Change of Address
Dear Tumblr,
you’ve had your wicked way with us and we’ve enjoyed every moment of it, but now it’s time to head back to the family nest. The prodigal daughter returns… or something!

five senses roasters were already up in the mountains doing their annual ‘harvest trip’ with a crew of master roasters and baristas from some of australia’s best cafes. as well as building a new nursery in...
hawaiian beach birthday party
we live in bali, so what else would we want to pick as a birthday party theme than ‘hawaiian’! helen from miss milne, ben from benson and our very own josh share the same birthday so we decided to hold a hawaiian beach birthday party.
the punch was tropical, the food was plentiful and the party [like the swell] was pumping.
there were lay girls giving out frangipani flowers

latte art
without my coffee in the morning i’m a little bit like pooh without his honey. thanks to my tribe of australian friends i have been educated in the art of a ‘proper coffee’ and proudly serve up bali’s finest at sea circus every AM.
