Spring ......

Hi all....the weather here has been very cold.  The fire has been constantly burning,
uggies are always on, and there is very little greenery and colour around to inspire me.
But.....I have been coping very well, you would be proud of me!....well, those who know me,
and know how bad I cope with winter, will be proud of me.  I have been very
positive and feeling like, perhaps, winter may very well be on it's way out.
Wishful thinking maybe?.....perhaps, but the peach blossom may just be
the reason for this spark of positivity.  Ok, Ok, I know that we have a little
while left of winter, and perhaps some pretty hideous frosts are on their way,
which could be the demise of these beautiful blossoms.
But who could blame me for seeing these beautiful flowers, and thinking.....
HELLO SPRING!......

 

 

Wishing you all some spring blooms in your world. x

YOU CAPTURE / Black & White

I pass this shed on a regular basis, and have always 
wanted to photograph it.  I have seen it with some amazing skies
behind it, and wished I'd had my camera with me on those days.
The day I finally had my camera with me, and the time to stop, 
the sky wasn't so amazing, but I think it looks interesting
in Black & White.  I think Black & White conveys 'mood',
don't you?.

School Holidays.....

Hello all, it's been awhile.....Hope you are all well and happy.  We have
been very busy around here these school holidays, and having a great time.
Of course first up was a visit from Marni, Nita and Fiona and all the kids
minus two.  We had a great time as always.  As the kids get older it gets
alot easier for us to really enjoy each others company without so many interruptions!
This time we even enjoyed a bit of pampering with lovely facials and foot massages
and champagne and chatting by the fire, while the kids kept themselves
totally entertained while playing Bear Grylls!.  Yep, they love the whole survival
gig....they made fires, and shelters and tried to cook bananas, and had a
great time with each other, as always.
Summer and I then followed the girls back to Brisvegas for the decadent
side of the holidays.....shopping, while the boys hung at home doing....
well....boys stuff!.
We are now back into the daily grind, and we have a few projects going on around here
at the moment, so I will keep you posted of our progress....although Shane has now got
the flu, so progress may be a bit slow coming!.   But that is something we are
used to...you don't live where we do for a fast paced life, that's for sure!.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Missy Higgins Concert.....

 

Hi there everyone.  I hope this finds you all warm and happy.
I am well and truly into my hibernation phase at the moment....
spending alot of time indoors curled up by the fire wishing away the winter!.
But, I did manage to leave the cave and take a trip to Brisvegas
to see Missy Higgins in concert at the Tivoli Theatre.
Che bought me tickets for Mothers Day, and we had a great night
rocking out together.  We shared a lovely meal with Nits in the valley
before heading to the concert.  Thanks for grooving with your mum
Che....hopefully there will be many more concerts that we
will experience together.  And if anyone gets the chance to see Miss Missy...
go for it, she is one talented lady producing superb music.

You Capture / Sky

Lyrics:  If The Night Is Dark

Cannot stick to one theme

Cannot stick to one plan

Cannot stick to one man.

Always changing my mind

Always searching to find

Something I'll understand.

Yeah, I'll travel the seas

I'll get down on my knees

I'll live passionately.

I've the world in my hands

Will I break, will I stand strong,

Am I gonna see what's out there for me.

I might be right

I might be wrong

But I have no regrets

To lean upon.

If the night is dark

Then this is my sun

This is my home

This is where I belong 

This is where I belong.

Well I'm trying to decide

Should I run, should I hide

Show them tricks and be tamed.

Yeah, it's true that I've changed

But I'm also the same

I'm just playing the game.

If you lay down beside me

You'll feel that I'm cold

And I'm empty, it's true.

See the more I reveal

The more lonely I feel

What was one is now broken

Broken in two.

I might be right

I might be wrong

But I have no regrets

To lean upon.

If the night is dark

Then this is my sun

This is my home

This is where I belong

This is where I belong

This is where I belong.
