homemade pesto

After last month’s cooking club challenge of macaroons I was keen for something less finicky and fussy! I decided to set a theme that could be interpreted freely by everyone… make something from scra...

our last dinner in *paris*

Our final dinners in a city have come to be very precious to me. We sit and reflect on our time there, enjoy good food and just revel in the greatness of exploration together. I like to be seated as ...

a very rare wave of fear

My husband, dog and I stood in wet grass on a cool morning to watch our friends take off. The loud flame bursts filled the air with excitement. I love mornings. The promise of a new day to make of it...

beef pie & traditions

bernese mountain dog

When we walked into our friends’ housewarming party and saw this little guy, I pretty much threw myself onto the floor in seconds. You think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. I even said to my friends “...

homemade macaroons

I haven’t gone crazy for them in their trendiness as I am more savoury than sweet. But my commitment stretches far enough to buy them from three different places in Paris last year in the name of a t...

Easter in Australia is a four-day long weekend so there is plenty of time for relaxation and adventure. While we are very much city people, a country escape can be a great refresher. I love getting u...

architecture & happiness

One of my all-time favourite books is The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton. As strange as it may seem coming from a legally blind person, surroundings are very important to me. But I susp...

my urban garden projects

I have been reading about plants that are shown to have better air-cleaning capabilities for the home. It’s quite fascinating and helps to narrow down the myriad of possibilities. Of course, they mus...
