Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sy Safe to say we picked the perfect time to visit Sydney ✨

With Vivid lighting up the city every night, we’ve been treated to an incredible show from our apartment and around Darling Harbour 🌟

This spectacular light show was the perfect way to end the evening. Sydney really knows how to put on a show ❤️

#VividSydney #DarlingHarbour #SydneyNights #SydneyFun #Australia
Not a bad view to end the day ✨ Darling Harbour p Not a bad view to end the day ✨

Darling Harbour putting on a show from my hotel room window - twinkling lights, reflections on the water and the Sydney skyline glowing after dark 🌃

Definitely no complaints from me 😍

If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s If David Attenborough has taught us anything, it’s that the world is breathtakingly beautiful and worth protecting 🌎💚

100 years of Sir David Attenborough. What a life. What a legacy 🌿🐘🐋

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest storytellers the world has ever known 🎂

Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and Just finished ‘Fifty Fifty’ by Steve Cavanagh and wow, what a ride.

I could not put this one down… ended up reading until 2:30 am to finish it! Such a clever, gripping story that keeps you guessing the whole way through.

Honestly, the entire Eddie Flynn series is fantastic. If you love fast-paced legal thrillers, these are absolute must-reads.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“Alexandra Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body, and needs the police right away. She believes her sister killed him, and that she is still in the house with a knife. 

Sofia Avellino has just found her father’s mutilated body and needs the police right away. She believes her sister, Alexandra did it, and that she is still in the house, locked in the bathroom. 

Both women are to go on trial at the same time. A joint trial in front of one jury. 

But one of these women is lying. One of them is a murderer. Sitting in a jail cell, about to go on trial with her sister for murder, you might think that this is the last place she expected to be. 

You’d be wrong.”

After being the recipient of a life-saving blood t After being the recipient of a life-saving blood transfusion myself… today I finally gave back 🩸

Over the years I’ve had a few false starts thanks to anemia, high blood pressure and the flu 🤦🏻‍♀️ but we got there in the end 🙌

Feels pretty special knowing this could help someone else the way I was once helped ❤️
