April 6, 2011  Toronto, ON I seem to be right where you left me. A white sheepskin rug, a Halloween mug of Dreamland tea, a pad of post-it notes, an almost-empty bag of Soma chocolate-tumbled hazelnuts and a fresh black Sharpie.  Looks like there’s some righteous plans at work in this sweet Sweetlandish mind of mine. But righteous plans and…   see more…

March 28, 2011  Toronto, ON Bonsoir from Casa Sweetlandia. It was a sweet sunny Sunday in the big city and I’ve been up and going since the crack of the first church bell this morn!

February 14, 2011Toronto, ON Happy Valentine’s Day! I am celebrating said most torturous of Hallmark holidays in true Venusian splendour. Had a delicious dinner tonight at Tati with my friends. Black Cod is a fantastic Valentine’s date in lieu if an actual human man. It’s been a very wintery month chez moi and somewhat of a challenging one. I seem…   see more…

January 30, 2010  Dalkeith, ON Mmmm back in Farm Heaven at last! When I close my eyes I can still tell I’m here … The heat of the wood stove, the mew of the kitten, the waft of bourbon hot chocolate, and the sniff of something delicious Captain Dirt is cooking up in the kitchen! This weekend I decided to…   see more…

January 20, 2011  Toronto, ON Home Sweetland Home after a wee jaunt to Siberburbia. There I slept like a baby and kidnapped one small furry beast!
