September Highlights

I love looking back over the photos in my iPhone and seeing what caught my attention this month. From photos I have taken to things I have saved from Facebook. It's great to see the the themes evolving and the experience si have had. After my last share all I thought I would make this a regular thing to look back at the month that was.

So here is September in a snapshot or two.

Sunset from my balcony

Ceiling at the NGV, Melbourne - I attend a luncheon with Rachel Griffiths as the guest speaker

I found this quote the day I booked my Fiji trip!

Sunset in Fiji. Bliss

Six days of nothing but reading and relaxing in the sun

And swimming in water that was a very pleasant 24 degrees!

Getting up early for sunrise in Fiji

Loving this new look from Alannah Hill SS13/14 collection

Homemade seafood laksa overkill. Amazing but way too much to eat

Morocco or Brazil (Can't remember) but loving the colours and architecture. Both are on my travel list.

Sunset reflected on the Sydney Opera House

My October issues of my favourite magazines ready for Sunday afternoon (A secret pastime of mine)

Grand Final Day snacks - as always I over cater!

What an amazing month. I wonder what October will bring??

More to come as I spend another weekend baking. Xxx

Autumn Sunrise and a Surprise

Another beautiful autumn sunrise this morning. Every day I see these balloons, I remind myself that one day I want to take a trip and see the city from the quiet spot in a balloon. One day.... Sunrise from my balcony And on another sunny note - drum roll please............. I have a new job!! Yippee. A wonderful moment happened on my birthday Friday where I got a call to say all the hard work and effort I put in applying and interviewing have paid off. Woo Hoo. So it was double celebration with toasts for me and my new role. More details on that to come as I draw closer to my start date. Needless to say a weight has been lifted and I feel that I am moving forward rather than treading water. A feel some baking coming on to celebrate. Hope you are having a wonderful morning. xxx
