In 2016 I was taken on by Nuffnang as one of their Bloggerati talent team, that was a big step up in both payment and […]
Here’s one of the roundabouts And a fishy see saw The views here are lovely. Luckily the playground itself is fenced, but there is water around the park itself so keep an eye on your tiny terrors. Rusty Rocket loves the murals on the playground walls The kids menu from Flying Fox Cafe […]
A safe harbour beach, a netted pool with fantastic places to climb and leap joyfully into the water. A kiosk and cafe with fantastic views. You’d seriously have to be bonkers not to get straight down there with the kids. Little Manly Beach is a beaut spot in itself, but having the cafe […]
If you’re looking for me on a Saturday morning around 10.30am this summer, here’s where I’ll be. Mine’s a skim flat white, thank you… what are you having? This is Bronze Kiosk, a lovely cafe in the Mona Vale Surf Club building. You order inside the building and then find a seat outside, […]

Gorgeous federation house in central Orange. Hello from Orange where, for family reasons, I’ll be spending a bit of time in the coming weeks and months. It’s not a hardship, is it? I love getting to know places well and hope to be here enough to search out some lovely spots to share with you. […]
Oh, it’s great to be young and in love! Well, all right, I am 52 years old and just starting to fall in love, but still, I’m giddy on this fresh and sunny winter’s morning in the NSW Central West. Millthorpe, it’s you. So pretty, so rooted in the past yet more cool and trendy […]
