Holiday snaps.

Holidays aren't the best time to move, as shopping & visiting friends & eating will always trump packing & cleaning & unpacking & organizing & cleaning some more. Even now clusters of untouched moving boxes remain scattered throughout our new place, taunting us with promises of drudgery. So I'll take a nod from the Driffield House cherub shown above and blissfully share holiday photos instead.

Mr & Mrs Bamford, Liz's lovely parents.
Christmas day brought a trip to the Dandenongs ...
... to visit the amazing new home of Emily & Michael in Sassafras.
Michael mans the heavy equipment for what was my first authentic Christmas bar-b in Australia.
Giant ferns act as sentries throughout the property.
Astounding views abound at Emily & Michael's 'Diffield House'.
I'd slow for it, if only I knew what it was?
