Back down under!

Greetings from down under!  It's glorious today and it has been wonderful to swap a cold grey UK for a lovely hot and sunny Australia by climbing aboard the trusty steed pictured below and jetting off to the sun.  
This was home for the next 24 hours.  No room to swing a cat of course, and after nearly 24 hours of sitting in such a confined space we were mightily glad to finally land in Melbourne late last night.
We had a couple of stops en route.  Dubai and Brunei.  Been there, done that.  We decided that two stopovers makes the journey seem so much longer.  Last time we flew with Qantas and stopped briefly in Singapore but this time with two stops the rigmarole of getting off the plane, hanging round in an airport departure lounge, going through security AGAIN and so on is just rather exhausting!   Anyway, the important thing is that we are here and all set to do more exploring of this wonderful city, and of course enjoy every minute spent in the company of you know who - the Melbourne Munchkin!  Boy, has she changed a lot since we left her at the end of June last year!

Hope you will watch this space.  We've got six weeks to fill.  Piece of cake (probably lots!).

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
