Can you believe that it is June already? Winter has hit Sydney with what feels like an Antarctic wind blowing across our city. I hope it’s a little warmer in your town. I hope you enjoyed sharing your May adventures over at The Climbing Tree last month. Reading your posts was so interesting and added a plethora of destinations …
Do you have a sweet tooth? I do so felt it was perfectly natural for a little indulgence over the weekend when Miss N and I were invited to a high tea at Passiontree Velvet , Macquarie Centre with a girlfriend and her two daughters. We were promised an indulgent high tea with Passiontree Velvet blending the …

For us that will always be difficult. Just before the new millennium, T became very sick on returning from a huge European adventure. He wasn’t expected …
Up until recently, Master R has suffered from motion sickness. The nausea comes on quite quickly, is unpredictable and provides no time to quickly grab a towel or bag. Despite prompting and practice he has never worked out that learning forward onto the xx . As you know, we love to travel and have never …
Pick up almost any Californian Tour book or brochure and you will find a few pages dedicated to the very small town of San Simeon. Positioned almost halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles you could blink and miss it while driving along Highway 1 with its entire area only 2.1 square kilometres in size. So …
Earlier this month a new partnership between Code Club Australia and the Tasmanian government was announced. This partnership will see coding form part of the primary school curriculum across Tasmania, the first state-wide roll out in Australia. In no time coding with kids will become the norm. I find this incredibly exciting and whilst I am not gearing up to …

Winter is almost here and already more than a handful of our outdoor plans have been washed out by torrential rain. The silver lining (and there is always an upside when life sends us a curve ball) is that we’ve had plenty of time to be creative inside.
