over the past weekend we hosted a high tea party to celebrate 'my' older child's 9th birthday..let's describe the party in a few key words : beautiful, messy, loud, exiting, romantic, exhausting, delicious, sickly sweet. we had an amazing cake made by a family friend. i've never seen anything like it! and it even tasted great..considering that those artsy things taste like boring, sugary cardboard usually haha.
but we didn't leave it with on party for the weekend..i went out into the city that night to have a change from 9 yer old screamig kids to 20 year old screaming kids by joining a pub crawl which was great fun..and then we just continued celebrating..sunday was mother's day in australia(and the usa and germany) so we had a lovely breakfast (bacon and egg roll..sounds great when you are a tinytiny bit hungover(i literally mean a tinytiny bit))..and then visited luna park. an old fashioned amusement park in north sydney. we went out for an amazing dinner and i tried my very first dumpling..now i understand what all the fuzz is about..they are quite alright actually
and the next day i explored around scotland island. altough my writing job is really poor and shit today (apologies..but it's waaay past my bed time and my brain is on standby for a few hours now..can't blame it though after those screaming munchkins haha) i hope that the pictures tell a better story of how enchanting day to day life can be. a little party never killed nobody right? so let's celebrate every single day like it's our birthday! it's always someones birthday somewhere after all:)!

why in the world are balloons so much fun? a silicon sack of old breath? really? however..they never fail to amuse me..and are such a happy party decoration
there are such talented people out there! look at this beauty! the flowers and handles and everything are edible! sugar magic
high tea is always a good idea. mhmmm carrot cake, finger sandwiches and tea. lovely saturday lunch
vanilla bean scones with raspberry jam and a generous scoope of whipped cream. ahm..yes please?
a bunch of little posh ladies came to celebrate..but we had pink lemonade instead of tea haha
and the artwork of cake tasted like havenly, moist and rich chocolate..it doesn't really get any better does it?
i'm in love with this stunning tea service. altough i stuck to my trusty old 'english breakfast' most of the time i swapped it for a raspberry tea for this picture..just for the pretty colour:)
luna park is such a cute and romantic place
i don't want to sound like a whinger but this little ferris wheel is faster and higher than expected
the view is worth any height, wind or trouble though..my beloved harbour bridge! and the opera house..which i am still not to crazy about..but it's still nice to look at
no need to be jealous of our beauty haha..wonky mirrors are so fun
haven't had a cotton candy/fairy floss for literally aaaages. it's so fun to bite into a sugary cloud
the view oer milson's point from the ferris wheel. perfect timing with the wheather conditions after a good few days of rain.
such a lovely café at church point! and i converted from beeing a flat white addict to mochas..why did i never consider them! chocolate and coffee? of course!
we had to catch the ferry from church point to get to scotland island. well..because it's an island haha
this cute little cheeky munchkin acompanied us:) such a fluff ball!
and she did not miss out on a single puddle on the island..oh boy..this puppy
such a refreshing change to the busy and hectic city life..just in between mama nature
i loved my weekend and i am looking forward to keep exloring around here..but rather the nature..i am getting slightly claustrophobic in this rushed city..
take care,
juli xx
