Going to bookshops is one of my favourite things to do. I am sure no-one is surprised by this. Last week I wandered into Dymocks and was immediately drawn to one of the end shelves. The book displayed on the top shelf and the accompanying signage was covered in cherry blossom. Cherry blossom is another … Continue reading At the Foot of the Cherry Tree

On every trip to Japan @maskedman01 and I intend to visit Kawai Kanjiro’s home. It is literally around the corner from where we stay, less than five minutes walk. Some of my dolls, for context ❤️ Did you know I’m a collector? I have several serious collections. One is Blythe Dolls. We found our dream house in Tokyo. Sadly it’s in a museum, but is perfectly furnished and just out style 😜 @maskedman01 #tatemonoentokyo #edotokyooutdoormuseum #tokyo #japanmidcentury #japandi Nine years ago, Stu and I bought a house. It became the home we blended our families together in, and in which we had many great times. We finally sold our Ferny Creek house to a lovely local family who are excited to be custodians of the forest ❤️ As a fellow ADHDer I completely understand how this happened, but it made me laugh when I got home @sallyhepworth and realised you started signing my book today, but only wrote my name and not yours 🤣🤣🤣
