a coastal weekend- Aussie style...

happy monday to y'all...it's a gorgeous one here on the beaches...


stunning autumn weather- crisp sunshine...clouds crossing a bright blue sky...

almost my fave time of year...i love the change of seasons- although to be fair- it's still swimming,

surfing...total beach weather here in Sydney!

thought you'd like to head up the coast with me this morning...




i'm unpacking this morning from a weekend of sunshine & surfboards...bbq's & sandy feet

up the coast...

i get many an email & comment about sharing more photos of the Australian coast line...

it's a beautiful coast line in even the worst of weathers...here it sits in all it's Autumnal glory...!

the beauty of getting out of Sydney is endless white beaches...turquoise waters & no crowds...

no crowds is the one that grabs me every time...heaven is an empty perfect beach...




although it's officially Autumn...we seem to be having endless days of sunshine amongst the rain...

the bush is lush...the air warm...& the ocean warmer...


it's moments like this, after 4 years in the English countryside, that still make me smile big...


i can't help it...a kiddo asleep in the sunshine is right up there as one of my sweetest images...

~~~~~~

Australia has many small holiday towns up & down it's coast line...

they're steeped in simple traditions where fishing...surfing...& cooking on the beach is a big as it

gets over a weekend...

luxuries in a big city these days...these coastal towns are sleepy, calm reminders of the way life can be...


we did the good ol' Aussie thing...& stayed in a coastal caravan park (albeit, in pretty sweet little 


cabins overlooking the bush leading to the beach)...


we slapped on sunscreen & walked the beaches...our kiddos were dry with surf salt...we smiled at how

much they seem to have grown in the few months we've been back home on the beaches...

it's all that sunshine & fresh air...


yep...someone was blessing us with perfect days...even at 7am we were bathed in light...


the simplest of weekends...family...ocean...nature...a stunning coast line...

this gals idea of heaven...


let me know what you think of our little hideaway...


if you come visit us *Down Under* we may just show you where it's hidden...maybe...

hope you enjoyed a little coastal fix...seagull & all...

off to plant some more herbs...lots to show you on the gardening front soon...


happy monday lovelies...

we'll be back to *Make it Mondays* next week

just had to show you some coastal heaven first!

a good life wednesday...seeing the world...

a good life wednesday...
as autumn hits england in a pair of boots & a scarf...
i am stealing lovely moments with the warmth of our good life in greece not so many days ago...


not quite ready to pull on the scarf & hat just yet...i'm wearing my silver birky's in defiance of the winds & enjoying our greek images of a good life wednesday...
wednesday a week ago- a good life wednesday on the mediterranean sea...








a good life wednesday...
a moment to pause & to look & to wonder at the world...


a moment to count your blessings...

to love your kids wandering the planet...

to love them getting to know the world a little bit more each time...

the new countries...the already loved countries...the memories...life...the time to just be together...



a good life wednesday
greek style
with lotsa olives
freckled noses
&
memories made
