Easter long weekend,
and everything is slipping into ‘go slow’.
I’m not hurrying, I’m not clock watching and I may well dissolve completely into those magazine pages at some point.
Spelt hot cross buns have been made,
the beach is whispering,
and if someone offers to make me a second coffee? Well I might just say yes.
That’s how this weekend is rolling, and everything else in life?
…is on pause.

Gorgeous Zena. I loved seeing them on your Insta account. A part of me really wished we were heading down your way this Easter, but alas not this year…maybe next.

Indeed do, the same here. Tony just made “real” coffee in our new machine, the hot cross buns are rising and the chocolate is tempered a la Celia.

Happy Easter Brydie, on this lovely Sunday. Things look beautiful and calm at your place. I like the look of the Great Ocean magazine…could you tell me a little more about it please? x

Hmm what to say Jane 🙂 I love it. And I mean LOVE it. It’s stories, it’s poetry, it’s photography. It’s not blokey, dude orientated surfy girls in bikinis and it is everything to do with the beautiful sea. It’s also intelligent. There are plenty of magazines out their that are just cramming fluff on pages…it’s not. Every page is scrutinised by me. http://www.greatocean.com.au/

Sounds like a perfect weekend Brydie, have you got rain as well to make it practically compulsory to sit on the sofa with a book?

We actually dodged the rain mostly as we were down south. I heard it was quite the puddle here though!

I love how Easter is a four-day weekend. It really does give you time to relax and move at a slower pace. Your hot cross buns look amazing xx

Wholemeal spelt hot cross buns seem to be the business these days Charlie, and when it’s not Easter, well no need for the crosses. Hope you’ve had a lovely long weekend too.

Slower paced, maybe just differently paced in my case. I’ve got my “city” ass into the garden to play “farm girl”. And in I am between baking and dehydrating. Loving the look of your hotXbuns, I can almost smell them and would love to try them out. Spelt on next week’s shopping list; I won’t tell anyone I made them late 😉 Love your page.

What a perfect long weekend Brydie. Happy Easter to you and your fam. I’ve eaten waaaaay to much sugar, kinda buzzy, but the extra sleep and lazy days have been magical. Just what I needed. Hope that second coffee went down a treat, perfect with your hot cross buns I bet. 🙂
