animal and mineral (no vegetables)

this was last saturday when ellie and i trooped many miles through the snow (yes, actually) just to get to the natural history museum.

i had no concept of how beautiful the building is.

i miss rosie!

big paws!!!

and yes, i'm still freaking out about spirals and circles.

family resemblance

primates

yep, that about sums it up.

(more natural history stuff coming up.)

just for me.

animals in the wild

kookaburra (in our backyard)

sham, jungle cat (in the magnolias).

monty the python. only a baby and now missing, presumed dead.

and a very determined frog, one of a family living in mum and dad's bathroom down south. i had to catch him, twice. did i mention i want to grow up to be david attenborough? 

christmas!!

glorious redgate beach, where everyone had the same thought as us.

maman et papa.

it's like the biggest joke. places like this aren't meant to exist in reality.

pretty accurate, huh. prawns cooked with tomato, olive and pernod (entree).

and then a selection of salads from ottolenghi cookbook (mum and dad had turkey too). i might just add that it was only the three of us, we were eating leftovers forever.

pud! cooked by my aunt before she went off to cambodia (?) and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

i would've stayed

now that i'm back from margaret river i can finally share the rest of my photos.

enjoying the house, the bush, the quiet...

and the exquisite seafood.
