So many amazing shades of colours and lights on our recent trip to Uluru- be prepared for some spam on the red centre! So loved the visit with Fi - the sheer size of Uluru is so much better to appreciate on the ground from photos. So glad I got to visit on our special mother daughter few days! 💕

I am branching out from flowers and re-discovering the joy of my paintbrushes. This is a new one I am working on - takes me back to a glorious walk in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park WA on the Cape to Cape walk - looking out to the Indian Ocean. ps my photography needs improving as the colours haven't photographed very well - the blues and greens are actually quite vivid in the real! Work in progress!

Some weekends are more special than others and this was one of them.
A short Sydney break to see the fabulous Phantom of the Opera on the harbour at Mrs Macquarie’s chair - a spectacular harbourside setting - there is no doubt Sydney can be a show off! Whilst it was a wee bit damp through intermission the show went on and I loved it. A great way to see a variation of The Phantom to the stage indoor stage show. If you get an opportunity to go - do!
We did some walks, had breakfasts in great spots in both Clovelly and Bondi, ferry rides to soak up a brilliant sunny day on the harbour, followed by a gorgeous long lunch at Doyles Watson’s Bay Garden Bar which was the perfect spot to enjoy the surroundings, good company and food.
So lovely to do these fun things and catch up with our family. 💕
