a little bit country…

December 20, 2022

Travel, and road trips in particular for the G.O. and me, serve several purposes and different places feed different aspects of our psyche. Without having an exact itinerary in mind when we set off, recently we returned from a three-week, 2000+ kilometre road trip that answered the call of landscapes further afield. While the G.O. … More a little bit country…

Inspired by @our_river_cottage gift to me of a tub of "bum" cherry tomatoes... #lasagnetwoways If you thought these pics are indicative of the traditional Aussie barbeque gender divide, you'd be wrong. Top photo is a get-together of bloggers and/or Instagrammers from FNQ, Victoria and locally. In the pic below are their other halves who thankfully have mutual 🏍 interests and equally non-stop conversation. Baking brings out my #partyanimal 🥳 Just gotta live with it... sometimes #eatingfortheinsta is delicious and #frugalandfabulous 💸  but #notpretty 🙄

After a decade of living in tiny apartments in the inner-city of Sydney, Australia with my husband referred to in my posts as the Gorgeous One (G.O.) while I worked in corporate-legal and the G.O. in civil earthworks we relocated 500 kilometres north in December 2015 to our home in the Nambucca Valley, NSW to follow our dream of living simply and creatively. In 2016 we did the great Australian road trip in our ute towing an old pop top caravan then settled in to applying our #LiveSimpleHomeMadeGrownLocalCreativeBetter philosophy to our lives and 1930’s house & garden. For the first few years I was a student: something I had long dreamed of. These days I’m one half of Sunshine Cottage Urban Permaculture, a member of Permaculture Australia, a volunteer, and part of a local community resilience network. I continue to learn, apply and share my experience in social media, permaculture, design and downshifting. From time to time, I write about day-to-day life, past & present, people & places, and take photographs with my smart phone for my blog and social media accounts @daleleelife101.
