Taken today! My son and I caught up with some friends and headed to the Bastille Festival in the Rocks. It was a celebration of all things French! Mulled wine on a sunny winter day! For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.
A beautiful vision
We had a federal election in May. The result was a shock to many. The polls had been suggesting the more progressive Labor Party was going to win for a while. Instead they were defeated and we are now looking at another three years or so of a conservative government. There have been hundreds of […]
Blog post done. Hello sponge cake!
I enjoy writing. But life often gets in the way. I took the day off work to run some errands and was happy to find time to blog. I also love eating. So I had a good day! For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday!
Hope
I love sunrises. There is something hopeful about a new day. It speaks of promises and a chance to right old wrongs. A fresh start. A new begining. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #50: Hope
An exquisite picture

Simple
It’s a simple game of tic-tac-toe. What could possibly go wrong? Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #50: Simple
It was Mother’s Day
It was a lovely day for me yesterday. Busy. But one that made me grateful for my son and his father. They spent Friday afternoon after school walking the shops looking for the perfect present for me. Our son gave it to me as soon as he woke. The sun was rising outside and staining […]
Blue skies and an open road
Do you ever get the urge to just get in your car and go? For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.
Peaceful
Sometimes peace comes unexpectedly. You can be waiting for your peanut butter and jam sandwich at a cafe when you spy a table plant quietly minding its business. The surrounding noise melts away and you’re left smiling at this little plant for a moment or two. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #49: Peaceful
Dashes of pink on the road
Loved the unexpected interplay of pink, white and grey! “Mum what are you doing??” asks my bewildered son. Sometimes love, you just have to stop and snap the road. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday!
