hi hi.....virtual coffee time...
yep you have the *pink chair*...my fave & my best...
i'll have the stool...
ok...you first...
how was your weekend?
are you somewhere warm...
are you gazing at the ocean?
are you snowbound somewhere...
are you eyeing off your driveway that needs clearing yet again...?
i'm sitting in a little pocket of sunshine...
spying *snow drops* coming in my garden...
in australia my garden is made up of two types of plants-tough...& tougher...
with water restrictions & a seemingly endless summer i let the strong water-saving plants thrive & just live without the rest...
but here in england...in the countryside...in the cool weather...with an abundance of rain water...
i have a rambling garden full of beautiful bulbs...& *water-reliant* plants & flowers...
they are all beginning to push up through the soil...
bringing the first moments of spring with them...



if we were really sharing a pot this morning...
i would show you my new i-phone apps...
i didn't *lug* my gorgeous canon with me to london this time...
i wanted to do the less-touristy thing & snap with my phone...
i am in lurve with my i-phone...
&
took all these pickies with the *cross process* & *hipstamatic* apps...
what d'ya think?
grainy b & w travel photos...
real life moments...
my kiddos have me addicted to the apps store...!








if we were really meeting for a coffee this morning...
i would tell you how much i love london...
& also how much i adore coming back to our big old country house...
& the quiet of a market town life...
greenwich village...
market lunches...
hampstead heath...
boat journey down the thames...
saint pauls...
quirky hole-in-the-wall shops...
lovely mad londoners...
endless walking...
city life...



what wonderful memories again for our kiddos...
creating more connections...links to our life on this side of the world...
aussie kids in london...
smiles...laughter...travel...friendships...
*stuff* to take home with us...
to treasure forever...


if we were really meeting for a tea in my front room...
warming our toes in that gorgeous sunshine...
i would slip you a banana muffin...
fresh & hot from my big old stove...
& i would talk you into travelling...anywhere...anytime...
just do it...
as much as you can...
memories are priceless...treasured...
no regrets...
be it abroad or a few hours away...go...
make some memories...





&
when i send you off with a tin of muffins
for the road
go say *hi* to amy at *lucky number 13*
our lovely host for
