swings and roundabouts.....

What a lovely day we had yesterday.
Up early off to the market and a random improvised detour later to the Collingwood Childrens Farm and Abbotsford Convent.

A chance meeting with the nicest pattern maker bag hat expert in the world Nikki.

A gourmet lunch with the goats lots of natural learning time at the farm and the market which had more than a few parallels!
Not least of which entailed stealthily following the camera crews filming the new season of Masterchef.
The children inserting themselves stealthily into shot at every opportunity.

Quite the sport and quite the day, rounded out by a evening in the veggie garden singing to newly born beans and serenading the baby zucchinis.

Idyllic, certainly.

Perfect, most definitely.

Rewind 24 hours earlier ; a haze of snot, vomit, wet beds, preteen tantrums and grumpy husbands.


....ahh life you never know what a day will bring:)

love fi xoxo

There's not much a lovely pair of red mary-janes can't 'fix'.
Glad you had a good day.
