I mentioned my recent cafe hop around Brisbane and the sheer luck I had stumbling upon brand spanking new cafe, Two Trees in glorious West End, the heart of Brisbane's bohemia. The first day we saw it, the young guy yelled out to us that it was their grand opening the next day and we should come back then. So we did. We had a great coffee at Two Trees on their grand opening day. It's exactly what you would… Read more »
As I mentioned last week, my time in Brisbane is becoming synonymous with cafe hopping – what else do you do when catching up with friends? I am going to warn you, although I've tried to keep each recap brief, the quantity of cafe's visited has resulted in a pretty large post. If you live in Brisbane or ever spend time there, this could be pretty helpful though! My list is purely the order in which I drank the coffee… Read more »
It's inevitable, upon returning from a trip home or when family and friends visit me in Sydney, that I then spend the next few days (weeks, etc) with the Back From Brisbane Blues. I can't help it, my chest aches with recent memories of the special people in my life who live there that I get the chance to see when I go home. It's as if no time has passed and distance means nothing, a true testament to the… Read more »
I always struggle at blogging and taking photos when I'm in Brisbane because I spend so much time chatting and eating that I forget to capture the moment anywhere but in my brain. I've been here for a few days and have done a few bits and pieces.The time always goes so fast when I'm here, it's mental! I could bore you with the details but, let's face it, all you need to know is that there have been many… Read more »
I started writing this post in response to Rachel from In Spaces Between asking her readers what we're thankful for. I didn't even realise that today is, in fact, Thanksgiving in the USA – I just wanted to put out there what I'm thankful for but the coincidence seemed too convenient not to just roll with. – This weekend I jumped on a plane and flew home to Brisbane when I heard my grandpa was in a pretty serious condition… Read more »
I can't believe it's a week since I was home in Brisbane and I still haven't had the chance to even share anything that happened. Once again, I completely failed at taking photos of all the special people in my life – I'm still struggling with breaking that self conscious barrier of photographing everything. But at the same time I kind of feel like I can keep those memories to myself instead of feeling compelled to share them. All the… Read more »
While I was in Brisbane, Dad and I decided it would be the perfect time to check out the latest cafe hotspot in Brisbane – Dandelion and Driftwood. It was recently rewarded 'best cafe in Brisbane' over a number of our favourite coffee places and so we braved the terrible Sydney-like weather and dragged my mum along for brunch. Even though I could barely make out the place through the sheets of rain, I immediately knew that I was going… Read more »
Sorry for the lack of posting lately. It's been a BIG week and any down time has been filled with sleeping and hanging out with my mum and dad. Heaps to come but today it's back to Sydney…so it might have to wait until tomorrow! (source) Kx Tweet
You may or may not remember my 26 Things To Do Before I'm 27 list I did for my birthday this year (I'm not offended if you don't, I barely remember and I wrote it). But one of the things on it was to do a road trip and for some reason I thought driving to Brisbane would be the excellent opportunity to cross this off the list. I'm not going to say I was entirely wrong, because driving anywhere… Read more »
