YAY for love & spring & everything betwixt


Hello hello! 

So, I just snuck upstairs for a peak at what the weather is doing in ol' Durbs and was only too delighted to discover that it is the most gorgeous day. Sun blazing with a slight and very gentle breeze. I would love to be sitting on the sand at the beach, reading a book and dashing to the edge of the water to dip my toes into the icy water at random intervals. I am totally in love with spring and quite obviously in love in general, I can't wait for the summer holidays! I have almost finished compiling our Summer Bucket List and Summer is looking quite busy. 

Aside from the bucket list, I am also busy trying to pull together Christmas advent calendars as well as plan a bit of home surface DIY. A couple of exciting projects on the cards, like sparkly sequin cushions, fresh coats of paint, christmas DIY and a scrubbing up of home in general. 

I am getting way too far ahead of myself, in the meantime, I am quite excited to start some new spring traditions at home. I know I have practically missed the boat on spring but I am eager to plant some new vegetables and have a quick spring clean this weekend just to catch up on the fresh spring vibe. Who knows, perhaps there will be a fruity cranberry cocktail with flower ice blocks on the cards?

A side not to this post, I have never been so happy and full of all the love 

Alas, work beckons and there is a lot to finish and even more to start!

A forced break and now I'm back {for real - again}

After a forced 2 or so week hiatus, I am back at Hello Duffymoon again! I though my internet was fixed last time and it WASN'T but I figured out a way to blogpost in a sneaky fashion while I wait for my home internet to be fixed {Hi Telkom, how ya doin ey?}

My birthday was the best ever, I got spoilt by friends, family and my love and I had a lovely slap dash birthday party that turned into the perfect little gathering of some of my favourite people. My gorgeous friend Nicole made a very sweet speech and I had a chance to have a quick gush about Darren and how he has changed my life so much in such a a short space of time. I am a very lucky young lady to be surrounded by so much love and light and hey, I am 24 now! That is basically the entrance into mid 20's guys!

I have never been so excited to be older, weird hey? I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my life finally feels like it is in the right space, with the right balance and the right people. Let's not forget the growing up part.

So the birthday period is over... now to begin Christmas and Summer Holiday preparations! Never ending excitement I tell you, not to mention New Year after that. My summer holidays run from the 22nd of December till the 13th of January, so there is plenty of time for Darren and I to tick a load of things off our Summer bucket list!

Summer Bucket list to follow
