#getaways - to 'fill' (or repair) the artist's cup

As a finalist this year, I am planning to head off to the Bay of Fires Art Awards to see the exhibition while its on from 9 to 12 June. I am planning to 'fill my cup' on an overnight short #getaway. This is a 3.5 hour drive from home with various stops along the way making it a long, interesting, enjoyable day.

St Helens, on the East Coast of Tasmania is a beautiful area to explore

I find getaways to be 'filling my cup' - replenishing mental, emotional and physical energies. On a #getaway one doesn't need to 'stop' ... its a way of doing, thinking, being on a different level but there is a break from daily cooking, washing up, hanging out laundry and other everyday things.

I liken it, on a metaphorical level, to Kintsugi, The Japanese Art of Repairing Ceramics using Gold. #getaways are gold to me.
