Me and my cousins

Taking a family photo isn't always easy. Luckily our photographer was especially patient.

I'm in London, and it's quite cold

It's a bit of a culture shock going from 30º to -2º. Central heating helps, as does mulled wine. On Saturday I went to Ottolenghi, where I've wanted to go for years. It exceeded all expectation, and as if having lunch there wasn't enough I brought home a box of cakes for tea.

Melbourne, Day Six

How did six days go by so quickly? Our last day in Melbourne consisted of an acer-than-ace breakfast at Proud Mary, a walk through Fitzroy Gardens (and a glance at Australia's oldest house), shopping on Brunswick St, a drink at Grace Darling followed by supper at GigiBaba (with Chris and Julia from Masterchef, don'tcha know).

Melbourne made me feel very homesick, perhaps because it's quite like London. Since we got back I've been repeating my new mantra frequently: Perth has better beaches than Melbourne. Perth has better beaches than Melbourne. Perth has better beaches than Melbourne. Perth has better beaches than Melbourne.

And who needs daylight savings anyway?

Mr & Mrs Cameron-McKenna

Holly & Dan arrived yesterday afternoon, and gave us these mugs as an engagement present. The name change issue is becoming even more confusing.

The Duchess

Yesterday I bought a new bike. She's not the The Princess that I had in London, but she's a pretty good stand in.

Oh happy day! (Part II)

Today I signed for another whole lot of stuff to be delivered from London... after six months we finally have something on our walls.

A very special birthday, part II

The following day we carried on the celebrations with a party, full of homemade birthday cards, new haircuts and lemon meringue parfait.

A very special birthday, part I

Last Friday it was my Grandma's 80th birthday. We kicked off the celebrations by having supper at The Victoria in Sheen, which was the perfect setting for such a special occasion. Nigella provided dessert, in the form of her 'chocolate raspberry pudding cake'. Delicious.
