When a t-shirt makes you feel like a fraud

So… this came in the mail. I watched the movie last year and was moved by its message of friendship and love that looked beyond outward appearances to the quality of character of one unlikely hero. My husband, hardened by years of packaging real stories of death and horror for the news, sat there unmoved […]

Favourite Place

Balmoral beach has got to be one of my favourite places. It’s on the north shore of Sydney. It doesn’t have the pounding surf like other beaches nor is it very big. But I enjoy spending time there. via the Daily Post Photo Challenge: Favorite Place

A mother’s rice cakes

I don’t know when I first heard this story. I know I was young. It’s a story that has been passed down the generations from parent to child, teacher to student. Almost every Korean child knows about this man and his rise to fame. Han Seok-bong. He was born in the early sixteenth century, in […]

That night

It took me a year to take this photo. I bought a ticket to his concert only to have it postponed to the year after. I wanted to see him and hear his music live, so I kept it. I was glad I did! George Ezra and his band were brilliant that night. Via the […]
