All in an afternoon

This sunny spring arvo I was tip-toeing around the kitchen at Mum & Dad's listening to the whimsical music of Pheonix Foundation while baking some yummy vegan jammy almond biscuits. A nicer conclusion to my rather dull assignment-filled day. To top off my afternoon tea, I made an English breakfast tea (topped up with oat milk later on). This gorgeous English rose teacup and saucer was a gift from my lovely English friend who knows me oh so well. Thanks Debbie, I finally got the guts to use my precious gift instead of just admiring it on my shelf!

Ode to Mum and Dad

Recently, during a quick stint back home during my uni holidays I came across some rather 80's looking photos of my parentals back in their hay day.

Unbeknown to Mum, I flogged them to take back down to Dunedin and display them on the rather bare walls of my bedroom in my new flat.

I have to say they are a pretty cute 80's couple!

This zipped number must have been Dad's favourite top at the time, even if it does clash!

Seedy eyes much?

Too cool for school with a ciggie and pinstripe jeans.

Rocking the mullet and denim overalls next to the little red mini.

My uncle and his flatmate, dad and mum: pointing to mum's belly
when they found out she was preggers with me.
Thinking mum has a baby face? She was the tender age of 19...

I have loved having young parents that are easy to relate to,
they were totally unselfish at their young ages raising me and my
younger brother. Can't believe that I would have a 1yr old
and a 4yr old if I was Mum right now!

Mum's 21st birthday - in between having me and my brother.
She looks a heck of a lot more mature than I did at 21...

Mum and Dad, I have to say I have so much respect for you!! You're both awesome, I couldn't have been born into a better family.

Love you xxx
