Instagram post 17867582662502862 They say a Sunday well spent brings a week of content so mine will mainly be spent reading, brunching and coastal-walking ahead of a quick getaway to beautiful Byron Bay tomorrow 💞⠀ ⠀ Happy Sunday friends. What are you reading this weekend?
Instagram post 18108110119009591 With trips to Indonesia, Ibiza, London, LA + Lake Atitlan now nothing but a distant memory, I’m already planning some literary inspired trips for next year. Top of the list is New York, Hay on Wye + Jaipur for its world-famous literary festival (where I’m hoping to meet @theguywiththebook IRL after many months of chatting about books on Instagram).⠀ ⠀ Where’s top of your travel bucket list for 2020? 📷 @axelandash
Instagram post 17894336320393400 Celebrating my return to the ‘gram after a three-week hiatus with a pic of one of the best projects I’ve worked on of late with the wonderful team that is @lisamessenger and @collectivehub.⠀ ⠀ A pocket-sized dose of inspiring quotes, musings and mantras, this picture perfect book was an absolute dream to work on, and is the perfect thing to wind down the day with after a an almost full afternoon’s work of emails and admin 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣😭⠀ ⠀ What are you reading this week?
Instagram post 17927272900316971 Reminiscing on a picture perfect stay @no131cheltenham on my penultimate day in the UK before I set sail for Bondi.⠀ ⠀ I very rarely used to leave London when I was living there (mainly because I was knee deep in a vat of Prosecco every weekend 🥂🤪) but now whenever I’m back on British soil I love exploring pretty cities and spa towns that I’ve never been to before. ⠀ ⠀ Cheltenham is definitely up there with my favourite places in the UK but would love any recommendations for where else to add to my ever-growing travel bucket list 💞🙏🏼
Instagram post 17843087023651721 A picture perfect morning in the prettiest of hotel bedrooms @no131cheltenham with a pile of @penguinclassics to choose from.⠀ ⠀ Which would you read first?⠀ ⠀ Vanity Fair⠀ The Tenant of Wildfell Hall⠀ A Tale of Two Cities⠀ Lord of the Flies⠀ Mary Barton ⠀ ⠀ Let me know below 😊🤓
Instagram post 17873179630446206 #ad Despite unrelenting jet-lag, looming deadlines and a to-do list the size of my arm, this is where you’ll find me for the foreseeable future: with my nose between the pages of Here to Stay by Mark Edwards accompanied by copious cups of coffee.⠀ ⠀ A thrilling read full of twists and turns, it’s utterly unputdownable and a must-read for anyone with a penchant for a page turner. ⠀ ⠀ What are you reading this week?⠀ ⠀ #currentlyreading #amreading @amazonpublishing
Instagram post 18050516092196440 Happy four year Australian anniversary to me 💞🙏🏼 Four years ago today I landed on Australian soil with a missing suitcase, a heart full of hope and nervous anticipation for the future. Nothing could have prepared me for what would unfold over the next four years; much has been joyful, much has been sad, and it turns out that one of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt from living abroad is that happiness and grief can - and do - often co-exist. Today, I celebrated four years away from home with a sunrise coastal walk, an afternoon on the beach with @thisisdavidwade, and an evening event at @gertrudeandalice: my home away from home and my very favourite place in Sydney. Bondi, life has not always been easy making you my home, but it is always, unequivocally and utterly worth it. You truly are my one great love 💞 📷 @the.light.theory
