So much going on. A very picture heavy post as a inadequate catch up. Over the winter we have skied, cooked, played, staycationed and generally enjoyed a steady unrushed flow. Making my own toasted muesli. Super easy – I ‘measure’ but filling the jar I will be keeping it in with the ingredients. For this…

Weekending
It started as a plan to head out and go walking, we left home in chilling air but sunshine and the closer to the mountains (and our walking location) we got the cloud built and rain started falling. We we holed up in a cafe for drinks and chips and a toasty. We hoped it…
Around Here
Holiday activities, gym comp. Learning. In season fruit – Feijoas are weird and an acquired taste but the kid likes them. Baking.
Around here
Jungle gym climbing, baking, homemade tomato sauce, keeping plants alive for more than a week!!! The exciting going-ons of the last few weeks. And some sewing too.
Currently – January
Currently, I’m .. Watching – Babylon Berlin on Netflix and Greys on demand as the episodes arrive express from the US. The former is weird, not awful, but definitely weird. Listening to – The Greatest Showman soundtrack. On repeat, the kid loves it also. Reading – I’m re-reading Legend by Marie Wu. Mostly because I…

Around the House
Autumn is here, cooler nights, bonfires and woodburners going. Fruit and veggies form the garden. Peppers, courgettes, spinach and kale. Carrots and peaches.Sunny days outdoors, sidewalk chalk and bike riding. The chiminea burning rosemary twigs and scenting the washing. The kid found a Mantis who was aggressivly studied (poked and prodded) before being released. I…
Little peeks of Autumn
A walk ona cool morning yielded some delicious and unexpected delights. Blackberries which we spectacularly missed last year. Well we hit the metaphorical and possibly literaly blackberry jackpot. So many. So few tarty ones. Because lets be honest here. While natures bounty is all well…
some creating
Christmas clothes, christmas ornaments. A little pattern testing that ive combined into Christmas clothes making. Her own ornaments. The easiest, fastest most fuss free pizza Ive ever made. Seriously. I make pizza pretty often and make the dough myself. Im no novice in that respect. But. This. Was live changing. Two ingredients. No rise! And…
