Misty Mountain Hop

Picnic season!
Earlier in the year, my boyfriend and I went on a few picnics. 
First we went to Mount Macedon on a cold, misty day.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
We hiked to the top of a mountain and I couldn't believe that there were people actually rock climbing! Can you see the person on top of the giant rock in the above photo?
 


 
 
We picked flowers and blackberries and enjoyed the yummy picnic food my boyfriend packed.
 




 
 
Love hearts in nature. So cute.





 
 
Picnic #2! I organised snacks the next time when we had a long weekend holiday.
 


 
 
It's so relaxing just sitting, eating and chatting in a park. We spotted some rabbits too. They're a bit hard to see, but there's one in the middle of the photo below. 


 
 
I spotted not one but two children from my school while there, which was ironic because in my 6 years of teaching, I have never seen a student outside of school. The next day, one of the girls said she had seen me "a long time ago," (even though it was only the day before) "with your husband!" I got a kick out of that and a big laugh.

 
 
It's cold and winter-y right now, so no more picnics for us at the moment, but maybe in a few months time.
 
Hope you are having a wonderful day.

    I absolutely loved tagging along on your picnics, Jess! That first place you went to on a misty day looks so atmospheric. Beautiful pictures! But my legs turned to jelly by even looking at the picture of that person on that giant rock! My vertigo clearly says "no"! xxx

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
