A breath of fresh air...


The beautiful hyacinths that Simon's mum bought for us. They're doing a brilliant job brightening up our kitchen on these dark winter days. They smell divine too!

Our friend Vic...

Two places at once.....

I have found you here, from the other side of the world. Finally.
I miss you dear friend that you are.
But you are here in so many things that I see and experience.
Such as this:



Bet you can guess where I came across this.....
This is the Good Weekend Magazine, which comes with The Age newspaper which you read each weekend while you were here. And the lady on the cover is the founder, creator and head chef of Petersham Nurseries Restaurant and Cafe....
And I think you know where I was sitting and reading the article, as the 'props' may look somewhat familiar....
You are all the way over there...
And right here with me too.
Clever thing you are, being in two places at once.
Big hugs to you my dear friend.
And more to follow.....

Time To Stand And Stare

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
