Goodbye 2014!

On New Year's Eve we raced into the lane behind a friend's house to watch the midnight fireworks as they began to explode over our town. At one point, someone turned around to hug their friend and wish them a happy 2015. It was a hug that passed through the whole party and was the loveliest way to begin the year.

Here are twelve highlights from 2014, as inspired by Reading My Tea Leaves.

1. Summer by the sea in January

2. My indoor survival kit for the February heatwave (43 degrees for days on end)

3. My Mum's 60th birthday in March

4. An Easter reunion in the mountains with my two favourite girls in April

5. In May my annual apple pie came out looking a little freaky

6. A friend's backyard birthday party was the loveliest way to end the June long weekend

7. A quiet moment at home in July

8. Turning 30 in August surrounded by cakes and girlfriends

9. A first dance beneath a sprinkling sky in September

10. Reminiscing about our New York honeymoon in October

11. Rooming with Angie in Sydney come November

12. Landing in Wagga Wagga on Christmas Eve having spent four months away from home
