Escape From The City
An eco-cabin in the country
Woken by kookaburras a few minutes shy of six, I stretch out in the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for a long time. A huge high soft bed that occupies most of the tiny bedroom of this eco-cabin.
I invited Caelin to share with me but he migrated to his mum’s bed to fall asleep. Keeley has the sofa bed. I was offered the sofa bed but declined.
I felt selfish but Keeley’s friend and her son Fletcher have the main bedroom of the cabin, slightly larger than mine and with the most expensive doona imported from the UK. I needed a sanctuary away from “kid noise”. I must be getting old but they’re so excited. 😆
Sharee, the farm and cabin’s owner, told us this when she came to show us how to start the diesel heater. Once warmed, the well-insulated cabin stays warm all night. It sure did.
My back has recuperated from my continuous efforts to get a fire going in the fire pit. My heart wasn’t in it. I wanted a hot shower and bed.
