I love the delicate flowers of the Hydrangea. The white ones would have to be my favourite. Lots of little flowers that make up the one big bloom. Life is kind of like a Hydrangea bloom, lots of small and intricate parts that make up the one big bloom that life is. When not watered and shown enough love we tend to wilt. We want to be admired, cut and put in a vase to be on display. You may find that people who don't care or perhaps are selfish and jealous prune you back to your bare bones, cut every last green leaf away. The smart gardner knows that beautiful Hydrangea with all her delicate petals will grow back big and strong and into a bigger and more beautiful plant than before.

The prettiest plant will always have big beautiful blooms, making everyone smile.

Back In The Nest

So after a life changing moment, with a split decision it was decided I had to move back into the family home.

After my Sister had recently returned after a not so successful move to Sydney, it was once again a full house. Much to Dads delight (note the sarcasm)
I had a sofa, lots of big antique cupboards, a big heavy upholstered bed, dining table etc etc...
My lovely Aunty said I could put the sofa, dining table, coffee table and most of the huge furniture into her massive house! And doesn't it look great!I am now living in the formal dining room and lounge with boxes surrounding me. Yes it is slightly depressing, but I am trying to make this my own space, while including all of the existing furniture into it.
A girl can only dream of one day having a nice bedroom again!!!

Merry Christmas

I would like to wish you and your most cherished ones a very merry Christmas. Remember those that are not as lucky as we are, and who have nothing or no one on this joyous day.

Be thankful for the gorgeous gifts we are lucky enough to receive and the love from family and friends.

This year after all the heartache I have been through, I am so lucky to have my family who rescued me and saved me and give me the love I need right now.

Merry Christmas all!

A weekend away

It was a great weekend away. After lots of personal dramas these last few months - or more likely this past year mum and dad whisked me away from everything and took me to a beautiful lakeside resort.
The clear air and beautiful scenery were enough to make me forget about everything, plus the no Internet or phones was a huge relief. I didn't realize how much I relied on these things but 4 days away with nothing can do you the world if good.
