The start of Spring is always such an amazing time I think....I always get blown away that after such a long and cold winter everything just springs back to life, leaves unfurl from somewhere inside branches (are all their leaves for all time already in there, waiting?) and growth is all around. … [Read more...]

Last week I had one of "those" afternoons. Or maybe it was a stretch of days. Who knows when you have a 2 year old around.

That thing from overseas

I'm finding it hard to focus on much at the moment...out trip to NY is fast approaching and becoming more real as each day passes.

1. 15 month old Maggie. Occasionally cranky, but mostly the actual sweetest thing I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. My favourite bit of this good thing?
