Hunt around in your backyard for coloured rocks, not the type you buy from a garden centre these ones need to be naturally occurring Australian rocks. If your garden is a formal manicured one you may need to go rock hunting in your local park. Put a couple of similar coloured rocks into a mortar [...]
When we went to see the terrifying sea monster and all his friends we also watched a really cool performance by a company called Erth. The play was live performance puppetry showcasing characters from an Australian production called Nargun and the stars. What we saw was called I, Bunyip and was more like watching a [...]
I just realized something, I don’t think I ever throw keys out. This cup is a sort of key ring for all the loose keys I have, non of them open anything anymore. Items of note, the coloured keys were a present for Glenn before we were married they opened my parents house before [...]

Ok so this is not the best photo, it was taken on a mobile phone in a dimly lit hospital room, but if you have been following Finns story you will understand why it is my favourite photo so far this year. If you want to read about Finns story read this post. Finn [...]
Yes I know I’m a little behind in my Easter well-wishing but once you read this story you might just understand why. Easter and more specifically the whole egg laying part and our family do not mix.
