Happy Easter! Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday break, and that the good old Easter bunny found you! I have to admit that I am really struggle with the whole “can’t eat much” concept due to major food intolerances at this time of year.

Tucked away at the top of the city, is a lane named after one of our very own celebrities…Divinyl’s singer Chrissy Amphlett. Originally, this lane was called Corporation Lane 1639…in fact, in Melbourne, many minor laneways are given the default name “Corporation Lane” with an identifying number.

One thing I love about social media is that it brings the world closer. Being a keen photographer, my favourite platform is Instagram…I love the community feel, and you get to “meet” some fabulous people through their images.

My husband had never heard of a cairn terrier till I bought Bill home…but he was quickly converted, and they have […]
