The end of a holiday, a special gift from overseas and the first signs of spring – this is the week that was…
The week that was

A cottage in the valley
Lazy mornings, afternoon adventures and early nights – that’s been my last week and it’s been absolutely blissful. While Adam and I have managed a fit little trips away this year, neither of us have had more than a week off since we got married last year. We were both in desperate need of some downtime and also wanted to make the most of just ‘us’ before baby arrives, so last week we took a little trip to Kangaroo Valley…
A night at Nimbo
Last week Adam asked me if I wanted to go to Tumut, in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, one day over the weekend. He had an inspection to complete at work, and was going to run out of time to get in done though the week. He thought we’d make a day of it and get out of the town for the day. The next day he said to me ‘Why don’t we stay the night, make a proper weekend of it?’ So we we did…
A long weekend in Melbourne
Long weekends are always lovely, but especially so when there are an extra few days off thrown in, they contain a trip away and feature old friends.
Melbourne well and truly delivered in the mini-break stakes for Adam and I and if you’re interested, this is how it looked…
The suitcase guide: Melbourne
Hello from Melbourne! Today Adam and I drove south from Wagga Wagga for an extended long-weekend in the Victorian capital. We’re meeting friends from Tasmania later this evening and we plan to spend the next few days eating, drinking and sight-seeing our way around the city…
The week that was
It’s been a busy week for me – from muddy visits to farms, baby scans and road-trips west. This is what my last seven days looked like…
A breakfast date
The other week, Adam and I managed to sneak in a Friday morning breakfast date. Although it would have been lovely to have the entire morning to linger over our meal, the hour or so we had alone was just wonderful and the perfect way to start the wind down to the weekend…
The week that was
It’s been a long and busy week, filled with nights away from home and day-trips. I did manage to sneak in a few quiet moments though.
Here’s what my last seven days looked like…
The calm of the open road
The other day Adam and I jumped in the car and just drove. We didn’t have a specific route or end destination in mind… we just needed to get out of town for a bit. We’ve both had fairly full-on months and when a day arose when we could just get away for a little while we did…
A morning on Mt Glorious
First of all, I just wanted to say a big thank-you for all of you who got in touch last week to wish me well. I really appreciate your kind words and they did wonders while I was feeling rather poorly.
Today I want to take you to a stunning spot, just outside of Brisbane. I mentioned my little trip to Mt Glorious the other day on the blog and I’m still thinking about the few hours I spent enclosed in misty forest…
