moments


Amidst all the happenings of late we have been planning a trip to Penang, Malaysia, with my mum and dad to visit my uncle who is unwell. With only a few days til we leave I feel like I am absolutely unprepared for this trip, I have yet to organise insurance, we have just booked accommodation, bags are nowhere near being packed and our days remain full of photo shoots, celebrations and getting things in order. Luckily I rely very heavily on lists, lists about lists and sublists, as there is little clarity in this brain.
Here are a few images of the other goings on of late, a little easter egg hunt and the beautiful corners of Nicole's new home in Bangalow, oh she has such a wonderful eye.


You may or may not notice that there are no photos of Bluesfest, yes, I made the conscious decision to down the tools and just be, it was delightful. My most favourite and most enjoyed performance was The Lumineers, oh they were so much fun, really engaging, an absolute delight, other highlights included Paul Simon, The Bamboos, Bonnie Raitt, Mavis Staples and some of Wilco. It was really precious spending the whole day with five lovely friends, dancing til our feet ached, watching, laughing, chatting and eating more than our fair share of the Govinda's kofta balls.

  1. Jay I've been waiting to see if you were going to post about Bluesfest! We made a last minute decision to go down for the Monday and my was it worth it! Wasn't Paul Simon just break your heart open stuff! Wilco also rated very highly with me! I've been compiling a short post in my head to include Bluesfest and kept thinking I wonder if Jay took any photos (you take amazing band photos. I too made the decision to put the camera down (I did take about 4 on an iPhone) and just totally get in to the moment. Live music is the best, glad you were amongst it. Safe travels xx

  3. Thinking of you as you prepare for your trip...I too love a list and then that wonderful feeling once you sit on the plane, what's done is done, What's not can wait. I am yet to make it to bluesfest. Pete and I watched a great doco about Paul Simon last year would have loved to have seen him play. Funny but true story, I was once a Texas housewife (short version of the story I lived in Texas with an Aussie boyfriend who worked there) and I saw Bonnie Raitt sing at a rodeo. Who would've thought?! Two whole weeks without you here in blogland! Looking forward to the photos already xx
