Every day should be a holiday

I was fortunate enough to spend the most glorious of weekends in wine country about an hour and a half out of the city last weekend. I got to spend it in the greatest company and we were treated to truly delightful weather. The sun shone and the sky was clear. It really felt like there was spring in the air. I ate lots of amazing food, drank some of the best wine the country has to offer in the most stunning surrounds. The best weekend getaway a girl could dream of.

In rainbows

Dead leaves and the dirty ground

Call it what you want

Songbird

Until the end of time

A hazy shade of winter

Cat power

Blue skies and winter winds

There's few countries in the world where, in the dark heart of winter, the clouds clear to a glorious blue sky and the sun shines on a splendidly warm day. Fortunately Australia is definitely one of those lucky few places, and today, to be exact, was the day we were graced with such divine good fortune.

Latrodectus hasselti

The joys of living in Australia are plentiful but we're also a country renowned for our rather unwelcoming host of native fauna. This, of course, includes the rather infamous Redback spider - one of the deadliest in the world. They can be found pretty much everywhere in South Australia and so it's no real surprise to come across one every now and again.

Storm brew

Spring is in the air

The trees were mistaken

Travelling shoes

My sister and her girlfriend's lovely house. It's so beautifully decorated and I always get a little pang of jealousy seeing all their wares and treasured finds dotted about the place.
