Pinkbirdie waiting to fly….

Sipping New Zealand bubbly in the departure lounge is quite lovely as I wait to board my Virgin Atlantic flight to London via Hong Kong. I hope the ‘upper’ class experience is good and I get some sleep in the special little pods!! Its been somewhat emotionally overwhelming…goodbyes, tears, excitement, fears…It’s all going to be absolutely amazing though, through the highs and lows of travelling and being away from home.

School starts without me…

Melville High School starts the 2013 school year today without me and my Year 12 2012 Society and Culture class. I wonder what adventures and challenges lie ahead for all of us this year..gap years, travel, work, university!?! I will be thinking of all the wonderful staff and especially the Social Science Faculty…Matt, Dave, Sasha, Allyson, Madeline and Liz.

Prawns, cake and finger puppets!

Every Morning…

My January summer holiday ritual has been coffee at Bittersweet cafe in Lighthouse Beach. Consistently very good!!IMG_0085 IMG_0086 IMG_0087 ImageImage

Always in search of a truly great coffee…preferably a double shot flat white extra hot! The Milk Bar in Port Macquarie is good!!ImageImage.
