Hello! Here we are a few days out from our trip and I feel like I need to leave a few reminders and notes before I go. My life over the past few weeks has been led by ‘to do’ lists and meetings (why is March so busy?) and so, along the way, when people…
As you’ll hear in the opening minute of the video, we were told to meet at Yering Station. In the time it took to get from my suburb over to Yarra Glen, as I passed (and was passed by) a surprising amount of traffic on the back roads of winery country, I had woken…
Keira came along when I was shooting the video for last week’s post about what I will be packing for Europe (100+ outfits and they all fit in half a suitcase!) and asked if she could do one too. Of course I said, and this is the result. If you stick around to the…
I’ve put together a fun little video today going over how we are going to be packing extra super light for Europe next month: 5 weeks, 4 people and only taking 2 regular-sized suitcases. Can’t be done? Au contraire! (I’m practising my French.) What 20 Pieces Am I Taking? 1 pair of blue jeans (jeanswest)* 1 pair…
Goodness, look at the date – I’m running late for my regular ‘What I’m Reading’ post. With the kids at home on holidays still, and my playing around with new video software, I’ve been preoccupied! Things will return to normal (or our version of normal!) next week when school goes back. So – books! To…
Last year, I published the speech from my NSW launch of Crying in the Car. As a child, what was my desire? My ambition? Here’s an excerpt from that speech. Before I even really realised what I was doing, my pen was up, my paper was out, and I wrote two words. Write + Travel…
We were guests of InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto for the purposes of this post. The InterContinental hotel chain has recently released their Planet Trekkers menu. This menu was developed by Park Lane InterContinental chef Theo Randall along with leading children’s food expert Annabel Karmel. We were invited along to give it a try and, given our…
We’ve been away. When a very sick family member calls asking for you to come, you go. So we did. And now we’re home, all down with a bit of a lurgy, but back all the same. I made a video about the road trip, made in a Ford Territory Titanium which we’ve got for…
This photo was taken in the centre of Macau, while we were travelling overseas at the beginning of 2013. For new readers: we went over to Hong Kong – where Riley proceeded to break his arm! – as a sort of pilgrimage. Adam’s 98 year-old grandfather lived there in the 1930s, smack in the…
