I’m back in Lennox Head this week visiting my lovely in-laws in their fantastic new house and am very excited to try all the new restaurants that have sprung up.

But first The Bear and I had breakfast at an oldie, but a goodie, the Point Cafe. This is where the locals go to get excellent value for money and speedy, friendly service. It wasn’t too busy this morning and we got a great spot outside in the sun; heaven after our chilly time in Milton Keynes and we joyfully soaked up the rays like a pair of lounging lizards.

Mr Jerk is just off Oxford Street and famous for it’s delicious Jerk chicken, rice and peas and my absolute favourite fried plantain. [Read more →]

Ahhh, home sweet home. Sydney, darling, I’ve missed you so much!

The 20 hour flight home from the UK was surprisingly pleasant, but that’s not the only surprise I’ve had today. I just found out that I’ve entered the list for the Top 100 Australian Women Bloggers - hurray for me! [Read more →]
