So the first of our (two… yes two – one in Australia and one in the UK… ) engagement parties was now nearly a month ago – I started blogging this during the week leading up to the big(gish) day (this is what I’m renaming it – it’s the secondary big day right?)! OK, so … Read more
To Love and Be Loved
To me, Valentine’s Day is of course, too much about the commercialism and not enough about the individuals we love. However, what I LOVE about Valentine’s is that it is ABOUT love. Who says it has to just be about your partner, hubby, wife or crush?! I use it as a great excuse to remind … Read more
Be hopeful, be strong

Fir or Faux Fir? It’s all a bit traumatic…
The first year I was here I didn’t really know where to get a real Christmas tree from – the garden centres are not exactly abundant and well, yeah I was new to all this stuff here. So I bought a faux tree (lord above, who would believe it) – although I totally commended myself … Read more

Today I’m Thankful For…
Lots of people do the ‘Today I’m thankful for’ in November to coincide with the American holiday of Thanksgiving. Whilst I’m not living, nor from the US nor celebrating Thanksgiving day, as such – I love the whole premise of giving thanks. And with this being my birthday month I figure I’ll follow suit.
