lots of shopping! I have a list of the top things I am after. One of them being some more blue and white jars, preferably Ginger Jars, but something like these lovelies will do. As soon as we touch down I am off to Ikea (we don’t have one in Tassie…I know!) for some bits and pieces. Also on the agenda is visiting some of the most beautiful stores I regularly haunted when we lived here…there will be lots of photos.
Another item I will be looking out for is a black Bakelite phone. I know it is something I probably won’t find, but I will keep my eyes peeled as Mum is a fiend for spotting an elusive item..and always for a tremendous bargain.

Back a few years ago I had the opportunity to visit Sydney. What a beautiful place; I think I could live there! I had such a good time and did visit the zoo. Have a wonderful trip.
Oh my goodnes Ness, we had that bakelite phone when I was a child….shame that we didn’t keep it….if I find it in my Dads loft, I’ll send it to you.
Have a great time with your family and happy shopping. XXXX
