Pressed tin ceilings/ ornate fire places

About to start my poetry workshops and I'm surrounded by old world charm.  After hectic weeks I've began to wind down and actually writing more of my next novel and gathering ideas!

Love the pressed tin roof of our terrace and wish the art deco fireplaces were still working!


Surprising ideas and moments as gifts are all around- while watching the sea at Rushcutters bay- all those yachts- I watched a shape like a small sting ray approach in the shallow green water and it was a penguin- it surfaced looked at me (I'm sure it said hello) and disappeared...

What a gift!

Jen, would love to see a photo of a real fire in one of these fire places!

I can see animals in your fireplace tiles. There's a warthog, a monkey, a baboon and a newborn panda!

Or maybe that's just me?

Glad to hear it's going well. xx
