Magic Enough

We have had so much delight getting ready for the magic of the festive season this year. When we put up the tree, the little guy danced around the room in between hanging decorations singing ‘this is going to be the happiest Christmas ever!’ He loves every little tiny detail and has been as full […]

Out and About

I’m not much of a one for organised sporty activity. These days it is really difficult to prioritise getting exercise – even though I know that is to my detriment. But when I do, I prefer to go for a walk. Luckily, there are some great places for taking in scenery and getting a good […]

We’re Have I Been All This Time…

Longest break I’ve taken in a while…somehow, at the end of a week at the keyboard, it is kinda hard to make time to pop in here. Silly me.

Spring is Springing

It’s still pretty cool and the woods pretty ‘stick-y’ here in the northern kingdom. But hope of new life and springy loveliness has begun to burst forth.

Walk to the Park

A favourite haunt in this hot steamy weather is Jackson Park, a 15min stroll to a playground that is often buggy, but always shaded by wonderful mature trees. On the way there, if the gates are open, Kazuo and I often wander through the B’nai Amoona Cemetery. It is so pretty… any time of year.
