What the Aussie girl drank

And this isn’t all of them.

‘Oh you’re her father’s girl!’ people always said while I was growing up. My dad grew up in a country town and was one of ten, 8 boys and 2 girls. He and his brothers played a lot of footy, took a lot of girls to the local dances (he met Mum at around this time) – and the band of brothers learnt the ways of the bottle pretty early on. There are many parts of me that are Dad and they’re not all liquid-related – but let’s just say there’s a tradition to uphold and an annual trip back to Australia requires some catching up. Thankfully I’ve acquired a bit of Mum in me too in the last few years, but hey, it is Summer and it is once a year.

So yes, I think I am still officially Dad’s girl.

My delicious journey’s list will follow!

Bon Anniversaire Mamy – Happy 100!!

Dearest Mamy

All our love to you on this big big day.

And a thousand mercis for making me feel part of your family.

Gros bisous

I was out walking near Mum and Dad’s and noticed this, admiring its impeccable condition – a well-loved machine with an Aussie flag pinned with pride.

I then noticed a guy, arms folded standing on the footpath, also admiring it.

It made me laugh, the car’s position so far from the curb – so typical. These things think they can get away with anything.

And then the owner arrived and the guy and I shared a nice smile.

Bonne Annee for 2012!

Yes it’s been a while.

It’s now even 2012!

So a Happy New Year to you, full of good health, love and happiness

Since all the excitement of the last post… (way back then in November!?!!) with my bro asking ‘what’s with the Aboriginal flag?’ and a mate describing Benjamin as looking like Braveheart, a few km’s have been covered. I haven’t been blogging, but I’ve been busy snapping and am now itching to finally share the last month and a bit. Wanna guess my whereabouts?!?

It all started out like this…
