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

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.

For who knows when we'll meet again this way

The end of our Eden holiday concluded with some time at the beach and a yummy BBQ - vegetables, sausages, onions and salmon.  It's always hard to say goodbye to the beautiful ocean, so I savored the last moments looking out at the water and thinking of all the things I'm grateful for. For the long drive home back to Melbourne, I wore my comfortable Mexican, embroidered dress. A few years ago, I found quite a few Mexican dresses, but haven't come across one in a very long time. I'd love one in red, wouldn't that look fantastic? On the drive, I visited this church that was hosting an art fair and admired this green home! Since returning home, I've done a lot of cooking. Here is a plate of my homemade sausage rolls and long green beans with nuts. I've also gone for some nice walks, sometimes picking flowers along the way. What have you been up to lately?

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and grandparents, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for probably over 1...
