Bali

 

 

 

Hi everyone, sorry for the absence - still unpacking and getting back into the swing of everyday life.

 

Thought I'd share a few images of our trip to Bali. It was a sensational trip with many things to remember. Like temples and mountains in mist, water park peace and quiet for me (only way to go!), ceremonies, lovely long lunches, beautiful houses and garden sheds with deer plaques that I wanted to stash in my suitcase in the middle of the night and sneak out of the country.

 

Hope everyone had a great break over the Xmas/New Year period. I promise to try and get back to regular posting as soon as the real world catches up with me. {And seeing as I'm back in the office tomorrow, I'm sure that will happen very soon!}

Oozes Cool

 

Be still my palpitating heart. This place is a bit alright, now isn't it?! I was hooked the minute I saw that outdoor area. Imagine the fireplace roaring, gluhwein in hand and everywhere white. Just stunning.

 

Apart from that knock out, this place oozes cool, from the timber, leather, cane - through to the stone and concrete bathroom. This is a bit of alpine heaven.

Hello, Hello

 

Well hello, hello. Hope everyone is having a lovely start to the weekend. After being down south last week, followed by a whirl wind work trip and more whirl wind work stuff, it's good to be at home having a second Saturday morning coffee.

 

The boys and I headed down to Albany on the WA south coast. We had one gorgeous hot day, and then it rained. And rained. And rained. But it was still lovely.

 

Lots of seeing the incredible sites, a couple of long lunches, and a good deal of camera avoidance was had.

 

Such beautiful scenery down there, thought you might like a squizz.

Friday Affliction

Wishing to escape is a typical Friday affliction right? It's not just me is it?

This place hasn't helped calm the flight response this morning. Imagine the peace there must be at this amazing little coastal shack in Uruguay.

So simple and so enticing.

Beside That

This place is the stuff that my beach house dreams are made of. I love the casual feel of this NZ bach.

A simply clad structure it still contains all I'd ever want. A few modern classics, a bit of colour - but not the kind that blinds you, large windows and doors open for the breeze and the salt smell to come in, and all surrounded by tough as guts lawn. Perfect for the ad hoc clothes line, washing down people and things and lazing around on.

But that last picture is probably the most simple but easy way to pin point the beach house for me - old vintage chair as a make shift bedside, and beside that, summer after summer's books. Perfect.
