festival.

i know that no one in their right mind would take an alexander mcqueen scarf to a music festival...but we can dream. I WANT THAT SCARF. latitude tix and awesome company will have to do for now though. 

lazy day.

girls just wanna have fun.

Today was my friends Inga's birthday, so we had a BBQ and a little picnic in the garden. Craig set up his record player to play Cyndi Lauper and Bob Marley out the window. It was a little bit awesome.

Almost as awesome as this video clip, which I only saw for the first time today.

If there was ever a reason to shave off half your hair and dye the rest red...I think I just found it.

a day in the park set.

the date is set but the details are hazy.

i'm going home to see my beautiful boy and a few lovely friends, but leaving home and my beautiful friends and family behind.

things like this are helping to get excited about what the future might bring, instead of worrying.

home for easter.

portobello in summer.

i want to show you england when it's not brown and murky. it can be really beautiful. summer makes everything better :)

i feel like i'm coming out of hibernation.

sunshine.

Today was the first truly gorgeous day of the year.
It only just hit 7 degrees but the sunshine was beautiful.

You don't have to be outside to tell when the weather is nice in England: everyone just beams with enthusiasm when the weather takes a good turn. It's like we're coming out of hibernation.

On the plus side, moving to Australia will GUARANTEE more days like this. On the down side, those guys can really take their weather for granted over there. It's unlikely that the sunny nature of the sky will reflect the average persons resultant disposition.

I'm hoping I can be different than that: and I'll always be happy!

Here's hoping :)

Looking forward to sharing my life, my weather, my daylight and smiles with a certain floppy haired Aussie gent. x

just one.

if i had just one summer with you.

give me just the time, the money, the weather to sew my dreams together and i'd make it all ours.

patchwork collaborations of memories, longings, hopes, aspirations and we'd live it all out together.

bicycle rides through green local villages straight from childhood memories, and we'll giggle at pub names.

long sunday mornings with no-where to go but maybe the corner shop to buy eggs for breakfast.

i'll dress up for you, you'll take me out, hold my hand, take me no further than that bar we always walked past but never went in: it's a glamorous paradise right outside my front door when i'm with you.

we'll dance in my bedroom, in our lounge room, in bars, in streets, in fields.

we'll lay on the grass and watch all the families and friends being together at festivals.

we'll stay up late, intoxicated, elated, watching our favourite bands together or discovering new music.

we'll beg for the sun to stay down just so we can lay together that little bit longer.

i'll throw parties and show you off, show us off, laugh and talk well into the night.

we'll watch the new harry potter movie together.

we'll see each other's bare legs and arms in public as we squint through rays of sunshine.





if i had just one summer with you, i'd never let you forget.
