I have been going through old photos in iPhoto and have realized just how much I have not blogged about. Over summer we decided to take a day trip to the Hamptons. The main aim was to check out Ina Garten’s house, do some sightseeing and see what the fuss was all about. For brunch…

Sunday in Melbourne
We had originally planned to head up to Ballarat on Sunday to go to Sovereign Hill and hopefully catch up with Steph. But Bill needed a decent rest day having only just got over his jetlag and we were all somewhat weary after our fleeting visit to Tasmania.. So instead, mum and I saw this…
Back in Melbourne and to the G! GO PIES!
Flying back from Hobart, we got home at around 4pm. I had a couple of hours to relax before getting in my footy clothes and heading to the G for Collingwood Vs Hawthorn. To say I was jumping out of my skin would be an understatement. I left Bill at home with mum and dad…
Hobart
If you remember back, we didn’t arrive into Hobart until late Friday night. We were staying on a rural property so we had no idea what the surrounds even looked like. On Saturday morning we awoke to the most amazing sight – we were surrounded by beautiful farmland on a beautiful homestead and it was…
Getting really down under!
I have decided to get back to our Australian trip blog posts because otherwise it will be Christmas before I get them done. We last left the trip in Launceston after a very very full day flying from Melbourne and seeing the sights. We woke up and left Ashton Gate early in the morning for…
Memorial Day – #blogeverydayofjune
The weekend was huge and we are exhausted – which I’m not sure how you are supposed to feel after a long weekend?! But anyway – it was fabulous. Bill turned 40. Happy Birthday to you gorgeous! Memorial Day is beautiful here – and even moreso upstate where people really know how to show their…
Launceston
On Thursday we were at the airport at 7am to head over to Tasmania. Our plane landed safely at Launceston and we got in our hire car (which was way too small for what we hired… boo Europcar!) and we headed into the Launceston town centre. As we had some time to spare we walked…
Puffing Billy and dinner with my gals
On Wednesday morning we got up early to get to Nadine’s as we had a big day out at Puffing Billy! James had company in the back seat with Bill beside him so he managed to get this cute photo! We boarded Puffing Billy and did the whole trip from Belgrave to Emerald where Jill…
Trams, Trains, Jail, Parliament and a trip to the dentist.
On Tuesday morning after the clean up we were up early to get the train into the city for our first touristy day. We did my old usual routine for going to the station and Bill got to finally experience Melbourne’s public transport system. He has had to put up with my complaints about it…
Monday 12 April AP (After Party)
Getting back to the Australia holiday posts – Monday came about very slowly and we woke up thinking “Wow… did that party really happen?” and with that it was time to get down to cleaning. Wow. One minute I am swanning around New York and the next I am in my PJ’s down in the…
