Walking along a wintery morning beach.The wind whips at our hair, tying curly tangles in sudden lusty gusts, prompting me to seek the warm sanctuary of my cosy handknit hoodie about my ears and saving the hair from a cruel tussle with the hairbrush when I get home…
This is Sienna’s favourite place to be in the whole world. When we are here she regains the unalloyed joie de vivre of a puppy; uncomplicated, pure and complete in her appreciation of soft sand and rippling water. The tide is her playmate, her partner in the crime of meaningless high-spirited fun. The peekaboo waves are an irresistible tease, their behind-her-back whispering a gentle and cheeky provocateur demanding her stern attention…
And sadly for her it’s out with the hose and the hairbrush at home…!

I'm glad you Australians are paving the way with winter blogging. I started my blog this past spring, and I've been wondering what I'll do about outfit photos in the cooler months. Do I take them outside? Will I be wearing my coat in every photo? Or will I go outside in my outfit and freeze my butt off for the pictures? Love to see you looking warm and cozy, and most of all REAL!xo
I love your hoodie, i need to make some warmer clothes even though its supposed to be summer here its like winter.
Thanks for the comment on my blog regarding my beloved gelding. Your dog is your constant companion, isn't she? Nice outfit today 🙂 Stay warm-I have the swamp cooler going right now.
Love your hoodie. You look great with the mix of the green and black.

How sweet! What lovely pictures, too.
There is nothing better than watching a dog enjoy the beach. Sienna looks like a sweetie!
