Today was one of those very special days.. Any day is wonderful when I get to spend it with my three favourite girls, my Mum, my Sister and my fabulous Nan, but today was extra special because we were also celebrating, in loving memory, our Pop's birthday.
The day was just beautiful and perfect weather for a lovely lunch at the Southport Yacht Club, over looking the picturesque marina.
And of course no special girls outing is complete without a spot of shopping, so we ventured over to the Ferry Road Market and enjoyed some lovely treats and delightful boutiques.
Beautiful pops of colour from St. Barts and The Tea Centre.
It means so much to me to be back living so close to my family, especially my Nan. I missed her so much while I was living in Mildura. Being able to pop down to the Gold Coast and take her out to lunch and go shopping together is such a delight and something I truly treasure. She will be 88 in May and she is still one of the most fabulously dressed girls in town and such an incredible inspiration.
And the man of the day.. A beautiful reminder of my amazing Pop, one of my greatest inspirations and a true gentleman, who is always in my heart. This is one of my favourite photos, he reminds me of Carey Grant.
Here's to celebrating special days!
Much Love
