Felix Felicis

This is how I envisaged our Sunday was going to go, wake up at a reasonable hour, knock up some breakfast tacos and head down in to the office to try and clear some of the backlog of work that we have building up, a productive yet fairly uneventful day. Here is what actually happened,…

Buddha’s Birthday

Another spectacular weekend full of action and adventure, it all started on Saturday morning, well actually it started on Friday night with one of the biggest rain storms south east Queensland has ever seen. Paige’s friend Dakota had come around hoping for a surf session in the morning and looking forward to a bake off…

Sunday Surf Session April 19 2015

This was the session that nearly didn’t happen, I had checked the surf cams the night before and found that it was forecasted to be windy and messy and had decided to give it a miss and have a bit of a sleep in. The kids’ pet rats on the other hand had other ideas,…

The Wipeout

On the way back we decided to stop at Coffs Harbour and spend the night, mainly because a couple of Christmases ago we stopped in at Coffs to grab…

Christmas Day 2014
