What's happening in my world



Lamingtons with homemade flags on Australia Day. Swedish ones too, to celebrate Mark & the children's Swedish heritage.


A trip to the Big Smoke. Macaroons, so many colours on display. A visit to Melbourne always includes a stop at Laurent in the Causeway Lane.


Coffee too and lots of chatting with my newly enrolled daughter! We also visited her new accommodation which looks great, yay!


True Grit followed by a crazy night at the Vic, not much sleep and a rather strange breakfast. 


Back home under a swirling sky,


to chocolate sponge cake,


red hot pokers,


a lone donut peach &


the cool shade of the quince tree.

 What's happening in your world? It's the last week of school holidays for us, school starts on Friday. What a long break it has been. I'm looking forward to getting back into some kind of routine, having some walks, decluttering after two months of cluttering, seeing friends for coffee and thinking about what comes next. Hope all is well with you lovely friends, see you soon xo

What a lovely, colourful time you have been having - and are you quite well again, Beck? We are in the low point of winter, with colds and flu hopefully in the past, and the dreaded 'gastro' hopefully kept at bay! But there are skiing trips and bulbs peeking up, too...

Busy busy busy! We are labelling school books today too for the return on Friday. I just need to find more school dresses and I will be all ready for the start and perhaps have some quiet time to myself too.

Our kids have already been back a week. It seems the Smiggle virus has caught on at your house too! We always stayed at the Vic when we were kids too. It seemed very posh to a country kid at the time, even though we stayed in the cheap rooms that had no bathroom. Nice memories.

Love Red Hot Pokers.
Warm peaches straight from the tree, oh, my mouth is watering.

Hope all goes well with the back to school routine and decluttering.

Busy life you have!!!! It's so strange to see you coming back from summer vacation (or holiday, as you call it) while we're just getting back from winter break here in the US!
