Watching as the locals pass silver balls…

On 4 October, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Life

It would be remiss of me not to include a lyric from Ben Fold’s “Adelaide” about the city we just got back from visiting for our niece’s wedding. We didn’t actually pass the silver balls in Rundle Mall on this trip (and it’s been over a decade since I’ve done it!) because we were in [...]

I’ve only just gotten around to pulling the photos from our holiday off the camera, and unsurprisingly there weren’t that many! We did take photos of the little bit of time we spent in Armidale visiting the lovely Sonya so I will share a few here for you.

Let me show you some photos of our Gold Coast holiday! We booked two nights at The Phoenician on need it now at an amazing rate. I don’t even care if this sounds like a sponsored post because we honestly wouldn’t have been able to afford it any other way.

So this is Festivus, and what have I done?

On 23 December, 2010 · 16 Comments · In A Beautiful Life

Today is the 23rd of December, the day that people like me celebrate Festivus! I haven’t put up a tree for the last few years because I’m kind of grinchy and I hate tinsel. If you read my last post you’ll know I’m not a huge fan of consumerism, and you’ll be correct [...]

Loving Melbourne trams

On 22 February, 2010 · 4 Comments · In A Beautiful Life

Yes, Nick and I are back and you can expect a solid week of swooning over Melbourne stuff. But first… the trams. I never thought I’d be so enamored of a public transportation system but after a week of catching several trams daily my love is for sure. We even went to the

Happy anniversary!

A year ago Nick and I got married at Newstead Park! I love looking back at our wedding photos which were shot by Kate. Especially because she got moments like this one – after I stood in dog crap barefoot and [...]

We’re back! Nick and I just adored Melbourne… we were thinking about moving down earlier last (!) year but this trip really confirmed it for us. The weather was perfect – it really felt like a Brisbane winter down there, funnily enough.

I took photos [...]

Amelie’s Petite Maison – Our petite honeymoon

On 28 April, 2008 · Leave a Comment · In A Beautiful Life

I want to share some photos I took of the amazing cottage we stayed at last week. It’s located in Montville, Queensland which is a two hourish drive north of Brisbane. It is part of a bed & breakfast adorably named The Spotted Chook and is fully self contained, overlooking a lush cluster [...]
