Mum's things on her fireplace mantel @ Straddie.
Happy Ned having the best time on the beach.
Not another person on the beach. Just me & Ned...pure bliss.

On the weekend I went to my parent's beach cottage which sits on the most beautiful, quiet beach at Straddie and it was a perfect breath of fresh air for me. I can't believe that Ned and I were the only people {well Ned is a dog not a person} on the beach on Sunday morning. We walked for over an hour and we didn't pass 1 person except for the man in his surf ski. It was quite extraordinary and just so refreshing. It's amazing what a bit of fresh sea air and time on your own can do for your head and soul!! It definitely gets rid of the cobwebs.

I agree, a little neutral is always good! I too, like to move against the current so am always moving away from the tide!! What a lovely walk you must have had.

oh Anna, that sounds divine! such an alone time - must be incredibly rare. Love lots and hope you are well. xxxx
Absolute bliss Anna.
One of my favourite pastimes at this time of the year is taking my dog Luke for a walk at Sunshine Beach, although it's very rare for it to be just us.
Happy week!
your mum has lovly taste and such a fabulous eye.
Meanwhile I am SICK but don't think it's stopped me thinking about you and when we are meeting up. Plus I am counting the seconds til your sale. xxxx
Anna,
I chose to go with a palette of all neutral in our renovation and I am so happy. lots of white, natural so seasonally I can add colorful accents.
I think as an artist, we are so sensitive to our surroundings and for me, keeping things neutral, crisp and clean is like a day at the beach.
I must admit, I am loving navy blue now....

What a lovely beach Anna, lucky you and Ned - really looks like a special spot for you and your family! have a great week! ;-))
No one could be more being than I am, I need an intervention.
beatiful!! and even if I didn't know your sweet pup was "Ned" I would call him "Ned".... he so looks like his name! What a love.
best,
joan
Isn't it amazing how one can feel completely safe on an empty beach? I often marvel that I can walk a pretty long stretch of our beach in Dana Point, CA and see only a couple of people on the beach. Plenty of surfers in the water...but where is everyone on such a beautiful day I often find myself thinking. The water and the blue sky is brilliantly blue at Straddie, isn't it?
I do love your mum's mantel...looks like plenty of good reading material.

sounds like heaven. My favorite times at the beach are when I am alone there. And a dog always adds to the fun, especially if the ocean brings out the natural joy in them....
...and if it has to be neutral go white as it makes the brights look that happier!....B:)
Anna,
You are right, Straddie is such a wonderful place. The beaches are quite, clean, the sea a wonder blue and yes the air seems so clean even though we a no more than a half hour ferry ride from the mainland. I too just spent a week there and cheerished evey restfull moment.
My cob webs have cleared and Im ready to take on the city.
To me colour always looks better with a contrasting neutral and a change is as good as a holiday. You seem to have had both.
warm wishes Daryl
Anna,
