CHASING THE LOVELY (A BLOGIVERSARY GIVEAWAY)! I can’t quite believe it’s July already. Not only that, but I can’t believe that on the 28th July it will be a whole year since I started my blogging journey! Time has absolutely flown – which just goes to show that time really does fly when you’re having […]
TEA FOR TWO (plus a few more)! Life is filled with nuances of both sad and happy times, which sometimes overlap. Nuances that subtly change from day to day, and moment to moment. Over the last few weeks, I’ve experienced many such moments. I’ve attended numerous funerals, which always bring such sadness. The most recent […]
Word has truly got around that I love food. Not long after my invite and review of the Sucre Chocolate Cafe in Balmain a little while ago, I was invited to a new cooking class on offer in Sydney. These cooking classes are held by the very talented Sonia from “Sonia’s Kitchen” in Burwood. I […]
We’ve just enjoyed a long weekend in Sydney, albeit a rainy one. I always love weekends, but when we have one extra day tacked on the end, they’re even better! We were invited to a friend’s farm on the Saturday night for a good old-fashioned bonfire. It was so much fun and reminded me of […]

I’ve definitely been slack on the cupcake decorating front, haven’t I? Even my family are starting to complain. My husband keeps showing me pictures of the cupcakes he wants me to make for him from my cupcake calendar. First it was a sugary golf scene….
I’ve been asked to speak at a “Girlfriends-themed” High Tea in a couple of weeks, which has really got me thinking about what it means to be a good girlfriend. Focussing on that question this week, I realised how blessed I am to have so many amazing girlfriends in my life. In the space of […]
To begin this post, I’m going to share a recipe I created this week for delicious Berry & White Chocolate Muffins. It’s not the most exciting occurrence for my week, but my family devoured them and reported back with a “thumbs-up”, so I thought I’d get this out of the way before I share all […]
Born on the 9th May 1931, she lived a joy-filled and mostly carefree childhood. Her days consisted of playing with her siblings in their quaint mountain village, climbing trees, riding horses and picking olives and other fruits and vegetables from the family farm.
Okay, I know I’ve already posted this week, but there’s something else I just can’t wait to share…especially for all you lovers of fine chocolate!! You may have had enough of all things chocolate over Easter, but I personally, can never have too much of it! So you can imagine my excitement when I was […]
