The rather unfortunate result of flying in the wrong direction on Christmas Eve meant that I sort of spent Christmas on the plane. Sort of as in reality it was a non day which I guess meant it was a non Christmas as well. On the other hand the plethora of left over Christmas decoration… Continue reading Post Christmas

Bust Craftacular and the week that was
One of the best things I love about London is the likelihood of bumping into events that would never venture out into Australia. A good example is Bust’s Craftacular, a DIY craft market sponsored by my favourite magazine that finally expanded across the Atlantic and held its first London Craftacular this year. Held in a… Continue reading Bust Craftacular and the week that was
Autumn postcard
Some photos taken during the weekend when I wandered into Epping Forrest with some Flickr peeps. It was a gorgeous day and I didn’t take as many photos as I should being happy to soak in the atmosphere. My grandmother used to have a gigantic print of a European forrest in autumn and when I… Continue reading Autumn postcard
Laura Marling

Halloween and November

In any case, the pumpkins were carved, guests were invited and it was a whole lot of fun eventhough we didn’t get any kiddies trick or treating in our direction.

World Zombie (sun)Day
The one extra hour is making me feel less like the undead in the past few days; funnily enough that’s exactly the crowd I bumped into on Sunday. Sunday 26th of October was International Zombie Day with walks made in most of the major cities around the world. The weather was miserably wet and… Continue reading World Zombie (sun)Day
