comfort

The cake was a Blackberry Shagg. (coconut buttercake with blackberry preserves, buttercream and moist coconut flakes) The tea a mild and milky Early Grey. The place was Beatrix, a stroll down uneventful Queensberry St and the closest I came to happiness on last weeks trip to Melbourne. These were my final 5 shots on a roll of Kodak Portra 160 I had been so kindly given by dear Elize. 

It was small, calm, simple and to the point....the point being really good cake.

with envy

  

Even on the most exhausting of days I often stop and realise, I really like my life. 

Being separated from your normal routine and environment causes you to stop a little more regularly than usual so you can imagine the deep contentment I felt as I lazily sat in a steam room on the 27th floor of a beautiful hotel (post gym & swim) imagining where I would let my feet lead me around the city and it's suburbs for the next couple of sunny days. 

From the first moment I stepped out of the lobby I noticed the abundance of green leaves on the trees, especially for Autumn (which we seem to be putting off) and I'm telling you, it did not stop following me! It is such a wonderful colour, my favourite in fact - and I think the universe must have known that.

wild

After 30 seconds my net browsing attention deficit disorder self was itching to close the tab not having time ('cause I'm like really busy and stuff) to cringe through another hipster forest gang bang.
Just as I went to scratch that itch a decent beat dropped buying another 30 seconds, then....BOOM!

Once Kat George has written about something I suddenly feel so ineloquent(?) so watch the video then head here to read about Melbourne sensation Kristina Miltiadous.
