Hi, I’m Melissa. This is my place to explore in writing (and photos) the good life and all it entails – community, neighbourliness, justice, faithfulness, hope, beauty …

I proudly acknowledge the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land, and pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.

I’m a wife, mother to three adult children, work part-time in our family business and enjoy running, good food and drinks, reading, photography and exploring.
