HouseGoesOnHoliday: Keeping it real (and kangaroo cupcakes)

Blogging during the school holidays has its challenges. Like yesterday, which flashed past with virtually no time for personal creativity. I was too busy exploring a fabulous playground we've discovered beside the Parramatta River, then lunching at the lovely restaurant beside it, Armory Wharf Cafe.

Deja vu and Dingo Danglers

I got all giddy yesterday. No, it wasn't premature menopause. Or actual menopause (the latter being a more likely scenario).

I returned to the wine bar where I (illegally) spent every Saturday night during my teens: The Gunfighters Rest, in Hunter... Continue Reading →
