Weekly Catchup // 20 April

Wohoo!! I've finally got my head on straight and managed to take a few snaps to share with you guys!!! I'm currently on holidays visiting my little old Tassie and as much as i've missed the amazing coffee and gorgeous scenery, I'm ready to go back to Sydney. The first few days after I arrived home the weather was miserable; cold, wet and awful, just as it always was! But with that came cosy nights lounging around with a good book,  endless arguments over monopoly and lots of chai tea, which really is my idea of a perfect holiday, I fell back in love with my old home town.

My one saturday night was spent with a trio of scrubs and the latest vogue, my skin was silky smooth afterwards and my mind full of best-of-the-best skincare, makeup and fashion! Also copious amounts of tea; I was silly enough to move away from tassie without stocking up on all my favourite locally made tea mixes. So my suitcase now contains a rather large bag of Indian Chai, Vanilla Chai, Lotus Chai {Can you tell I like chai?!?} an amazing english breakfast and a french earl grey! Seriously, I think I need to go to tea-aholics anonymous. 

We took a visit to the quaint little of Oatlands, a town full of heritage, sandstone buildings and gorgeous gardens! They are world know for milling their own flour and it's hard to miss the huge flour mill that you can see from every direction. I fell in love with one garden we visited, inspired by villages in France Le Jardin was created and is full of highly perfumed lavender, lush olive trees and cobbled paths, I swooned immediately and was reluctant to leave! 

My first stop after getting straight off that plane was a trip to one of my favourite little coffee shops, I had definitely been spoilt with the choice of coffee over the years and have been struggling to find a good cup of coffee around my new town so I was desperate for a familiar blend. It didn't disappoint and got me through the next few hours without the bleary post-flight eyes!

More Lavender gardens! I went into crazy tourist mode, the angles I was getting phew-you'd think I was a yoga master or something ha! 

Just a little reminder to myself- tassie is freezing! I'm a terrible packer and seriously under packed on the jumper/coat front. But on the plus side it was a good excuse to go shopping- I fell in love with this babushka doll jumper from asos, it's not to thick so perfect for lounging around the house in. But with the leaves falling around me {Literally- this stunning red leaf fell on me while I was having my morning coffee!) I figure a few new jumpers were mandatory; and by a few I mean i've had to purchase an additional 15 kilos baggage to get home! 

Alrighty- that was my week summed up! I hope yours was as lovely as mine, possibly not as cold but memorable none the less.

lots of love,
