That time of day..

Around this time every afternoon I get a sugar craving. I am trying to be good so I have nothing sweet in the house to tempt me.

I was just catching up on my blogs and came across this on DustJacket Attic

This Chocolate cake looks so delicious....so rich and sumptuous...my mouth is watering!

Dreaming of Venice..

Image: Jessica Flett

I am currently going through our photos and putting together some photo books. I have most of our photos in albums but they can be quite big and bulky. I did a photo book of our wedding at the end of last year and I'm really happy with it. I gave one to each set of parents for Christmas...so they make great presents too. They look great on your bookshelf or on display. You have design control and it's lovely to look through the glossy pages of a book.

It's a long process and I'm taking my time as there's no rush.

I have just been looking at our trip a couple of years ago to Italy and thought I would share some of the photos from Venice with you...

Meet Tex.

Growing up on a farm we had working dogs. Dad's work dogs of choice are the Kelpie. They are a lovely natured (in my experience) dog. 


My family were at a regional country show recently for work. On their wanderings around they found a toy for my little man they couldn't resist....


Meet Tex.....

He is a Kelpie just like 'Pa's' dogs. All weekend Dad was walking around saying to Harry. 'Sit Tex!', 'Get up Tex', Come behind Tex' it was very sweet to see and thankfully the little man quite likes his little dog.


On our last trip home to the farm Harry was fascinated with the dogs and vice versa. This photo shows you what I mean.

Here are a couple of photos of Dad's dog Bosca, to show you how gorgeous the Kepie breed is.

You're never too old to need your parents...

Sorry for my absence but we have been under siege.....attacked by the nasty gastro bug that's currently doing the rounds here in Sydney.


I came down with it late Friday, within 4 hours of my parents arriving for the weekend. My parents live on a farm in Central West NSW and came down to visit their Grandson (his parents too..) Well...the poor things, they didn't bargain on a sick daughter and then a sick Grandson.


I felt terrible for ruining their weekend but I was also relieved to have them in town to help my husband with all the work of looking after two sick people. 


Mum and Dad were great sports and a terrific help to my husband who is an absolute angel!! He was a superstar and took care of everything. Touch wood he has escaped the nasty bug. Mum and Dad weren't so lucky and came down with it when they arrived home on Sunday night. Thankfully they are on the mend and feeling much better.


A huge thank you and all my love to the three of you for your help and care.


It just goes to show...you are never too old to need your parents.


I hope all of you are keeping well and those of you who've had this bug...you know what I'm talking about...it's a nasty one!

Chan Luu....How fabulous!!

I just found these on net-a-porter and had to show you.....

Aren't they terrific? They are by a designer called Chan Luu. Would love to know if you agree.


If you like them as much as I do....you can find them here.


I'm also loving Chan's Gold-vermeil and leather five-wrap bracelet

and.....her fabulous Cashmere and Silk-blend scarves.

For more Chan Luu check out her website here....


I can't pick just one......what are your favourites?
