My friend and fellow blogger Canna recently inspired me with her post, Simple Pleasures. It seems we spend so much time worrying about the 'stuff' in our lives that we forget to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. So here are some of the simple things in my life that I'm most grateful for - walks in the park with Nelly, the Wonder Dog, macarons from Laduree (or Adriano Zumbo in Oz), reading ferociously through a new book, cups of coffee quietly at home or shared with friends, Mum's pavlova and swimming in one of Sydney's ocean or harbour beaches (we are so spoiled for choice in this glorious city!).

Nelly

This is my first baby, Nelly the Wonder Dog. She loves to chase tennis balls, swim in the ocean and roll around in the mud. She's a little bit bigger than she was when I took this photo 6 months ago! She lives with my husband Harry and I and has taught us a lot about looking after someone/something else - she has also taught us that when you welcome a puppy into your home, you have to be prepared for them to make a huge mess, demand a lot of your love and attention and destroy things that you love and value!! Fortunately for her, we love her more and more each day and now can't imagine our lives without her!
