Camping

Singita Boulders - Adjacent to Kruger National Park Africa

I think I could spend a bit of time at this beautiful resort, it looks so peaceful and romantic!

Black and White

I came across this image whilst looking for inspiration for my interior design assignment.   I just love Black and White stripes and the wooden spools, desk, chair and bottle look fabulous.

I have been studying since 9.30 this morning and feeling a little brain dead.  I have soooo much homework to do and just not enough time.  My poor family are quite bored today,  I have not spent anytime with them.  Perhaps I will pack up and go to the park for a little play!  We could all do with some fresh air.

Enjoy the week ahead!

Are you ready for the count down??

Control centre ready for launch sequence.

Look at all the complicated Lego computer screens.

BLAST OFF!!

The gorgeous folks at One Green Bean & Lego sent my 4 lucky children the complete range of the latest Lego City NASA Space to test drive . . . 4 boxes of rockets, launch pads, trucks, moon buggies & astronauts. Oh boy have they been having fun, playing together, helping each other build & set up all sorts of space launches, landings on the moon, excellent. The boy even follows the instructions - yes, I am even creating a future man who actually reads instructions, my gift to the world!!

My mother used to find me asleep in a pool of Lego on my bed - our boy sleeps with Lego too. He has ALL my childhood Lego which my parents so lovingly kept, waiting for the day i had children (which was the 2 big years between me leaving home to get married & having our first child in my early 20s). They still have my Uni text books, ha!! The children love all the Lego they inherited, from my brothers' 1960s truck pieces to my 1980s Fabuland Lego animals.
This full set is fantastic, with so many parts to play in the space missions. Your children will be launched into outer space & beyond (if they're into black holes, time warps & all that geeky space galaxy stuff).

It's a WHOLE lot of Lego to win . . .

boxes & boxes . .

& hours of fun with your imagination.

Want to win one of two sets, valued at $279.96 each?? Just follow this blog & tell me what Lego means to you, who will be the playing with this amazing prize?? Extra entries per Blog/ Twitter/ FB mention of this giveaway too.

Good luck everyone, winners drawn Sunday 29th May at 9p.m. Love Posie

The beautiful Adele

As I came downstairs this morning my son was watching the Brit Awards and this song was playing by an artist I have never heard of, I could not believe her voice, I went into the lounge room, sat down and asked Sam to rewind it (we have Foxtel, so you can do this) I could not believe the strength of this gorgeous womans' voice.  I actually sat and cried.  I now have bought her album.  Mia is learning to sing maybe one day she can sing as beautifully!

 I hope you enjoy Adele's song "Someone Like You" as much as I did.

ENJOY!

Entrance

One of my beautiful friends is going to a build a home in Victoria, she is gathering ideas and sent me this picture of  this gorgeous entrance.  I think the windows just sets off the door.  A beautiful light and sunny spot.  She did say she may need to put in blinds because if she was in the house by herself she would feel a little vunerable.  I completely understand her thoughts.  

I have an assignment I have to start today, we are learning to draw plans, oh my goodness there is so much to learn and understand, I thought I was o.k. at reading plans but I am feeling a little confused!

Enjoy your weekend!

Kelly Hoppen

I bought this book as a Mother's Day present for myself, I have only read to page 14 but can't wait to sit down with a cup of tea and just keep reading.

I graduated last Friday from my Interior Decoration Course and today I am starting the advanced course in Interiors and Design.  Wish me luck, I think I will need it.  I have been advised I need to study at least 15 to 20 hours per week.  This will be challenging as I work 3 days a week.  I know I can do it, I will have to be completely organised.

Enjoy your day!

Chrysthanemum's

Mum's favourite flower was White Chrysanthemum's

I have posted this picture before, it is my favourite photo which was taken on Mother's Day about 5 years ago.  I remember this day so fondly;  we had such a wonderful day.  Mum always loved coming to our home for lunch, being with her Grand children and daughters just made her day.

For those of you who will see there Mum's on Sunday have a splendid day and treasure the moment!  I look forward to waking up and having a cup of tea and a magazine brought to me! Oh and watching my son play football.

A quote which I believe is so true!

  " Mother's hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever." (Unknown Author)

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mother's Day!



History

BEAUTIFUL LIMESTONE FOUNTAINS MADE TO ORDER AND IMPORTED
FROM FRANCE BY THE COUNTRY TRADER -  THIS FOUNTAIN - REF F069

I found this picture from the Country Trader Website.  It's not the fountain that took my interest as lovely as it is, but the beautiful rustic building.  Imagine the stories behind this building. Looking at it closely it maybe a Church.

Enjoy your day!

We have so many challenges in life that I do believe each challenge whatever it maybe makes us grow and become stronger within.
