In brief:

I'm a redheaded mama with four lovely daughters. We're based in southern Australia and travel in a small, colourful housebus — meeting inspiring people, learning lots and re-thinking everything. I feel passionately about spirituality, good design, alternative education, discussing death and conscious parenting.

Making a fire

10 April 12

When we travelled around Northland last year, we really missed the opportunity to light campfires. So it’s been neat to have a fire here at our current location.

We set up a picnic area just behind our truck, and David collects wood for the fire.

Elijah comes out to enjoy the fire. He's wearing a hat that was crocheted for him by a friend at the Rainbow Gathering last November.

While David gets the fire going, Calista offers Delaney a taste of her food.

When it gets dark and chilly, David builds the fire higher and we sit close to its warmth.

We all enjoy being at the campfire so much that we're reluctant to break up the party and head indoors.

Our lifestyle wouldn’t be possible without the generous hospitality of our friends. We were strangers when Johnny first invited us to park on his land. And now we are best friends — sharing dreams, ideas, love and hope for the future. Thanks, Johnny, for creating this special space and for embracing our family so wholly!
