...monday morning jobs....house tidied...kids sports gear washed...library books found...beginning-of-the-week getting organised stuff...
...stuff you need to do after a weekend of cambridge cousins & loong talks into the wee hours of the morning...& too much good food & big glasses of wine....

....normal monday morning 'stuff'...

...after a monday morning 'rainy' walk through the village with the big ol' grey sky sitting on my shoulders, i came home to the washing baskets to sort & some cushions to make...& as i stepped over the mail piled inside the front door i spotted it...

...ahhh my moment of sunshine & sand...right there on my door step...waiting to be loved with a cup o'tea & my feet up...whats a beach girl from sydney to do when there's baskets of washing to be sorted & then she spots a moment of home on her doorstep amongst the brochures & bills...


...my gorgeous giveaway from the lovely sarah at 'a beach cottage'...


...i sort of feel like sarah is the british friend gone beach gal that i would have met if we'd stayed home in oz..
...her blog is soo much like my life in sydney in soo many ways...
...& it's nice to pop over & have a moment in it whenever i can, esp in the rain!...


...so smiling at my lovely brown package all tied up with string...
...& the oh so special cut out map of home sarah had attached to the top...& we know how much i loove maps...


...i ignored the washing baskets, the brochures & the bills...
...made myself a tea & devoured one of my favourite & my best, {& not to be got in england} magazines...
...australia's country style magazine...

 

...big hugs & thankyou's sarah as you gave one sydney gal a sunny, sandy monday in the rain...
...& being a british beach gal in oz she knows just what this is worth...
