We just got back from a weekend getaway in Canberra...its only a 3hour drive from Sydney but we stayed overnight and got to see a bit more of the city ...was fun but freezing!
lucky we bought winter jackets and scarfs - we all had a great time though...we visited Floriade
an annual spring flower festival and the tulips were so so beautiful!! too bad I suffer from hay fever haha!
A sea of flowers!
Painted Gnomes and lots of coffee breaks!
Just wanted to say what fun I had at the Bloglandia Ball the other day - wow so many bloggers came by to say Hi and left a comment!!
Thank you all SO much!!! what a great night....everyone looked stunning of course!! thanks Elizabeth for hosting!!
Blog parties are so much fun! whens the next one??

ReplyDeletei missed the party!
ReplyDeletei love these photos, the flowers, the gnomes! looks like a wonderful weekend.
I love seeing all those gnomes!
ReplyDeleteIt's so neat the way that blogging helps to keep me aware of what is happening where in the world. Spring in your country is very beautiful!
I was also in Canberra overnight on the weekend - didn't go to Floriade but it was FREEZING!! Can't believe it's the same country when the weather in Sydney is now this hot!
ReplyDeleteOh, scary knombs, noooooo!! Beautiful flowers, was everyone using the good old "carpet of flowers" cliche, i love it. We're about to go into garden over drive as the Monsoons come in, love Posie
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, we'll be in Canberra to live from January, so we can actually finally wonderfully go to a Floriade!! Yippee, love Posie
ReplyDeleteI have seen photos of Canberra and I was amazed how green it all looks - looking at the photos which were taken from a local hill, all you can see is the odd building - no roads or anything else for all the trees. It looks like just the sort of place I'd love to visit! Love the gnomes!
ReplyDeleteHey look at all those gnomes, who could resist a photo of that ! ~ love Julia x
ReplyDeletecanberra sounds like so much fun... love the tulips and especially the gnomes!
