a *good life Wednesday*...-harbour beach love...



a good life wednesday...on Sydney Harbour...a place that *fills* my heart to the brim...


our kids learnt to swim at this beach...


we were married on an island on this- Sydney Harbour...

we have travelled to work across it on lovely old ferry's...

we have taken so many photos of it...in all kinds of weather...

we know it so well...& love it so much...



do you have a place like this...?

a piece of land or water that just feels like a friend...?

a place that calms you whenever you see it...?


the *harbour beaches* around Sydney often surprise travellers...

they are no surfers...no waves...no shops selling bikini's & smoothies...

just miles of glorious headland...secluded coves & lapping clean waters...

on a day of perfect sunshine- a piece of paradise on our doorstep...



we live on a wonderful stretch of coastline that offers both surf beaches & harbour beaches...


& yes we feel blessed...

as i said- much has happened on these waters for our little family...

we love them as we love our back garden...

do you have a place in this big wide world that you *know* as though it was your own garden...

it's our own little place, a place which we share with so many from around the world- but a place

that feels like it's just *a little bit* ours...

the beauty of seasons for a beach girl in the english countryside...

hello lovelies...


the seasons are changing & i am finding myself full of energy & ready to embrace the fresh air of Autumn...


living on the beaches of australia -seasons were almost non-existent...

not that i'm complaining about a constant temperature of very hot, hot, warm, not so warm & then chilly for  10 weeks!

but...since moving to England almost 3 1/2 years ago, one aspect that i have delighted in is the change from one season to the next...

the change in colours of our village...

the change of produce available...not mass-produced supermarket produce- but farmers market, local produce...

the change in one's step on a blustery walk to school...

long warm boots, scarves & layering...



i'm having a lovely day sewing as the weather whirls past my sewing room windows...


snug inside, drinking gallons of tea & creating cushions for a delightfully gorgeous new shop opening this week in the next village...

called lovely ducks & owned by a very cool dressing mother at school- you know the old battered converse/skinny jeans kinda school mama...i'm thinking it's going to be a wonderful place to shop...


local goods made by local women... 


the opening is tomorrow night so i'll be snapping some pickies for you all...


till then...embrace your seasons whether you are up here & rushing into Autumn...


or down there & slipping into spring...


love me in long boots & my new leopard print scarf...
