Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

I admit, I was in tears when I saw those red carpet speeches in London for the premiere of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It's quite stunning the journey of the Harry Potter films and especially the 3 leads - Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, & Daniel Radcliffe. They've literally grown up in front of a world wide audience, and spent their childhoods together on the Harry Potter set.

Check out this footage of the last days of filming on the Harry Potter set. Tear.

And some bloopers from the last film:

September

I can't believe it's already September - this year has flown! September for me means I'm older - 24 which means next year is the big 25 but let's not talk about that. In this beautiful state of Queensland, September also means...SPRING! The flowers in my garden are blooming, I've stowed away my hot water bottle and heater, and best of all, been to the beach! I can't get enough of the beach when the weather is good, so I'm looking forward to many beach trips to come - there's nothing like driving up to Noosa in a bikini, my little Yaris playing summer tunes and packed with yummy food and beach towels. Brisbane City really excels at this time of year as well - Southbank is alive with people, everyone is in the parks on picnics, the river (which was formidable and entering our homes in January) is glittering. It's such a beautiful time of year. Here are some of my spring pics - so far.
