Fresh flowers, fresh bread, fresh coffee.
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…

Quiet Isolation
It had been so long since she’d been on a plane. And years since her last long haul flight. She had forgotten the discomfort of sitting in the same place for so long. But she’d also forgotten the quiet, the isolation. Even sitting next to someone, it was almost a separate experience. They had shared…

The Puppies of Gilpin Park
I was going to do a “RegularRandom” at the park, but it’s really really random when puppies come by. So, I’ve decided to share these joyous pups with you in a normal post instead. Many of you know I’ve moved, but I really love this park, so I just keep coming here each weekend. It’s…

Paris – The Eiffel Tower
I’ve always had a thing for the Eiffel Tower. Seeing it in person was quite an experience. We were driving around on the hop-on-hop-off bus, everyone chatting and trying to keep warm on top of the bus, when I caught a glimpse, just before that first shot below. Such a thrill to get that first…

Paris – partie un.
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…

Do what you love.
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. – Rumi. This is my final series of edits from the Rhoeo spathacea shoot. This particular day (I’m writing this post the same night) I was feeling a little out of sorts. It was hot and humid and we’d been out all day. My…

Best Wishes for 2019
Happy New Year everyone. It was a wonderful 2018 in many ways, with some not great parts. For me, it was the year that kikki.K found me on Instagram and asked me to collaborate with them on an amazing project and I’m so happy with how it turned out. In 2018, I started the year…

Courage
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow. – Mary Ann Radmacher. Olympus OMD EM5 50mm macro x desleyjane

It wasn’t a place.
Her eyes opened and she took a few moments to savour the delicious heaviness in her limbs. She was spent, but in such a good way. She felt the comforting warmth and weight of his arm that he had curled around her and tucked in against her chest. She grazed her lips across his knuckles…

A Little Update.
Hello everyone. Sorry I’ve been MIA, I have missed being around here on the blogosphere. This last week, I’ve been sick with a cold/flu/thing. More generally, I’ve been incredibly busy at work (same old, same old) and also busy with my kikki.K Planner Insider gig, which has been great fun and very rewarding. On the…

Four: Enough
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside. – Rumi. He had left the door open behind him, he knew she wouldn’t be far away. She left it open too, she made sure she was quiet. She didn’t want him knowing she was here already. She had hidden herself in the old rotting orchard,…

Favourite Place/Space
I have had a few favourite places and I’ve spoken about them before. I used to say that the Qantas lounge was one of my favourite places because it meant that I was almost home. It meant that I could have a glass of wine and call a favourite person or read a good book…
