Home












Here are a few photographs of my recent trip to my parents house in Northern NSW.

I had a really nice time there and did a lot of roaming around in nature-y places.

We went for a drive up into the mountains and did some bushwalking and stopped at about five different and beautiful lookouts, saw a waterfall that fell into a cave and roamed through a beautiful old growth rainforest. It was very humid though and I would love to go back in winter some time!

On out drive home we found an abandoned stone house that would've been beautiful in it's day. It had a fireplace and stone floors and a really sweet upstairs room and I'm really curious as to what happened to it.

It's been quite cold in Melbourne, which has been a nice change from the Northern humidity, and I've started to really enjoy baking my own bread. It's so much nicer than the supermarket stuff and I find the process to be a really nice way to relax and de-stress!

I apologise for my lack of posts recently but (as I mentioned) I was away over Christmas and when I got home my internet wasn't working! (I am speaking to you now from the public library haha!) It might be a little while before I get my internet back because it will be quite expensive to fix, but I have scheduled a few more posts over the next couple of weeks so you shouldn't miss me too much haha!.

How about you? How has your summer been (or if you are from the Northern Hemisphere your winter) Let me know in the comments section I'd love to hear about it!

Tiny Flowers


















It's been getting cold here and i've started taking walks around my neighbourhood. This is the first place I've ever lived where it gets properly cold in winter and I've been enjoying the smell of woodsmoke from people's chimneys and the tiny winter flowers.
