Just a few pictures to slowly ease myself back into blogging now I have 6 weeks off from teaching!

My husband and I on his 32nd birthday at the delicious Garfish, Manly.

The wood-roasted seafood platter - amazing! The Bellini's at Garfish are the perfect summer drink while you are waiting.

My Marmee and her Beau, who took all the amazing photos at our wedding and who is never seen without the camera strap over his left shoulder.

A dinner I made at home - fondue.

Myself, my Grandmother and Aunt on the afternoon of the High Tea for my Hen's. I am wearing my favourite dress that I got from the 50s Fair in 2009.

The movie that Buck's Fizz is paired with Top Hat (1935) and can be found on page 76 of Hollywood Cocktails (Bounty Books)
