STORY: Travelling

Last week was our ten year wedding anniversary, and my husband and i were incredibly lucky to be able to go away on a driving and hiking trip we had booked in almost a year ago. I know how lucky we were to be able to go away, when so many friends and family interstate and overseas aren’t able to leave the house at the moment, and I’m so immensely grateful that my husband and i were able to celebrate such a big milestone in our marriage together like we did.
We had the best time ever!
