A few weeks ago we had a night in Greenwell Point, a town of just 1,200 people in a fairly unknown part of the NSW South Coast. After waking up in the caravan park we looked for somewhere to have breakfast. Being in such a small town our expectations were low however, we were very […]
Mother’s Day

How was your Mother’s Day? I know I’m a bit behind in sharing mine but it’s been a little frantic around here. The day after Mother’s Day, first thing in the morning I had a clinical exam, where I had to perform a number of tricks in less than 20 minutes. I can only liken […]
Angler’s Rest, Greenwell Point
May 3, 2016 By 39 Comments
Last weekend Drew had to be on the South Coast for an appointment. Rather than battle the two-three hour drive there and back in one day, he suggested we have a mini-break and enjoy a night away. Drew’s appointment on the Sunday morning was in Nowra so it made sense we stay either in Nowra […]

An engagement ring should be a timeless, classic symbol of your love that will last forever, so the goal should be to find the stone that is the perfect match for your future fiancé.

New Beginnings

‘Forgive me Father, it’s been eight weeks since my last post’. I never intended for there to be such a hiatus. It’s just that in January I found out my nursing qualifications have been binned. I worked long and hard for my registration so I wasn’t happy. It’s a long story but basically, my registration […]
Biota, Bowral NSW
February 10, 2016 By 43 Comments
Biota is a stunning two-hatted restaurant in Bowral in the Southern Highlands. I was fortunate to enjoy lunch at Biota after spending the morning picking blackberries at Montrose Berry Farm. I wasn’t actually sure whether or not I would write a blog on my experience at Biota for several reasons. The restaurant was closed to […]
Montrose Berry Farm
February 6, 2016 By 27 Comments
When I was growing up in New Zealand every time it was berry season my parents would drive us a short distance to where the berry farms were located. We’d look for signs saying, ‘Pick Your Own’ and we’d turn into those driveways and spend a few hours filling buckets with raspberries, blackberries, loganberries and […]
In My Kitchen, February 2016
February 2, 2016 By 35 Comments
The summer holidays have come to an end, kids are back at school and in a couple of weeks, uni studies will commence for another year. So life, although still busy, is settling into a bit more of a scheduled routine. In my kitchen I have new salad servers. I saw them in a homewares […]
Australia Day
January 29, 2016 By 27 Comments
Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 and bonus, it’s a public holiday. Normally we spend the day with family or friends or even both, enjoying a traditional Australian lunch of lamb and snags cooked on the barbie with pavlova for dessert. But this Australia Day was different because Alfie was asked to sing in […]
Cheat’s Bombe Alaska
January 23, 2016 By 37 Comments
Ever since we enjoyed Bombe Alaska on New Year’s Eve, it’s been on my mind how much I’d like to make one. This is a theatrical dessert that was big in the 70’s when a dinner party wasn’t a dinner party unless you were setting your guests’ food on fire. But the dessert originated a […]
