The Da Vinci Code; Earl Grey and Lemon Scones
Image
Seated on the divan beside Langdon, Sophie drank her tea and ate a scone, feeling the welcome effects of caffeine and food. Sir Leigh Teabing was beaming as he awkwardly paced before the open fire, his leg braces clicking on the stone hearth. -The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown Just... Continue reading

Warrior Dash @ Northam Army Training Camp, May 18 2013

I had originally planned to don us in duck costumes, specifically Huey, Dewey and Louie. I even did what I never do, and started making the costumes well in advance. However, night before the run and I couldn't for the life of me get the heads done. Which, was probably... Continue reading

Hong Kong in 55 Hours; The first 24 hours
Image
The upside of being tiny is that you curl up well, like a cat, on most seats. Which particularly came in handy when I found myself catching some shut eye on a Thursday night Cathay Pacific flight bound direct for Hong Kong. A few hours of catching zzz's, and I... Continue reading

Yanchep to Esperance via Wave Rock-March 24th 2013
Image
That's 9 hours of driving right there. Nine. long. hours. 776 kms. We passed only 8 towns. When I say towns, some of these were just gas stations. Maybe another building or two. If you were in the US, that would probably be like driving from California, straight through Arizona.... Continue reading

Skydiving
Image
Skydiving was liking falling towards a surrealist art piece created by the patterns of the land. You suddenly see another side to Australia, that, if you haven't been in awe before, you will be. You'd think plunging down to earth would feel just like that. Plunging. You are, after all,... Continue reading

The Great Gatsby; Fried Chicken

Crossing the porch where we had dined that June night three months before, I came to a small rectangle of light which I guessed was the pantry window. The blind was drawn, but I found a rift at the sill. Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the... Continue reading

I agree Cheryl, wild ones are best! I remember as a kid, our next door neighbour had a full wall length of blackberry shrubs. Come summer, we'd pick and eat the berries with their kids. We'd come home stuffed full, with stained clothing, but no berries leftover for jam making. I'd like to think I'd have a bit more restraint as an adult, but I doubt it!
