We made our way south for a long weekend with the Stones and Crabtrees!
Such a beautiful weekend away, exploring the south - Kojonup, Bluff Knoll and Bremer Bay. It's always so nice to spend a weekend with friends ... conversations are able to go from ebb to flow and so many things can be discussed.
Farming families are always the perfect hosts ... warm beds, endless cups of tea and good food!

Some more summer moments ..


Late evenings at the beach watching the sunset. Often with a bushfire the sunsets are even more spectacular. Very bittersweet.

Rusty had his operation ... and nearly drove us mad with the bucket on his head for two whole weeks.

Brunch on the weekend with the Balfours, watching basketball and using our new buffet.

Linen napkins from the wedding all freshly washed and pressed and sent out to special people who helped with the wedding day.


"The pines" ... a local park we visit that Rusty loves.


Water after the beach .. what a spoilt dog!!

Writing thank you cards with fresh coffee.

A very spontaneous long weekend down in Denmark - and a new car to test out! Bit of a whirlwind getting it all happening but we got there and hit the road early Saturday morning. We are so lucky to have friends scattered all about the south and north west, willing to let us stay at their places.
Alana invited us to her parents house in Denmark and we jumped at the offer.
The cloudy skies cleared each afternoon and we visited Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Conspicuous Cliffs and West Cape Howe. Such a green and peaceful part of the world.

A trip away down south in January as we usually do. This time poor Jo was sick so her and Ash couldn't make it. Brad, Nerida, Todd and I enjoyed a few nights right on the water in Dunsborough. Learning what it's like to go away with two dogs who dont reaaally get along and facing a dog beach!

Beautiful mornings walking on the sandbar, Nerida carrying our little neice or nephew and realising this will probably be our last trip away as just a four!

Weather turned towards the end of the weekend which made for some windy walking at Rabbits.

New years day at Leighton beach ... cracking weather!
Bradburns are back in town for good (and to welcome their little baby!)
Lazy mornings out the front in the hammock enjoying the cool breeze.
Breweing up coffee in the Chemex, Celtics on and Todd cooking up breakfast for me. 

Nine of my favourite shots from 2015. A busy, vibrant and wonderful year.

We celebrated others engagements and weddings, had a new little addition Rusty arrive, celebrated Todd turning thirty, honeymooned, travelled to Europe with the Stokes family and road travelled north. But most importantly, we got married. We started our lives as a new family, together. The two of us. Surrounded by all our favourite people we said our 'I do's' in what really was the most perfect day. I can't wait to keep building this beautiful life together.




A spirited little red dog entered our world and we called him Rusty.


A beautiful spot we discovered just down from our honeymoon cabin in Walpole. 


Todd's thirtieth birthday. Friends and family at Little Creatures and a surprise Bruce Springsteen cake with sparklers.


Beautiful blue skies in Venice.


Our wedding day - 14.11.15.


Hiking along the caldera in Santorini.


The Valley of the Giants tree top walk on our honeymoon.


An emu walking across the road on our trip up north in January.

Celebrating our first wedding as husband and wife at Krissie and Nige's beautiful nuptials!

Some moments from our christmas celebrations for 2015.
Such a busy time with our own wedding, then the Grech/Broomham wedding and the Harford/Balfour wedding.
We had a dinner party at our place with all the usual culprits ... three different types of tacos! Chris was in town and there which was so nice.
We celebrated christmas day at the Rich's ... I made a video for the first time and set it to Lovely Day by Bill Withers. Might be a new tradition I think!
We then celebrated boxing day evening with Todd's parents, Brad and Nerida were up in Jurien. It was nice to lay the table with gifts from our wedding.

New Years Eve was at our house with the Bradburns and Vandeleurs. Crazy to think two years prior we were pissing it up at Clarences in Mt Lawley, one married, one engaged, one dating.
Now it's one married, one pregnant, one baby - beautiful Evelyn!
