Discovered your blog today via Lucent Imagery, and what a lovely find it is with a focus on seasonal produce and crafting- I'm in the process of knitting a lap rug from squares. I've also been searching to no avail for some awesome winter boots...but being on the Gold Coast, well let's just say it's rather limiting. I spotted 2 awesome pairs of boots you're wearing in a couple of posts. Campers perhaps? I'd love to know what the other boots are too. Thanks (no more fashion questions I promise).

My son knows it's all his -he can claim it whenever he wants (not including exam/test days - he has tried!) and he just needs to give me a few days notice in case it interferes with work etc. We usually end up going to see a movie together (an early session so that the cinema is ridiculously empty and cavernous) then it's time for food glorious food. A jaunt in a park, a small treat purchase (usually a new novel) and more food/coffee/snacks/cake!! It's utter bliss. We know we're breaking "the rules" and we relish every second. They will be the days I remember in amongst the haze of days where the rules WERE FOLLOWED. Thank you for sharing your scared time.

Winter warming tricks for me include reading a book snuggled under a quilt with a wheat pack or hot water bottle on my lap, usually having a hot chocolate too helps..

But hey Ho, our flowers r looking very pleased with themselves! Sorry to hear of eczema, I suffer with it myself and have bn using avocado oil as a moisturizer lately. It has really helped me. Wow, that's so cool that u take your girls out of school, over here in the UK the schools so don't have a sense of humour about it! Shame, in a way. God, that tea described above sounds amazing! I want to make it!

That top pic of you and Bren is exactly what your whole family feels like to me; quirky, beautiful, wonderfully yourself, but mostly pure real true love and delight. <br />I'm sorry that the next day after your holiday in yarny street was the opposite. I think it's about keeping bringing us back to remembering to be present and "enjoy" or appreciate the good and the bad. That each is important in our life. And to teach us to work through the hard times; they keep coming back so we may as well embrace them (somehow!). I think you do that so honestly and beautifully. I really appreciate and love the way to struggle, but see your struggle and don't get caught up in it, but work through it. <br />Winter warmers - urgh. It's raining again here. Which means stuck in this tiny shack with a leaky roof. The fire struggled this afternoon and we had to (almost) relight it. The kids hate soup for dinner (to the moon and back!). It's so hard not to slump down into it. This afternoon, in a break in the endless rain that is flooding our yard again, I snuck quietly outside and soaked up the last of the light, the deep blue of the evening. I took some photos and talked some words to myself. I breathed deep and looked at the little tiny details of life around me. I loved it all so much. And I etched those teeny moments onto my soul to fulfill these other moments. Also, I've taken lately - when I can - to standing fully in the morning / afternoon sun and closing my eyes. Ignoring all around me, and breathing deeply. Let the sun be part of me. Storing it up for when I need it. <br />Good night sweet you xxx<br />(love your tights - are they "OK" brand? I love mine from you last year, think a new pair...!). elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-61385310039253283282013-06-12T22:33:46.744+10:002013-06-12T22:33:46.744+10:00What a lovely post.

Oh how I would love to take a spontaneous day of to escape the hussle and bussle of school life for just a day (just secretly I think quiet a few kids in my class did take an extra long weekend!) it's good for the soul. I've made myself a winter bucket list. To remind me of all the fun things that do come along with winter as the days get a little bit longer and cooler. <br /><br />Thank you for giving us a peek into your world!
