I love the school holidays. I love the gentle, peaceful pace of things. I love all the time that we have! These holidays have been so good already, with my beautiful friend Amanda and her two children coming to stay! We had such a good time. The children played (the youngest ones slept) and we […]

The weeks are going by so quickly now. The days are shorter, the nights are much darker and longer and our home currently smells of woodsmoke, soup and paint. I am relieved to be on holidays with the children. I am relieved that Tasmania changed to a four-term school year. I am excited to have […]
