Our family has left the wintery weather of Sydney for a family vacation in Europe. Our first stop... Paris! Being an avid francophile I just adore anything remotely french, so being immersed in the wonderful french culture is such a delightful experience. Despite being challenged to recall my schoolgirl french I am amazed at how quickly you fall into a new language, which becomes the fabric of your daily life.
After ten years of living by the water we have finally taken the plunge and bought a boat! I have never been particularly motivated to have a boat, as all I can think of is the upkeep and maintenance that they require, however, after a few initial days of sailing I must admit that I am quite enjoying this new experience.
It is amazing how different everything looks when viewed from the water!

Today we must finally accepted that it is Winter here in Sydney! With all our lovely sunny days it is quite easy to think that we are still in summer. We seem to say to each other in astonishment - "gosh it's cold today!" quite forgetting what season we are actually in.So this week I am embracing the winter winds!!! I am wrapping myself in woolens, relishing in my winter reading list, enjoying the new seasonal produce and the emergence of my new winter bulbs.
