“c’mon” he says

While I rested, they walked. “Exploring,” they call it. Che in his very new Mama-knitted vest. Daniel with his new fancy lens and Glidecam. Beautiful autumn bokeh.

all snug and cosy…

and warm inside. That’s how I felt after my birthday weekend. Daniel went out early on Saturday morning to photograph the sunrise and came home with a bunch of flowers and a paper bag full [...]

cloudy sprinkles

A few months ago we took a leap of faith. Daniel had been contracting with a local business for a few years and while the regular money each week was nice, the other bits weren’t so. We [...]

bunnings

in a field…

We dreamed of a wrap-around verandah more children a dinner bell tea and cake piles of books incense burning a hammock a home to build, add to, settle in and love. One day. ps. it’s for [...]
