Well, I am so delighted to have more cute creatures to take photos of; the kids are patient but they get fed up with me flapping around them with a camera. Fritz and Max came to our good home recently as they were two lovely cats who needed one. I had been planning to get […]
Reviews It is a really handy guide, on each page there is a different beach (meaning you can just print out the page you need easily) and just about everything you can think of is covered. Looking for somewhere with a gated playground, some shade, protected swimming areas, parking and, most importantly, easily accessible […]
Now then, it had been more than 20 years since I’d stayed in Cairns and back then it had been strictly backpacker-only accommodation and all I was lugging around was my diving gear. When I started planning a spring school holiday trip to Cairns, I knew I needed to find a great place to stay. I’d […]
Do you bake with olive oil? I’d never tried using olive oil in cakes and had always been a bit horrified at the thought. A rich fruity extra virgin oil wouldn’t work at all in a cake, I reckoned. And that was the type of olive oil I always bought. I knew there must be […]

I had a wee brainwave recently and decided to create a new series for this blog. Whilst I’m a Sydney mum writing mainly about Sydney places to go with our Sydney kids, I’ve also got to know a few useful things over the past 18 (count ’em) years of parenthood. So I’ll be writing short, […]

NB For the non-British background readers, Marks and Spencers is universally nicknamed ‘Marks and Sparks’ at least in Scotland. I have a pair of Marks and Sparks knickers […]
There are a couple of vegan families at school and the mums have opened my eyes to some great recipes. And a glorious cookbook called: ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World.’ I bought it and I’m NOT afraid to use it. Extra useful for me when I have run out of eggs and butter. But […]
It was a BOILING hot day, one of those where the thermometer was tipping 40 C. The kids were totally zinced up but I was still worried about all those hours in the sun. And we were all starving. But luckily for us we were at Clovelly Beach and there’s a fab cafe right there. It […]

Having a splashing good time here on the Coral Coast in Fiji. As usual it took a couple of days for the family to settle in. Some of the kids and adults in our family find transitions very hard even transitions into tropical loveliness. But that’s all over now. Weather is lovely, mid-20s, nice and […]
