Honey, honey how you thrill me

 


A little while ago, my mum and I visited the Convent restaurant in Daylesford. It's an old convent that has been converted into an art gallery and cute little place to eat. It's surrounded by such pretty gardens.


 

 I had a bit of a giggle as my mum brought some water to our table and slipped on these pebbles. Luckily she was fine and we had a good laugh. 

 

 

We enjoyed our time sitting at a table under a tree, chatting about all sorts of things and enjoying our spaghetti with prawns.

 

Outfit details:

Coat, vintage basket bag, boots and sunglasses: Market finds.

Satin skirt and turtleneck: Retail finds. 

  



We were surprised to spot a sign saying 'Sailor's Falls' as we drove around. After all these years visiting Daylesford, we never realised it had a waterfall! It reminded us that even though we love revisiting our favourite little spots, it's nice to discover new places.

 

 Sunshine and nature, isn't it so good for our souls? I remember a uni lecturer dismissing meditation in the form of sitting still and trying to get all thoughts out of your head and instead encouraging us to get outside and go for a walk as a better way to meditate. I tend to agree with her. What do you think?

 

It wouldn't be a day out to Daylesford without a stop at the honey stall. We bought some red ironbark honey, they have a nice variety of flavours at this stall.


Hope you've had a chance to enjoy some time outdoors today! What have you been up to?

    Lovely photos of you and your mum and a magical location, too. It's raining torrentially here today. I've been harvesting some rhubarb in the garden wearing a plastic mac and wellies, that's all the time I want to spend outdoors today! xxx

    What a delightful place, and how wonderful to discover it has a waterfall.
    And now I'm craving a plate of spaghetti with prawns!
    Loving both your and your Mum's outfits. That dress of hers is simply magnificent! xxx

  There’s something uniquely peaceful about going to the beach in winter, when the frosty air bites at your cheeks and the usual summer crowds are nowhere to be found. The ocean seems quieter, its waves rolling in with a gentle but persistent rhythm. The sharp, crisp breeze tugs at your coat as you walk along the shore, the salty scent of the sea mixing with the freshness of the cold air. The beach, stripped of its summer energy, takes on a serene, almost otherworldly quality—made even better by two black swans slowly floating on the water in the distance. You know I absolutely love the beach, it is probably my favourite place on Earth, besides home and my grandparents' homes.  On this particular day, my mum and I decided to visit  Altona  beach, 25 minutes away from home. We rugged up in our big, fluffy Afghan coats. In a recent post , I shared some photos of me trying on several Tree of Life coats, and as soon as there was a 50% off sale, I purchased this sunflowe...

 Anyone fancy tagging along to lunch and a show? A little while ago, my sister, mum and I went into the city to watch the Shirley Valentine theatre show. Shirley Valentine is a classic movie from 1989 about a 42 year old woman who goes on a trip with her friend to Greece to escape her monotonous lifestyle and she discovers new adventure and independence. It is a funny and moving film that my mum, sister and I have watched many times over the years. Hence we were curious what the theatre show would be like. At the Athenaeum Theatre, Natalie Bassingthwaighte did an amazing job in the one woman show. For the show, my mum and I accidentally ended up both wearing floral dresses, which funnily enough perfectly matched the theme of the show. I also wore my giant butterfly clip in my hair. For lunch, my sister and I both ordered the same thing - bao buns. It was okay but not that nice. The fried zucchini flower salad was a bit more interesting. Before the day was finished, we browse...

Earlier in the year, my family and I visited a strawberry farm in Bacchus Marsh. My sister and I love visiting fruit farms and being able to pick our own fruit! The strawberries were much sweeter and tastier than the bland ones usually found in supermarkets. I was delighted to buy some apples too. They had no wax on which is basically unheard of these days. Next we visited a beautiful, old church. I love how the arches are reminiscent of Noah's Ark. Even the door is purposely designed and ornate. We ended the day with some waffles I made from scratch and ate many more strawberries. Title : Dear Boy by Paul & Linda McCartney.
