Posted on March 19, 2014 by Bec

Calm

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Bec

I’m back at the beach, just for one night for work. It’s been just two weekends since I was last here and already everything is different. I have Twilight Beach all to myself this morning. It’s calm. No technicolor beach … Continue reading →

Posted on March 12, 2014 by Bec

Farewelling Summer

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Bec

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Bec

Last weekend I attended not one, but two, parental parties. The first was my Dad’s 60th. Before everyone arrived we tried to get some nice family shots and actually managed a couple with all eyes open and no mouths in … Continue reading →

I need to address something…

Posted on February 26, 2014 by Bec

Gazi with the girls

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Bec

This was us back in 2006: Noa, Claire, Tarn and I. This photo was taken at the end of our final year of high school at the Valedictory Dinner. I want to say that we were fresh faced 18-year-olds, naive … Continue reading →
