    • Dear Diary: Bung Knees & A Flying Niffler

    Dear Diary: Bung Knees & A Flying Niffler

    Firstly, apologies for this being a day late :(. I like to get these out on Sunday as a summary of the week, but nekminnit it was Monday! This week has been a weird one – some emotional ups & downs, let downs & inconveniences, but all in all it was manageable, and I was really glad for how close I am to my family this week. When I hear of people who don’t get along with their parents, for whatever reason, I feel so amazingly sad for them. Mine are my bedrock, and I can’t imagine going through life without…

    Adventure Time: National Rhododendron Gardens, Olinda

    Adventure Time: National Rhododendron Gardens, Olinda

    When I was a kid I remember Mum & Dad taking me to the National Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda, Victoria, and I recall having fun, but that’s about it. So when Shona and I decided to head back up there as fully fledged adults and semi-functioning adults, I was excited to see if it was as entertaining as I remembered!

    Why I Cry Nearly Every Time I See The Haka Performed

    Why I Cry Nearly Every Time I See The Haka Performed

    I come from a Ukrainian and Scottish background, both known for a love of potatoes & booze, but unfortunately not so much for their awesome war rituals. I’m really not sure what it is exactly that gets me so emotional when I see the haka performed; it could be the raw power and strength mixed right n with the vulnerability and emotion. Whatever it is, I tear up like a baby when ever I see it. So when I saw this haka performed at Benjamin and Aaliyah Armstrong’s wedding, I was a complete blithering mess. It went viral and has had over…

    Man Crush Monday: Eddie Redmayne

    Man Crush Monday: Eddie Redmayne

    There’s something about a man who manages to be dashing & daring yet feminine & intelligent, all at the same time. Eddie Redmayne is one of the rare men who embody these stunning qualities. Born on 6 January 1982 in Westminster, London to Mum Patricia née Burke (owner of a business specialising in relocation services) and Dad Richard Redmayne (a business person in corporate finance), Eddie had a privileged start to life that saw him attend Colet Court, then Eton College, where he was in the same year as Prince William.

    Dear Diary: 2 Years, The Greek & Rhododendrons

    Dear Diary: 2 Years, The Greek & Rhododendrons

    Liam and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Tuesday, so that was a pretty amazing start to the week! I’m so incredibly lucky to be able to count someone as amazing as him as my best friend and partner in crime, and the last 2 years has absolutely flown by. We are polar opposites in pretty much every aspect of our lives and personalities, but the things that count match up; our humour, morals and family values all align, and that’s a few of the most important things to me.
