We are back after a week of road tripping around the Victorian Goldfields. It’s one of those things we had been meaning to do with the kids, and about four weeks before the winter break, I said to CB that we should just go. Work however, was just too busy for me to even consider planning anything, […]

We’re back in the thick of school and work after the summer break. In some ways it seems as though we never stopped, but despite the busyness of the start of the year we are feeling refreshed. Over the summer we stopped to pick some wild plums growing on the sides of the road. They […]

*steps up to the microphone tap tap tap… is this thing on??? Hello! Long time no blog.

You guys, I have begun half a dozen blog posts in the last few weeks, and then they sit there in my drafts folder and go no further. I don’t know about you, but the summer holidays have whizzed by, and I’ve been back at work for a week now (insert sad face). I’m taking […]
