a few little snippets from my perfectly relaxed mother's day

snippets from the weekend

We took the ferry into the city on Saturday evening to have a look at the Christmas decorations in the Queen Vic building and then to watch the fireworks at Darling Harbour. A great way to spend a Saturday evening and to get into the spirit of the season. I haven't been feeling all that Christmassy of late. This is my first Christmas without mum, so it just hasn't been feeling "right". So I'm trying to shake that feeling and get into a good frame of mind for my own little family and this trip out certainly helped : )

After what seemed like years on end of relentless torrential rain (really only a week, possibly two, but who's counting), let me tell you...it was SO good to see the sun this weekend. Thank you sun. Hoping to see more of you in the future : ) 

❤ 

ps i'm loving this view of the bush and sitting on my deck at the moment, sipping a vino in the late afternoon as the sun sets is really very relaxing.  i'm really really going to miss it when we sell. but we will have a new little pocket of the world to call our own, our own little escape from the maddening crowd. And another nice spot to sit and have a vino. so it's all good.

Today was one of those glorious spring days, a big blue sky, lots of sun and a little bit of a cool breeze - just perfect for a bush walk. And today was the last day that the Muogamarra National Reserve was open, which just happens to be up the road from us. So we hopped in the car bright and early and made the most of it.

Muogamarra is only open for a couple of weekends during spring to display the glorious wildflowers in the park. Matthew took loads of beautiful photos of the flowers and I'll pop those up tomorrow once he has sorted through them - he's a happy snapper and likes to take a gazillion photos of the same thing, so it will take him a while to edit!!

A bit of baking...vanilla muffins & zucchini slice plus more boxes and joy oh joy I have unpacked my beloved le creuset, not to mention my collection of well loved chopping boards!! Yay, I am loving having my 'stuff' back : )

I have to admit to being a very naughty girl on the weekend. Instead of staying at home unpacking 300 boxes, I took off for a lovely weekend away with 2 out of 3 of my sisters. It would have to have been THE most relaxing weekend I have had in a very, very long time.

However, I did feel the odd twinge of guilt every now and then when I thought about hubby and kids at home fending for themselves amid the sea of boxes! Oh well, I've paid for it today with a backlog of washing, ironing, grocery shopping and...you guessed it...boxes!

Here's my snippet...

A lazy winter Sunday, Sydney style with a top temp of around 21 degrees c...I ask you, why would you want to be anywhere else in the world? 

Beautiful.
