Baby Steps

Well I'm back from the Grace Kelly road trip, and boy did I enjoy the trip. It was really interesting to see the wide (flat) world past the Great Divide and get some real country time up my sleeve. I am going to do a longer post on the trip but this little gem is a taster, the picture does not do it justice, but it is a pair of baby bootees in leopard print!

I may be out of the baby wear loop at the moment but I can appreciate what the well dressed baby girl should be wearing this winter and this one to me is a real winner!

This little gem was on display in a store in Griffith and my significant other had to hold me back from running in and buying them for a future granddaughter (hey it's never too early to start a killer wardrobe). 

I must say they never had such stylish baby clothes when my kids were young, so what do you  think, what age is acceptable for leopard print??????

Exhumed!

Guess What,   I got to be rock chick for a night recently! Given my age, that is a bit of a blast from the past, but at Exhumed! I was one of the young ones.

For those of you unlucky enough not to know what I have talking about, have a look here and then come back and read of my adventure at Exhumed!

The moment I heard James Valentine talk about this on the radio I said to my Significant Other "We will be there, oh yes we shall" and I moved hell and high water to make sure we were there!

Big decisions had to be made, like what footwear?

Would we need ear plugs?

A bit of rock chick hair magic!

Excitement builds as we arrive at
Rooty Hill

The Bands 

Just like a real rock concert, security and wrist band!

Maybe a concession to the age of the audience? Seating for all

Prime seating, just behind the Judges:

L-R Barry Divola, Wendy Matthews, Tommy
Dean

We had a absolutely wonderful time, I was totally amazed by the quality of the music that was played that night, just ordinary people who loved making and playing music together. 


I want to thank ABC 702 for putting it on, and I am eagerly waiting for next year, I even kept my wrist band!

Road Trip

This picture is a clue to something, can you guess?
There are a lot of things in the photo that relate to me


1. I am blonde
2. I am a princess (of sorts)
3. I love to drive fast cars
4. I have a convertible
5. My significant other is as lovely as Cary Grant


Give up?


We are going on a road trip to Bendigo to see the Grace Kelly exhibition! see here for more info


I have always loved Grace Kelly and managed to see an exhibition of her memorabilia a few years back at the Victoria and Albert in London. I heard the curator of this exhibition talking about how she managed to convince the family to lend more to the exhibition, hence me driving fast to take a look.


So I am going to channel my inner Grace Kelly for a few days doing a road trip through south west
NSW and Victoria. So strap yourself in, and join me, I promise there will be good food and wine on the way and lots of interesting things to see on the way.


First stop tomorrow: Griffith.
See you tomorrow!
