Oh what fun! This is one of the beach sculptures along Adelaide's beautiful coastline. It's usually a metal man sitting eating chips. Some scamp had decided to jazz him up for Christmas! 🌲 🤣 #christmasfun #adelaidebeaches

Interested in how characters evolve? Today's blog is a short focus on how Audrey developed. I hope you've enjoyed meeting her. Penny begins in the new year! Link in bio Don't you love this beautiful rose? All happiness to you ❤️ #BecauseLife #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

It's Christmas lily time! So exciting when these are getting ready to bloom, then they open and it's festive cheer in a flower ❤️ 🌲 #christmaslily #selfseedgarden #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

I'm going the Nick & Norah double. Nearly finished the book then watching the movie. Second time because I love both interpretations of Nick & Norah's perfectly perfect Infinite Playlist. #bookaholic #movieholic #libraries #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

This beautiful maroon hollyhocks also came up in a place where I threw seeds from the pink verge plant. A different area of the garden, very different colour to the other two. Nature is bizarre! ❤️ Do you have a favourite? #nature #hollyhocks #gardeninglife #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Here's the 2nd Hollyhocks. It's almost white with pink touches. Can it be from the pink one on the verge? I only threw seeds from the pink one into the garden, no others were planted by me. But it gets curiouser with the next one ... #nature #hollyhocks #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

The original hollyhocks, self seeded on our verge. It's a lovely pink colour. I'm going to post the other two. I haven't seen any hollyhocks around here now there are my three and one across the road, too. It's quite bizarre, but I love it! #nature #hollyhocks #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Who could go past such a glorious red rose? So beautiful. I hope everyone is having a great Christmas lead-up 🌲 🎉 ❤️ 🌹 #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

It's a gardening extravaganza from the library! Summer here in Australia, so I'm trying to find out more about supporting bees (yay, more flowers!) and upgrade my knowledge about growing my garden in a changing climate. #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Beautiful pink sundae salvia soaking up the sunshine in between my orange trees. Just gorgeous ❤️ 🐝 🐞 🌸 #homegarden #homegrownfood #beeforage #pinkflowers #sunshine #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

I love seeing pretty roses brightening up a fence. Aren't these gorgeous? So cheery in the sunshine ❤️ #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

The reason I write. And the reason why I blog helpful friendly ideas. Fiction entertains, comforts, soothes. It also provides insights, laughter, strength, compassion and hope. That's why I write. #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl #writinglife #fiction #becauselife

This is gorgeous, heavenly chamomile! After countless failed attempts, the honey scent of chamomile now pervades my every gleeful moment when I'm in the garden. The flowers are gorgeous and the bees love them. Perfect calming chamomile! ❤️ 🐝 #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

A hot day here in Adelaide today, so a good inside reading day ❤️ #books #reading #hotweather☀️ #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

How romantic is this garden? Full of roses and other flowers. Don't you just love roses, they are so cheery ❤️ #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

My beautiful sport is now in major bloom! This hollyhock is a different colour to its pale pink mother. It bobs around in the wind high above the rest of the garden. Such a cheery sight. And look at that beautiful blue sky! #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Humbled to be sharing the shelf with such great authors 🎉 Dymocks at Glenelg with The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl plus review in the fiction section ❤️ So grateful. #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl @dymocksglenelg

Saw this cute little seagull bookmark at the Dymocks Glenelg bookshop yesterday. I especially liked "In Search of the Holy Chip"! 😂 🕊

Another cute book bag, especially if you also 😍 cats 🐱🐱🐱🐱 Seen at Dymocks Glenelg bookshop #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl #Caturday

The second of the hollyhocks has flowered! This one's pale pink, paler than its mother & much paler than the deep maroon of the first flowerer. Is this colour variance normal of hollyhocks? Don't you just love nature? 🌸 🐝 #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl

Up the escalators to paradise! Books galore in a luxury old building setting. Christmas shopping time! So grateful to see my books on the shelf here, too ❤️😘😍🎉🥰 #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl #contemporaryfiction #bookshops

Snapdragons were the first seeds I planted. We weren't big gardeners & they were a gift from a family friend. I was hooked! These pop up every year with no work on my part. Here they are, enjoying last week's rain. Still one of my very favourite plants ❤️ #thefeministearthmotherpartygirl
