Autumn & Winter 2021

The last 6 months have been a mix of lockdowns (4, 5 and 6 maybe?) and easing of restrictions providing a hint of real life in between. My Easter holiday (Blues fest with Belinda) and winter road trip to NSW coast with Justin were both cancelled, so life has been close to home (mostly within the 5km radius, but with the odd allowance into regional Vic). That's meant lots of hanging out in front of the fireplace and cooking at home. But making the most of the gaps in between whenever I can. 

Still in lockdown now but bring on Spring. A bunch of pics below, all date out of order.
