I worked from home for the first time in ages today and of course I planned to sleep in but woke up at 5:30am. So, after watching YouTube videos about caring for Fiddle Leaf Figs and Monsteras for about an hour and a half, I decided to order some flowers from an online delivery service…

My friend Julie and I did a wonderful class in Ikebana – the art of Japanese flower arrangements. It was such a lovely afternoon, even if I did kind of fall half asleep in the car – sorry Julz! We did three arrangements each and were allowed to bring them home with us. Here are some…

Oh Paris. I’ve always wanted to go there, but have never been before. In the last couple of days before my flight home from Amsterdam, I took the fast train to Paris, for just a day trip. I took a ‘hop-on-hop-off’ bus and saw the sights – even to make me desperate to come back…

I’ve been up well before sunrise 4 days out of 6 this week. Early starts at work are not the best fun, but at least I get to catch the sunrise. This morning (Sunday) was the first time I felt compelled to actually go out and watch the sunrise, and I was very happy to…

I went out with a friend on Australia Day (26 January) for drinks and pizza and a few more drinks, and a stroll around the neighbourhood. It was such a lovely afternoon – perfect temperature, great conversation, really nice. I was home by 8pm, just in time for sunset, so I spent five minutes (actually…

My friend suggested we go to a Peony Festival – how could I say no to that?! I do love peonies and it was a gorgeous day, so off we went at about 8:30 this morning. It was about an hour and twenty minutes drive to the estate and we started with a little stroll…

Since moving to Melbourne more than two years ago, I’ve yet to find a good spot to capture sunsets. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of great sunset spots, but finding somewhere easy to get to and at the right time of day is difficult. Given where I work though, I might have to…
