I had lunch with a colleague in London today. She asked me how I was and I explained I was uncomfortable and restless. Change must be afoot because I am feeling incredibly chaotic. I have started meditating more because my spirit is telling me I need to. It helps the chaos and overwhelm. But, I
SEND ME AN ANGEL!
99 YEARS YOUNG
I called my Grandad in Australia this-morning. He immigrated from the UK just before I was born meaning he has lived in Australia just over a third of his life. So strictly speaking, he is more a Brit than an Aussie except for the fact that he will not leave the house without his Akubra
A BIG DECISION
I woke up this morning knowing I had to make a big decision today. I felt the weight of the decision and I didn’t feel confident at all about making it. No-one could give me the answer. I just had to do what felt right. I have been part-time contracting in the City
SUNDAY LUNCH
Something I love about living in the UK is the tradition of having a roast dinner on Sunday afternoon. On my Bag List is a desire to cook more often and try new recipes as well as spend more quality time with special friends. On a Sunday, the two very neatly go hand-in-hand. So, I
2.4 PLEASE!
Finn and I were both a bit under the weather today, so we took it easy. Popped out for some groceries but the rest of the day was spent watching films, baking (appallingly!) and pottering about the house. Taking time out to chill with Finn takes my mind off work. My work occupies

AUSTRALIA DAY
It’s Australia Day today so I thought I would jot down all that I loved about growing up Down Under…….

Going to the beach after school School closures because it was too
DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
When I was pregnant I came over ‘all creative’. I was in nesting overdrive and I wanted to make my new baby feel very welcome and loved when he arrived. I don’t really ‘do’ cooking, so I didn’t ever get any major drive to start baking – which many women do. Instead, I found myself
LOVING MY JOB
Today I was reminded – yet again – how much I enjoy my work and right now I am feeling very grateful to have discovered a way to combine my passions and highest values with a source of income. I am a lucky girl. I got so excited to see my Greetings Cards being
BOX-SET ECSTASY!
THANK GOD! I have finished the ‘Prison Break’ box-set. I can have my life back! Great escapism but I am sensing at a bit of a cost. Life has been rather full-on lately so I have been sneakily escaping to a fantasy world of crime, romance and excitement. It started with the odd episode here
