Our table

I'm loving our kitchen table right now, laden with colour.







The last lemons and grapefruits from Grandma's tree.







Nasturtiums picked by my daughter from Grandma's garden.







Wattle from the roadside.







Oranges from a friend.

Pretty things

Collected by little hands, on a walk at dawn.

At my house......

I have always wanted a English-style cottage garden. Rambling roses and a sprawling walled kitchen garden. It has taken me about 20 years to realize, that where I live, that is simply not possible.

So, it is with new eyes that I look today at the blooms in my own subtropical garden. It's grey, rainy and miserable here, but as I walk around our garden, delightful jewel coloured discoveries are being made.......

And they are brightening my day.
