1. Roses blooming in gardens. There is something special about a rose that is home grown. You definitely can't beat the smell of them and it's always a pleasure to stop and smell them as you walk on by a bush. LOVE!

2. Absolutely Fabulous. Yes definitely showing my age here! I was reminded about this show by a friend of mine this week and how hooked I was on it during the nineties. If you're unaware of it, get onto youtube and check out some clips. Too funny! LOVE!

 3. My friend explaining how her three year old daughter broke her arm. Alicia thinks she is an actual fairy and while dressed in her fairy costume, she attempted to fly off her bed and instead, broke her arm. Such a sweet story! So often it is about a boy who wanted to fly like superman not a girl who wanted to fly like a fairy! LOVE!

4. Italian Easter Eggs. They are usually made with dark chocolate and soooo overly decorated with the words Buona Pasqua written on them. They are then wrapped in cellophane and ribbons to boot! LOVE!

5. Italian Easter Cake. It's actually called a Colombo which means Dove. Similar to a Panettone it is traditionally given to each family for Easter and is soooo YUM! It has a crunchy sugary top with almonds while being soft and fluffy with orange rind pieces on the inside. LOVE!

6.  People wearing bunny ears! I loved that people got into the spirit of Easter rebirth by wearing bunny ears! Seemed like everyone from shop assistants to bar tenders were onto it this year. LOVE!

8. Chasing the sun! My plan to never experience winter again seems to be coming to fruition! Those of you out there that know me, know that I hate winter or being cold and my dream is to have a house in the Northern Hemisphere and one in the Southern Hemisphere and never have winter again. Looks like that will be happening this year! Am working on a plan for next year too! LOVE!

9. Receiving a replica of Princess Diana's engagement ring in the mail! My friends mum sent it all the way from Canada; a bit of Commonwealth comradeship. I wore it out one night catching up with a few people I haven't seen in a while and their eyes went straight to my finger as if I came back from The States engaged! LOVE!

10. This piece of graffiti down the street from where I now live in Melbourne, Australia. Melbourne is known for it's street graffiti but the suburb I'm currently living in isn't known for it. I came across this during the week and loved that it's a Chinese girl spilling out a real deck of cards with the words Be Free written next to her (especially as Ai Weiwei is still detained by the Chinese Government with no word yet). Be free to live. LOVE!
