Phot taken on my superheadz camera in Stanley last Easter

I've decided to start blogging again.

It's hard to know where to begin. Much has changed since my last post almost a year and a half ago. I live in Melbourne now, I work full time, I've lost my creative writer's voice to the world of statistics, qualitative analysis and policy recommendations. There is a double space after every full stop. I can't find my camera cord.

But much has stayed the same. I still live with a beautiful man. I still garden and bake and craft, and go on weekend adventures. I also occasionally eat at hip Melbourne restaurants, discover hidden shops, and walk through beautiful Victorian-era parks. Camera cord discovery pending, I think I have some valuable things to share. And to maintain my resolve, I've even planned some of my future posts. They may include:

• home-made flavoured teas
• a guide to my favourite farmers markets
• fabric dyeing
• bushwalking in the Dandenongs
• my summer vegetable garden plans
  
• a gastronomical guide to full-time work
• my all time favourite cookbooks
  

I'm really hoping that re-opening this space to document my creative adventures might lead to a few more finished projects, a broadening of my experience of this fine city, wilder experimentation in the kitchen. More photographs taken, a life better documented. It's easy to let work (both vocational and domestic) get in the way of life, and I hope that this blog gives me a chance to slow down, to create rather than consume, and spread a little virtual rose scent through the interwebs.
