Mike Rigoll Painting







We had a very talented artist friend Mike Rigoll create for us a beautiful painting of where we always go swimming in the summer. It's of North Cottesloe and Cottesloe Beach, and has amazing detail of swimmers, boats, cars, cyclists and cafes, everything that makes Cottesloe such a relaxed and vibrant place to be. More of Mike's beautiful work including illustration can be seen on his website by clicking on the link below. Thanks so much Mike we love it! x

My new ride Pista Via Brera







For quite some time now I have been taking different styled bikes for a test ride trying to find one that would be right for me. When I walked into a cycle shop and spotted this one, I was instantly in love! This Pista Via Brera by Bianchi is so beautiful to ride it almost seems effortless. I was a bit nervous about having my feet in the cages but quickly found it wasn't going to be a problem...(it hasn't yet anyway!)

Twinkle Toes

Bought Mia a new pair of sandals as her other ones looked more like a ducks beak as the sole was coming away. Wish they had a pair in my size!

Home Sweet Home



The first roses of Spring from our garden...

Featured Artist } Michael Zavros





When I first saw the work of Michael Zavros I couldn't quite believe the that his paintings weren't photos. Now I'm not a "horsey person" by any means, in fact I'm a little scared of them after several attempts to ride them were completely unsuccessful, but the beauty and grace of these paintings take my breath away. From top:
