Birth & Beyond

The Thursday I was finally admitted to hospital was the opening day of the new restaurant Cal works at. Cal and I just kept saying, timing hey, even though we always knew it would go that way. That was just the way things had been going. By Sunday it was…

It’s only natural

A month ago sommelier Samantha Payne wrote an article for Gourmet Traveller titled Natural wine is dead. Despite it’s inflammatory tagline, it was a fairly short and seemingly innocuous summation of the genesis of the Australian natural wine movement. …

Inside me there are two wolves — one is my heart and the other one is a baby

I first noticed my heart doing weird things in the middle of last year. I wouldn’t be doing anything really but my heart would be racing along for no particular reason. Sometimes it would be a few minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes days. …

Western Australia, Wine & Some Walks

Does my compulsion to document and share experiences through various media diminish my experience in real time? I don’t know. It’s an argument that currently rages ferociously within and beyond these very platforms. Cal raises it with me every time I stand up at a table to take a photograph…

Why I won’t be offering any silver lining reflections on the year 2020.

We are approaching the end of the year and that means one thing for sure: the personal yearly wrap up. I am a long-term indulger in the end of year wrap up. It’s when everyone starts retrospectively making sense of all the shitty things that happened this year. Turning poop…

On Weddings, waiting and what Love may or may not be about

As a little girl I never dreamed of getting married. I didn’t look to marriage as an achievement in itself. It seemed a natural life event that happens to people when nothing else more exciting came up. Not going on an expedition to the Arctic? Not pursuing a scientific breakthrough…

Decision making, distraction & Reflections on Self-Delusion

I’ve been hoping that I would arrive at the time in life when decision making became straight forward. I’ve always assumed that there was a magical age at which the answers became clear. I’m devastated to realise this seems increasingly unlikely. I’m grappling with the knowledge that in actual fact…

Why there’s never been a better time to eat in a restaurant //And, the case for pleasure in a sea of misery
