A croquembouche for tea?
If you haven’t had tea with Justine yet, you’re missing out. Today (a day late!), I’m bringing a special birthday cake to Justine’s Tea Time #3 – always a fun event, with some delicious recipes, teas, cakes, and other assorted goodies 🙂 My croquembouche was a surprise gift from my parents for my most recent (milestone)…

The Devil’s Name is Dullness
Title – quote by Robert E. Miller Today’s Blogging101 assignment is to review our blog’s name and Tagline. When I first created my blog, I spent a lot of time mulling (musing) over the title. Like others have mentioned, I didn’t realise that my blog’s name and it’s URL didn’t have to be the same 😋…

Me, Myself and MissG
I have joined Blogging101 which starts today and our first assignment is to introduce ourselves and why we are here. I have written something similar recently as a 2014 review, so my apologies to my readers if this is all old news 😉 I went back and had a look at my Twitter bio since it shortly…

2015 Weekly Photo – New
For the weekly photo challenge – New. During the holidays, I did some painting around the house, including re-vamping my front door. It’s a very solid door, most likely original with the house, which I believe was built in 1980. The door is timber with a large lead-lined glass panel. A few years ago, I…

2014 Rehab and Resolutions !!
We had a quiet NYE tonight, just family. And I made it home with 45 minutes to spare. We spent the day painting two feature walls at my home and we’re all quite exhausted. We have some more painting to do tomorrow. These are the things I like to do when I’m on holidays. People…

Christmas Tea with Justine (Rehab19)
For Justine’s Tea Time #2, I am bringing some Christmas goodies made by my Mama for Christmas. She makes these every year and they are delicious (except the fruit mince pies, I don’t like them, but my family tells me they are scrumptious). We have the fruit mince pies, chocolate crackles, apricot balls, rum balls…

Inspired by Andy (Rehab18)
I was in a bar last week with a dear friend. We were waiting for his colleague’s flight to arrive, but he was delayed and decided not to join us. We had the best time! It’s a tiny little gin bar with a lovely bartender who went out of his way to find us cocktails…

Season’s Greetings (Rehab17)
I am so grateful to have met so many wonderful people here in this very happy place. When I started this blog just two short months ago, I had planned to share some photos, some travel-for-work stories and tips, and some reviews of hotels and restaurants. Well…it’s become all about the photos. AND I LOVE…

Bee With Me (Rehab16)
I don’t know how I’ve ended up with so many animal photos 🙂 I love macro photography, so when I went in to the kitchen to do the dishes this morning and I saw this poor little guy on his last legs, I took the opportunity to take some shots of him. There is one…

Zoo Day (Rehab15)
I took my brother to Australia Zoo for his birthday and it was the first time we’d been. It’s a great, fun place, and so big to give the animals plenty of space to roam and play. These are a couple of my favourites from the day. For Photo101 Rehab (do check it out), I’ve…
