Capturing the person – by email
by Eva Wynne
Email has its limitations. It is a convenient way of keeping in touch, particularly when travelling but for most it lacks the nuance of a face-to-face, hearing someone’s voice or even a letter or postcard. Many emails are rendered flat and homogenised as we autopilot into an approximation of proper written English. With email being much easier to edit than snail-mail it’s easier to edit the liveliness … Read More Capturing the person – by email
Chick Flick Movie Marathon
by Eva Wynne
I recently held a girls movie marathon. It was part of my Youthful New Year campaign where I committed to throw 10 parties in 2011. I previously posted about the movie marathon in the post, Chick Flick Bonanza,which might be useful if you’d like to host your own chick flick marathon. Here is the promised Ultimate Chick Flick catalogue. I am not saying this … Read More Chick Flick Movie Marathon
#8 Way to Live – There’s a place for Champagne
by Eva Wynne
But that is not on a plane. To me, there is no more legitimate symbol of (and for) celebration than popping the cork on a bottle of champagne.

The idea is to be … Read More Chick Flick Bonanza
Lovin and Livin… still

Haphazard. That’s my posting schedule. Fortunately I have a patient audience! Thank you. If it’s of any consolation at all I have been a busy little bee! I’ve been living the mantra of my blog – even if I’ve neglected to keep you updated. Having taken a moment to catch my breath I’m feeling a little recharged and re-focused. Am I still a an … Read More Lovin and Livin… still
A Family Affair
by Eva Wynne
Dinner for Five at Six. That’s right as part of my “Youthful New Year” campaign posted earlier this year I deigned to throw 10 Parties in 2011. For my first big adventure I organised a dinner party, something simple and classy was my initial plan. And why not invite, quite possibly my toughest audience. Yes, you’re quite right I organised a dinner party for my family: 4 … Read More A Family Affair
A youthful new year
by Eva Wynne
Something about that calendar ticking over to a bright and shiny new year is a lovely wonderful idea. This year is ripe with hope… RIPE I tell you! All potential and plans just bubbling away under the surface, a future just effervescing to a certain reality… I hope. And what does the future hold? Try every tea available in Australia — Learn to Ride-A-Bike — Wear false … Read More A youthful new year
