man is an animal

Wranglers-we are animals campaign won the Press Grand Prix in the Cannes Lions last week. I just love this campaign, the imagery makes me feel so content... strange- possibly.

Press Release on the campagin
“In today’s society, our animal instincts are smothered by daily modern life, city-living and constant technological developments. Man is an animal, but he no longer knows it.
Wrangler’s new strategic and creative platform seeks to re-awaken our bottled-up instincts and to encourage who and what we fundamentally are, by putting all that is pure, natural and instinctive back into Man.”

opening weekend

The first weekend of May means one thing and one thing only back on the farm. Duck shooting season begins. Everything is put on hold this weekend; rugby is missed, relief milkers are organised and sleep is postponed. Mum spends the days leading up to opening morning baking and cooking so the boys have enough to eat while they camp out in the mi-mis down by the river waiting for the sun to rise and the birds to fly.


My brother Crutch and his girlfriend Steph have a new puppy, Teal the newest addition to their family (now 4 Labradors).




She is so beautiful and ran around the deck smelling and playing with the dead ducks while they are being plucked.

It seems I have officially become a city girl as my hand for plucking is a bit rusty and I don’t take to it quiet as well as the others anymore. I’m more interested in the beautiful colours of the feathers and how they illuminate in the morning sunshine.

Kendall Berry, my kid sister had a photography assignment to do around surrealism. So we did a bit of a shoot...Slightly disturbing... More pics on the farmer’s daughters.

reusing beautiful objects

Very sweet. I love the reuse of beautiful china. It reminds me of this post.

I am off to Palmy for a hen’s night... And I won’t be under the influence of anything! I am having a break! Sigh, how will I coup? Good luck to me and happy weekend to you all. xxx

The Australian bush fires are just so horrible! Above is a video of a A kola being hand fed water by a fireman. Check out the rest of the posting by Daydream Lily, including ways to help. The Red Cross has already gathered over $31 million.

giggling like a school girl.

Today has been a day filled of giggles and laughter, I have been giggling like a school girl all day. I’m so glad I find myself so entertaining and enjoy my own company. Now I think about it this could be a little concerning.... Then again it’s not just me who I find entertaining but my friends as well. Look at this great image my friend Lizzie sent me!

Every time I look at it I can’t help but giggle. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because I love cows or maybe it’s because I’m actually becoming my Mother’s daughter and I know it’s something my Mum would love.

Thanks Liz, it really set the standard for the rest of my day. xxx
