I missed the last Photo Friday feature because I was away in Wellington, New Zealand.  Today I wanted to feature a few snaps I took on a recent visit to Hong Kong.  There are not enough words to cover what I

Photo Friday-time for a quick break!

August 5, 2010 Personal

These past few weeks have been hectic-but in a good way!  I find that it’s important to take a break sometimes-sit down, enjoy a “cuppa” and gather my thoughts!  Then head off and do it all again!  Enjoy the weekend everyone…see you next week with some travel stories.

I was meant to get out a recipe this week but travel commitments along with picking up  my new computer (and some very expensive “toys”…ahem!)  have held me back.  I really need to focus more on my time management!  Also, by the time this post reaches Australia it will be

Photo Friday and a Giveaway

July 2, 2010 Personal

I’m planning a new feature here on the blog called “Photo Friday”.  There’s a lot of stuff I photograph that doesn’t make it as blog posts for one reason or another.  It won’t be just food…although most probably it will be food focused.
