Circuit Breaker

I went to the tiny Abbey of St Francis on Owl Island, to break the cycle. I stood under the fruit trees, picked ripened fruit and savored it as the juice dribbled down my arm. I soaked in the crisp air, slept peacefully in the tiny cloister and knew, that for this moment in time, the circuit had been broken.

Port Fairy Retreat

Posted by Heather Blakey on July 23, 2007

It was a retreat when I went to stay with my friends, Carolyn and Alan, who have restored and created an enchanted cottage at Port Fairy.

They have a little boat, moored on the Moyne River. The Moyne quay is very likely Port Fairy’s most beautiful aspect.

I stopped to savour the boats and think of Darryl who loved harbours and ports.

Enchanteur shopped with a passion and paraded her new clothes.
And I was just Heather
who relaxed and lived
for four days in the sea air.
