ONE I picked up these gorgeous tile trivets when I was in Sydney last week with Hannah. We went to see Ed Sheeran concert last week (we gave her the tickets for her birthday in December) and took the opportunity to spend a few hours wandering the city and exploring all the things we can’t…

Taking Stock | January 2018
Summer holidays really are the best time of the year. We’ve had Christmas at the farm with all my family, followed by a week up the coast with them again. Now we are home and enjoying some downtime. I’ve had some breathing space which has got my brain ticking over with lots of different ideas…
Big Things and Little
I’ve been trying to get back to the blog for what seems like forever. School holidays seem to be my most creative times, mainly because I actually have a little time to focus on things other than the essentials. I seem to go on about slow living, but I’m not always great at actually slowing…
Things I Like | September 2017

Miscellaneous
It’s hard to believe, but we are already up to planning next summer’s garden. Seed catalogues are being studied. With the house renovation taking up all our spare time, our vegetable plot has been sorely neglected and we have even had to buy vegetables this winter (!!). We do have some kale and broccoli coming on,…
Lately
Hooray for holidays, and not a moment too soon. On Friday afternoon Hannah and I left school 30 seconds after the bell rang, and we were on the road to Sydney within 15 minutes of us getting home. We spent the weekend with my family and then went to the Easter show on Monday. The…
