“Often life’s pleasures pass us by simply because we don’t take a moment to focus on them… Make a point of noticing everyday something that uplifts your spirit or tickles your heart… Stop to breathe in the joy of this moment and then tell someone about it. Share your joy and revel in it. When your joy is savoured, and then shared, it is magnified…” ROBIN GRILLE
Sydney Writers Festival I adore you. You are nothing but inspiring and on weekends like this I love every. single. inch, of this fair city. Truly inspired…loving that.
Head On photographic exhibition…so many stunning pictures. So many, talented people out there wielding a camera.… loved every single one of them.
Watching a little blanket grow. It started with some really unlikely colours, using what I had on hand and not a hint of an idea or plan, but I think (with fingers and toes crossed) it’s coming together, (in a rustic mixy matchy kind of way)….and I’m loving that.
Stories of tea. Getting to read all your beautiful stories of tea. I was incredibly touched that so many of you took the time to share a tea story with me. There were so many lovely stories I decided to change it to three winners.

I was only able to get there for one day, but certainly jammed in as much as I could for it. Love it. Definitely one of my favourites of Sydney’s annuals.

I had to and did ‘make do’ as far as the Sydney Writers Festival was concerned with the hour delegated to ‘Q & A’ on ABC – something is better than nothing 🙂 ! Livid, vivid arguments and so much fun to mull over 🙂 !

I love your emerging blanket. My grandmother used to crochet and she made us all blankets for our beds that looked just like this xx

What a wonderful thing to have Charlie. I’m always amazed at all the different types of patterns you can do with just a simple hooked stick and some wool.
