That ocean. It’s become our favourite television programme. We can sit transfixed for great lengths of time, just watching it be. On a day like today, it’s a deep navy colour, interspersed with frothy white horses as the wind works it’s menace. Yesterday it was as smooth as glass, almost blindingly bright when the sun popped up behind it. And on Tuesday, just before another storm, it was so dark and angry that it looked almost black, and remained that way for 3 days straight. It’s changing colours and patterns has left me curious to know more about it. For those who share my curiosity, this article explains the colour and changes far better than I could.

Unplug, Switch Off
Monday, 3 November 2014
Living on the beach has helped alleviate the general angst and stress that comes naturally from city life. Despite our new laid back lives, there is no escaping apartment living, endless traffic jams and overcrowded shopping malls. There is nothing better than hopping in the car, finding that secluded cottage hidden amongst the trees (sans mobile phone reception) and just switching off for the weekend.

The Mighty Clog
Friday, 31 October 2014
I may or may not have a problem with purchasing excessive footwear. It’s a mild addiction that I am sure many of you can relate to. Care to indulge it with me? If so, then stick around because I am posting some eye candy of my new favourite obsession – clogs. I’ve been swooning over many a pair, but specifically, I am coveting these pretties from Free People
And just because I couldn’t resist it. It’s a wall of clogs!
Backyard Adventures
Wednesday, 29 October 2014
When we received news that our Australian visas were granted last year, the first (of many) major worries was where the hell would we stay when we got there. We knew almost nobody, had never visited before, were jobless and had few precious dollars in the bank account. Many evenings of fraught research later, we came across a little studio above a garage in Maroubra on Airbnb. This little studio quite literally saved our bacon. Being affordable, close to the city for commuting to interviews and hosts with insider knowledge gave us the best possible start to our new lives in Sydney. Airbnb is now my first stop when we need somewhere to stay. Your choice is endless, your options are affordable and in my experience, your hosts are always friendly. If you have never used it before, I urge you to give it a go. If you need any motivation, take a look at this cute little 60s camper located in the Nashville backyard of J. Wes.
Here is the listing on Airbnb – but I found the original post here on Remodelista
Making a Break For It
Sunday, 26 October 2014
Now that we have our own set of wheels, we are exploring once more. Getting to know this part of the so-called Lucky Country. And boy oh boy, don’t we feel lucky to live here. Over the long weekend, we were able to drive down to our favourite part of New South Wales, the South Coast. We took the tourist drive which entails driving through the lush landscape of the Royal National Park and then following the road along the coastline, passing countless sleepy surfing villages along the way. Part of the road juts out from the land and you find yourself surrounded by ocean on the left and right – The Grand Pacific Drive. This part of the road is best seen at dawn or dusk but even though our alarms were set, the snooze button was just too tempting. I’ll share some more pics of the various towns we visited but here is the just of it…
