I’ve learned that with SITC, while many don’t necessarily comment … SO many are watching.
We regularly reach up to 200,000 people (see below in insight bar) despite very rarely promoting posts.
This speaks absolutely endless volumes to me about the need out there ❤️🩹

Well.
This made me 😭😭
It was so good to be doing my thing this week, speaking publicly and hoping to impart powerful, important info & plain truth to our precious youngsters, for the first time in a LONG time after the horror year that was 2024.
How lovely 🥰

Never seen a more accurate representation of what it’s like working to advocate for change in rural Oz and how we “do” the booze thing:

Facebook just reminded me of that one red carpet event in 2022 when I was Marie Claire’s advocate of the year.
That entire year was very surreal. Still is.
I also believe that it’s taken me almost two years since, to fully recover from the extreme fatigue of all the media, travel, etc. life, eh!?

Good morning from Little Biscuit. It’s a bit cool with the air con for her, so, you know, into the “Joey pouch” of Mum’s shirt she goes.

Tim just came in from the workshop and whistled Daveo and said “come on mate, let’s have some blokes time eh?” - and Daveo opened one eye and smiled at him and then closed his eye and said “nah, all good thanks mate - Mum needs protecting in the air conditioned office …” 😝😝

I have become one of those farm humans who obsessively checks weather apps and feels indescribably sad when the colours miss the pin like this 😭😫😭😫
Dang it.
Double dang it.
Geez we need a big new years drink (of rain!) out this way …

I won’t obviously be sharing obligatory alcohol images 🤪
Instead - here is my wild night: me and Little Biscuit, snuggling and half asleep before 9:40 pm.
Which means I’ll be up at 5 am and hooking in, with a fresh head. Which I infinitely prefer to hangovers 😍

I may not have been afforded the privilege of being able to have children, but I am beyond thankful for the precious friends in our lives who bring their kids up to the farm, and allow me to teach their little people things - and hug them lots!

Paddock clearing, and came across mountains of old discarded bottles, so, I’ve decided to keep the ones that I like.
I find myself imagining the stories these bottles could tell. I’m guessing some are tragic, and some are joyful?
What will I do with them? Randomly house dried flowers, perhaps?

If I googled it for you, does that make it not count ? 😝
….. for real, they’re super cool little things. Especially the miniatures . Like Jimmy.
Just sayin’
They’re like goats and do so well on whatever food is about. (And extremely territorial and protective of their pack!!)
