Che confusione, sarà perché ti amo

 

On the next day of our holiday, my family and I drove to Oaklands for lunch. In the gift store, I was delighted to find some beeswax which I'm planning to use to make a beeswax and avocado oil face cream, like the one I bought in Merimbula a few days previously.

I enjoyed the blue cheese pannacotta with rocket, pear and walnut salad, which I also had last year.

We walked around the gardens, gelati and chocolate shop. On the drive home, we were so happy to find our old friend Denis the horse. He was so happy chomping on his grass, carrots and broccoli and he let us pat him.

In the afternoon, I went for a beach walk whilst my dad and sister went swimming. I ate little oysters off the rocks, using my shucker and half a lemon.



For dinner, I made a BBQ by the beach- vegetables and meat, with a side of, you guessed it, oysters. The only time I get zinc is on holidays. Must remedy this situation!

I've discovered a drink I actually like - strawberries, milk and baileys.

A perfect day with lots of sunshine, what more could I ask for?

    Wonderful photos, Jess! I'm salivating at the soud of the blue cheese pannacotta and absolutely love that photo of your dad basking in the sunshine! xxx

    What a lovely little holiday find! 🌿✨

    Discovering beeswax in the gift store sounds like a perfect, serendipitous moment — especially since you already loved the face cream in Merimbula. Making your own beeswax and avocado oil cream sounds both fun and indulgent; I can imagine how rewarding it will be to recreate that silky, nourishing texture at home.

    It’s such a wonderful way to bring a little memory of your holiday into your everyday routine — practical, creative, and a touch luxurious all at once!

 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.

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?
