Australia week 1

so good to arrive in Sydney, feeling very lucky with so much time ahead to relax and be with friends.
loved arriving to the familiar australian smell; clean, unique and comforting.

a rainy start so went to museums, usually i bomb around in 30 minutes and head to the caf, but this time i especially loved the history of aussie art, i must be growing up!

then, to southern highlands. great to see fi enjoying life and she's featured in this month's country style, her textiles are fab and based on aussie botanics, and she's also developed a wallpaper range, check out her website 4leafclover.com.au
and. great timing, it was luc's 10th birthday, happy birthday luc, my gorgeous aussie godson.
lovely to be able to walk in the spring blossom and bump into roos, very cute.
birthdaytastic, judith was celebrating 73 years, more cake! yummmm

back to sydney for a sunny weekend at bondi where the young and beautiful live, the average age is 32, i kept my clothes on!
lovely to be with Adam and his beautiful daughter, Isobel. checked out all the green areas he's created, his favourite eateries and walks.
Jenn also has a lively and beautiful family and I can't wait to housesit in bondi next weekend.

and, fortuitous timing, i gatecrashed the sydney uni class of 95 reunion, so good to see people i taught 20 years on, lots happens in 20 years, loved the volume of chatter and seeing how we've grown up, our idiosynchrosies more pronounced, there was a fabulous warm energy.
