Welcome Home.

Although it has been some time since their departure, I thought it would be a nice idea to send some pictures I had taken to my Great Aunty & Uncle, during their stay with us in Australia. 

I got a bunch of pictures printed off and bundled them in a neat little package, ready to be shipped (or flown) to England. 

Making good use of my new stamp set (christmas present) and packing ribbons left over from christmas wrapping, the bundle came together like a treat. 

Hope they enjoy!

Cafe of the week..

As the new year has begun, so has a new weekly activity, discussing a new cafe every week. 

The first cafe of the week is a Blue Mountains delight named: Whisk and Pin. 

Whisk & Pin sits high in the Blue Mountains at Medlow Bath. 

It is a quaint cafe come store, featuring simple yet filling dishes, light coffees and sweet delectables in a cosy, care free space. 

The Cafe is off the main highway heading up the mountains and feels to be secluded and tucked away. A must visit if you are heading high up in the hills. 

Merry Christmas!

Despite the lack of activity on the blog, I have still been keeping busy with all sorts of fun things around the 'holiday' time. 

To start the new year of blogging, are a few pictures of what was a very busy but fun filled christmas.

Car Shooting

If anyone is interested in buying a car, I have just the one for you. 

My brother is in the market for a new car so he is selling his Mazda 3 Sedan. 

After a fresh clean and polish he asked me to take a few snaps to 'show- off' the 'machine' 

I haven't done much shooting of cars in the past so this was something different. 

Blue Mountain Antiquities

After a long semester at university, and most the time of our holidays tied up with other ongoings, we finally made a short day trip up to the blue mountains for some antique browsing. Although we didn't end up buying anything, elle and myself enjoyed the rainy Tuesday nonetheless with lots of pictures, tea and treats (edible). 

Some must see places when looking for antiques and other things in the Blue Mountains; 

Mr Pickwick's old books and antiques-Katoomba

Victory Theatre Antiques- Blackheath (bit further up the mountain)

Elizabeth Rosa fine stationary- Leura

Coffee trail part two

Beside visiting a few other cafes through the day, one really exciting place was Charlie Lovett Cafe in Neutral Bay. Following visits nearly everyday to their Broadway location through university times, we felt like we needed to check out their second store in Neutral Bay... 

Seeing friendly faces behind the counter and sipping on another great picolo, we enjoyed our stay at this organic, stylish and warming cafe. Charlie Lovett roast their own beans on site and are happy to have a chat about their recent single origin coffee bean. As well as ever-changing coffee blends, they boast a selection of fresh, wholesome lunches and bakery items, all baked on site everyday. 

Looking forward to more visits over the break. 

Coffee trail part one

First part of a thursday coffee trail led us to a lovely cafe in Mosman called 'Avenue Rd. Cafe'. 

Elle and myself had been once before but the second time was even better... 

Tea & Coffee served with souvenir tea spoons, fresh light breakfasts and smooth coffee made for a great morning.
