hop to it

Easter has come quickly despite the fact I saw hot cross buns in the shop the week after Christmas!

Easter craft, hat parades, an Instagram feed full of hot cross buns, marshmallow bunnies, weekend plans...

have you ever wondered about sticky marshmallow, coconut and cameras all together?
A picture tells a thousand words

a balanced diet is important

I am quite proud of this as, like avid bakers who yearn for the perfect loaf, I yearn to create pastries and confectionary! I wonder why?

Easter hat parade...tribute to my hot glue gun!

Do you do anything special at Easter? Are there hat parades, special food you make, family traditions?

Whatever your plan is, I hope you have a wonderful weekend however busy, chocolatey or relaxing it is.

time...




As the summer holidays slip away, I feel anticipation for the challenges every new school year brings, at home and at work. This is tinged with a little sadness for the time I have had to enjoy reading, photography, spending time with my family and not worrying about what's for lunch at breakfast time!

double figures, do you remember turning 10?




capturing some vintage love in the every day...these are going in the cupboard to use!

Bring on the newness, the excitement and change that comes with a new year and may there still be a little time for a sneaky read, lazy coffee and the chance to stalk the next shot with my camera.

Here & Now ~ Lazy Days, Vintage Love & Pizza

I fell in love with this old grandstand

Loving // All the photo opportunities there are in my everyday. I just need to make the time and look up.
Eating //  Too much! I am still thinking about the banana bread and mascarpone with strawberries and coconut that I had for breakfast while in Adelaide recently with my mum. It is definitely time to go back to work and get some order back in the eating regime!

Drinking //  I have a little thing for rose at the moment and I got my hands on a Bird in Hand D&B Pour Les Amour rose 2015....so lovely

Feeling // Rather soggy. It is very humid here, not something that happens often and I will only put up with it if there is rain accompanying the sogginess! We've had a little...fingers crossed for more.

Making //  Photo books on Snapfish. I have many photos and while we have a digital screen and photo screen savers, it is still nice to hold them. I have made a book with a selection of pictures from 2015 and another with photos of my dad to help the grandchildren remember,and cherish those special memories.

Thinking // About a family holiday. I have the travel bug since our family adventure last year. Where to next I wonder...N.Z., Canada, Italy, Switzerland, maybe Austria again???

Dreaming // Of finding some cool vintage clothing. I have been watching Dawn O'Porter in This Old Thing, Friday nights on ABC2. I love her clothes, as well as some of the finds she has made in vintage and second hand clothing shops

I'm joining in 'Here & Now' with Sarah at Say! Little Hen. Pop over and see her 'Here & Now' post if you have time...such beautiful photos :)
