Lists of Inspiration...#52 Lists


I've been following Pip over at Meet Me at Mikes for some time now and since the beginning of the year, a whole hoard of bloggers have been taking part in the #52 lists challenge that Pip has set.  Well of course I just LOVE a good list, so, naturally, I have decided to join in. Do you love lists?

I'm not too sure exactly where I'd be without the habit of scribbling down stuff under the pretence of being more organised. I'm often no better off for it - that is a lot of the time I forget I even made the list or have it but don't refer to it.
  But the PROCESS gives one such clarity. It stops you from thinking a bazillion things at once and afterwoods...I find I can focus. 

I know, I know, it won't be 52 lists for the year but how's this - I'll post a new list each and every Sunday for the rest of 2013. Agreed? Cool.  Well, there's only one sensible place to start really then isn't there?


Do you make lists for op shopping? Or do you wing it? Happy op shopping folks x

Just in time for breakfast...


Wow! What a whirlwind few months I have had. Last October I was lucky enough to go to England to see my family after six years which was just so incredibly special, it was such a surreal trip which I enjoyed with my lovely family and had a truly magnificent time. The memories really are some that I will always treasure. 

So now after having moved interstate upon returning to Australia and finally being settled I have actually managed to begin sorting through a seemingly never ending stream of photographs.

My trip started with Dad collecting me from the airport and driving me to Nan's, but first we made a small detour for some, let's face it, well deserved breakfast as my three previous aeroplane meals left a lot to be desired.  This was anticipated however, so I had infact been living on Sesame Snaps for the last 27 hours.




So as you imagine this was a welcome treat and kind reprieve from the plastic nonsense served to me on board...Ah for the love of good cafes, counters laden with cakes.  Obviously I bought some. 





Mmmmmm yum! After breakfast, I opted for the Pear & Hazelnut cake to take for afternoon tea with Nan and it was every bit as mouth watering as the pictures but they'll have to wait until my next post where I've organised some recent snippets of crochet to share too...see you then, take care x
