Friday far away: Lizard Island

Being inundated with work at present means that I'm dreaming about lolling about on daybeds in tropical environs with a good book in hand and no internet. Lizard Island in Queensland fits the bill perfectly - I could look out onto the deep blue sea all day long.  A girl's gotta dream!

Tank tops

My local fish & chip shop looks nothing like Tank Fish and Chippery in Lygon Street, Carlton. It's pretty swish. Mind you that's probably a good thing for my waist line because if it did I think I'd eat fish and chips a lot more often. Totally loving the blue and white tiles and great light fittings.

Monday shop post: Red Hill House

I haven't done a Monday Shop Post in a long, long time...I must get back into the habit, but in all honesty, shopping is not on my radar much at the moment. Just trying to get through a backlog of work.

Whenever I make the trip down to Main Ridge on the Mornington Peninsula to visit my friend Harry I try to find the time to drop in to Red Hill House in Red Hill (of course) - although it's only open on weekends and it's not situated in a row of shops but rather it's right next to the farm equipment and produce yard! But it's a lovely little shop, with an ever-changing array of goods so it's usually worth making a pitstop.  Here's a taste of what's in store at Red Hill House:
