Simple pleasures of ordinary days

...some pretties for the balcony
...from the markets, the creamiest yogurt to pass my lips
...we waited for dada at the bottom of the road to greet him on his first day back at work after holidays
...peepo
...my favourite sculpture in town
...box city: oh to be a child again
...golden tiles
...this would be my last supper: cheese and bean papusa with a mountain of chilli sauce
...we took the Little One for a morning out in town; no trip to the city would be complete without a ride on the carousel (her first)...
...and, she couldn't get enough. And I couldn't get enough of her not getting enough. A lovely memory.
...an outtake from the 52 project
...Happy 100 Canberra. Gosh you look good
...there's that dress up bag again
...but yesterday it was all about the wand

Joining Em and creating a collection of weekly images, recording simple pleasures of ordinary days.

Canberra: The Oaks Brasserie and English Garden

Freshly baked date scones, dappled light from a cluster of birch trees, creamy coffees, creaky floorboards inside the 1920s cottage gallery, a white picket fence, sheltered courtyard garden tables (at a distance of more than 2 or 3 arm spans - love!),  a skip and a jump to a heritage nursery, an enchanted woodland with a soft leafy carpet for endless games of make believe, bird calls and waddling ducks.

On magically sunny days this is where we love to be.

Do you plan to visit Canberra during the Centenary? I thought I might pull together a few posts over the next couple of months with some family-friendly places around town that we often explore. I don't know about you, but I always love to travel with a few local recommendations up my sleeve...
