instagram grab: tasmania edition

it seems so long ago now, but i had a great summer break in my home state.

eating the most delicious quail at the taste festival in hobart.

amazing day, amazing people, amazing food.

oh and amazing wine.

i may be slightly biased but tasmania really does have the best produce.

dinner party photo with my darling, darling best friends.

lots of laughter and love.

our dinner parties are always memorable.

sunset on new years day.

spent in my favourite place – coles bay.

a wonderful way to start the new year.

dinner with brother no.2.

i just love this photo!

a definite highlight was a (slightly more than balmy) 40 degrees day spent at honeymoon bay snorkelling with brother no.3.

a crystal clear, cool sea to swim in and shade to read in, plus a spectacular view.

bliss.

holidays, family, friends – i miss you.

my weekend

on the weekend my best friend (musketeer number 1) got married!

i was so thrilled to be part of such a special and intimate occasion.

a double blessing to spend a few days at "home" with my friends and family.

colourful life

still my favourite bays

i spent an amazing, relaxing few days the past weekend in coles bay with my parents and littlest brother.

i went jogging on the beach, walking on the beach at sunset, hiking to wineglass bay, sitting on the beach... have i mentioned i love the beach?

it is a truly magical place.

the colours always capture me.

instant memories

just you and me

christine and i spent a WONDERFUL day together on saturday.

breakfast at blue.

surprising friends and relatives.

birthday present shopping.

walking in the rain at the gorge.

LOVED having just you and me time sisel.

only iphone pics cause my camera(s) are still sitting in my unpacked suitcase.

family weekend

i had a WONDERFUL weekend in tasmania.

the main reason was for this mini trip was my darling cousin trent's wedding.

which oddly enough i have no photos of.

(forgetting my camera and not charging my iphone doesn't help).

the mostly cold weather, hayfever, and lack of sleep were all so worth putting up with.

i got to play games with my nieces, go for a swanky lunch with my brother, drive through some beautiful countryside, catch up with most of my extended family, enjoy tasmanian pinot noir, hug best friends and laugh until my sides hurt.

(the last pic is my little cousin harper's accidentally amazing photo)
