder Undina. Wouldn’t it be lovely to be in the kind of job that you can walk out and walk back in without skipping a beat?

If to add to that teleportation to and from the vacation spot AND Rusty being able to travel with me, life would have been just perfect! :)

I guessed Mendocino was on the Californian coastline but I looked it up to check. A population of just 900 – that is a perfect place to unwind. What a great pic. I feel calming just looking at your postcard. It’s a good sign you missed home, as much as you needed the break.
Summer in London is pretty good for us though it seems to be speeding by.

It is tiny. But it is lovely. And it has a special place in my heart because one of my favorite shows – Murder, she wrote – was filmed there.

Ahhhhhh…… Mendocino! I have such fond memories of weekends there in summer and autumn, dinners at Cafe Beaujolais and St. Orres, beach walks, moonlit nights….

We just had a great dinner (an anniversary celebration) at that cafe! They are still good!

Thanks for the postcard, Undina. Looks lovely from your pic. Mid-winter here. Fortunately, Johannesburg has lots of sun during the day with temperatures often around 20 degrees Celsius.

It was colder at Mendocino! It never got higher than 18-19C. But still pleasant.

Looks very scenic and rugged. I have not been further up that coast road than Bodega Bay, though I see that Redding – where I was recently as you know – is kind of up a bit and inland. I hope you feel rested from your mini-break, though I realise it was only short!

Even a short break helps!
Both the scenery and weather are alike at Bodega Bay and Mendocino, so you might think you almost were there :)

Lucky you for the short get-away! I have not been to California in many many years – it looks like I need to visit 😁

You definitely need to visit!
What’s good about where we live, the weather is good almost any time of the year – so you can come when the commute gets especially bad ;)
