I took a short break in a place called Pemberton, about a four hour drive from my home and stayed at a place called Big Brook Cottages. It was a great break - it was quiet, serene and the scenery was beautiful.
The view from the front of my cottage - Big Brook Forest
One of the trees on the trail to Big Brook Dam, gutted by a long ago fire. To give you an idea of the size, I could stand inside it with my arms outstretched and I still couldn't touch the sides!

The view from the left side of the cottage, picture taken at dusk.
And from the back
The log fire. It was lovely and freezing at night.
I was missing the 6 cats a lot but this regular visitor (owned by the cottage owners) made up for that. Here's Kailey
Mid wag:
And relaxing in front of the fire
It was a lovely few days away and I hope to go back there sometime.
