Blogging the Beautiful ~ Searching the Sustainable ~ Reaching out in Friendship
Revival
A message from Brigid ....
I have been a blogger since 2005. At the height of my blogging busy-ness, I had "a small stable" of blogs on different topics: social and political commentary; desert spirituality; food; waste and ....
A few years ago I called time and ceased blogging altogether - although there was an occasional post. I had called it quits. I am an aged woman these days with a couple of serious illnesses. I am not allowed to drive. I am no longer active in organisations. I think it fair to say that I am housebound. I am active on Facebook, although I am not there as often as once I was. I have decided to embark on a re-entry into the blogging world ... beginning with The Trad Pad and, possibly, a return to my food blog, Oz Tucker. I have always used a lot of photographs on my blogs ... and I miss not being out and about with my camera.
The Trad Pad has been my blog for the lovely things of life. The controversial or political has seldom intruded. Occasionally, the spiritual has found its way in, but I kept spirituality for the blog, Desert. I don't yet know if I will revive that. I will stick pretty much to food and the lovely things of life. If I have some regularity with those two categories, I feel that I will be doing well. I hope that, with this blog new friendships can be formed and old friendships renewed; new lovelies discovered; new reflections can enter into the meaning of modern life. I would love to hear from you - particularly if you have suggestions for new topics to enter into the conversation. So, it is a new year. Let's see what it has in store, what it can bring to us. And I hope that those who share the spirit of The Trad Pad can spread the message of a world of beauty, the creativity of humanity, and the joys of simplicity and tradition. ~~~ February, 2017

A find at Camberwell
Herself went to market yesterday - Camberwell Market. This is what she found.
WOW!!! Is the Camberwell market good? I have heard mixed reports about it and have never been myself... I had to laugh at your drink machine incident... I remember one day at Caulfield I did the same except I got 4 cans of drink - they kept kplunking into the bottom part of the machine... LOL I can remember thinking I must have been part of some candid camera shot...
Camberwell is great. Herself thinks it's the place to see and be seen. She has developed some good relationships with traders there. Avec Amour - her shop - always carries a proportion of vintage objects and some of this comes via her favourite traders at Camberwell. There is a charge to go in by Rotary who organise it all - and you know the money raised is going to good community causes. I think they asked for a bit extra at the time of the Tsunami. There are shops which open on to the market so there are some nice coffee shops to sit and read the Sunday papers. There is quite a variety of stuff and lane upon lane of it. So you can come home with herbs, jewellery, furniture, clothes, books, kids toys, and so on. As for the Pepsi and VB machine, if it was candid camera nobody let me know: and I was tarted up rather well. I was off to see a friend being made a Bishop at St Paul's Cathedral!
