One fine day

Well, it's actually been more than one fine day, wow what a weekend! Such wonderful weather and we are truly lucky as I know it's not been like this across the whole of the country (continent - easy to forget sometimes!).

So our decision has been made and not without heartbreak. We are going to stay in Australia for the time being because of the work and opportunities. Looking at these photos I took today you wouldn't think it should be a hard decision to make but I do really miss my family, friends and all the good old English things!

Nothing is permanent however and I fully intend to make the most of wherever we live and whatever we do and there will be lots of travel and visits inbetween :-)

A bit of this and that

Such a gorgeous day today in Sydney, not a cloud in the sky. I hope you're all having a lovely weekend! :-)

Smitten Kitten

I've mentioned Lobster & Swan before but I just wanted to post some pictures of the author, Jeska's beautiful home and bits and pieces.

I'm still in quiet disbelief that she isn't an interior designer, stylist or have her own beautiful book of photos published but there you go. I think it might be a case of watch this space!

For the love of flowers

Isn't it funny how a beautifully styled room is just not complete without a beautiful stem or bunch of flowers? Whether freshly picked, scooped up from the local florist, quickly snatched while on the food run at the supermarket or carefully selected fakes (like my cream and plum coloured hydrangeas), I don’t think any part of my home would look quite as good without.
