HAPPY Australia Day! Yipppeeeeee!
So another year has gone by, and DESPITE the rainiest crappiest summer in 50 years (INCLUDING the summer i choose to host an outdoor wedding!) Australia… I still love you more than ever. Your golden shores, your endless horizons, your happy relaxed people, (your terrible service, your sticky bizarre weather-changes) and your wondrous perspective on what’s important in life. A home that I can be passionate about & proud of. :)
I know I know it’s all a bit vomitational all this patriotism but I can never hold it in on Australia Day, it brings it out of me! How magical it is to be in a safe and friendly place :)
Confession: I got VERY excited (okay embarrassingly nerdily excited) when for Twinings brought out an ‘Australian Afternoon Tea’ STOP IT! Of course I bought it and enjoyed it thoroughly :) I think it should become part of their permanent collection… we could drink it if homesick or in need of a bit of aussie comfort with our vegemite - lol
To overseas friends, DO come by and pay us a visit :) and to locals, hello neighbors :)
Usually I take a whole batch of photos to share with you guys; but, I’m afraid, as the camera is in hospital, you will have to imagine the vast cruise ship with a 5-story long Australian flag cast along it… the little happy bobbing boats covered in multicoloured bunting, flapping in the breeze, the flags painted on happy cheeks and the insane random bursts of rain throughout the day (the weather has lost it! I swear ;)
happy days though :)
thea.
