When my husbands rang this morning and said “hi dear what are you up to?” did I reply :-
a) Morning darling I’m just giving the house a quick spring clean.
b) Hi sweaty I’m just browsing the latest Ikea catalogue looking for some fresh decorating ideas.
c) Hay suger I’m just doing a cross stitch.
or was it
d) G’day I’m just cutting up some fresh lambs […]

What a weekend, I had a ball at the retreat and got all the photos I took with me finished.  The retreat we go to is an hours drive into the country side and once there you are forced to relax and have fun, no mobile service means no interruptions ha ha ha!  All your meals […]

 
Sniff, cough, splutter, sneeeeeez, blow … sniff!  I am sick, SICK.  I have a head cold and it’s really ugly.  Sniff. I have a huge red nose, you may call me Rudolf if you wish but teasing me may cause me to sneeze at which point you will regret being so close to me!  Sniff.  I have four […]

One of the on going issues with my son Bailey and his Autism is that he eats without thinking, he has no idea of how much he has eaten and can often over eat.  We’ve had some disasters when I have thoughtlessly left the biscuits on the table and the next thing they are all […]

I went thrifting on Saturday afternoon with Christmas bits and bobs on my wish list,  as luck would have it I found just what I was looking for.  Two sets, yes two sets, of crystal look-a-like candle sticks and a very cute crystal jug, perfect for custard or gravy.  Last year, you may recall, I hosted Christmas […]

Last night my sister, Penny, and I went to see Hairspray at the flicks and I have to say that it’s the best movie I’ve seen this year. I loved everything about it, from the amazing 60’s wardrobe to the music that makes you want to get up and dance, fantastic shoes and hairstyles to […]

When I got home from work yesterday I was feeling tired, stressed and just a bit fed up.  The first thing I heard when I walked through the doors was “Mum you’ve got mail, quick come and see”.  Now they are words to cheer the heart and lift any girls spirits.  Not only did I […]

Ah spring I love it so much.  We attended our first BBQ of the season and of course there were snags, beer, wine, good friends and a lovely light pav decorated with cream, fresh summer fruit and M’n’M’s.  Now what more could a girl ask for … Jonny Wilkinson to retire perhaps?

Have a wonderful week everyone.

This morning I have received four emails from people complaining that I have sent them inappropriate emails via Flickr … let me assure anyone who may have received a “Flickr” email in my name that I have not, would not and will not EVER send inappropriate email to anyone.  I have tried to reply to the emails […]

Here in Australia it’s Spring, and one of my favorite times of the year.

Spring to me holds the promise of something more to come, of new beginnings and of renewed life. 

When I look around my garden I see so much to look forward to.

It’s a time in my life when I find new direction.

Beauty is all around […]
