a sydney winter day which felt like spring.
15 minutes from our house is a river. one of my favourite walks is the two valley trail, especially the mangrove section between tempe and undercliffe. only metres from the main highway south, metres from the diesel goods train line, a stone's throw from sydney international airport ... this.

a small taste of fairyland, full of birds and growth, a world away from the city and yet right at our doorstep.

bastille day.
as I was waiting for my coffee at la renaissance in the rocks, I happened to spy the chef at work in the kitchen. it even had tiny french flags at the top.

my little one bought me poppies before he went away for a few days.
he remembered they are my favourites.
a very rare morning waking alone in the house.

a very rare evening home alone.
my favourite pasta dinner.
olive oil, garlic, marjoram, parsley, black olives, green olives, a huge handful of rocket, basil & parmesan.
