A Summertime Christmas
I see a lot of winter Christmas posts and they’re all wonderful but I thought some photos of a summer Christmas needs to be shared.

Hide & Seek
Why do I always have to seek first?
I’ll find you!
No you won’t.
That’s exactly why I don’t like to seek first.

I thought this was a writer’s blog.
Well, hello to you too and thank you for dropping by. 🙂
Let me tell you a short story behind Riverside Peace and why I named it so. Yes, it is the official website of Australian author Chrissy Siggee but it’s the whole me.
At the time of creating my blog my husband and I lived and previously lived not far from a river. The closest river from our new home now is still just a short drive away but there are quite a few rivers really. Rivers have always inspired my writing and I’ve spent hours taking in the solitude at a river side and photographing the source of my inspirations. Not only do we have a river close by but there are numerous beaches, country drives, a zoo and the Koala Hospital – all to inspire any writer or photographer. With the Covid-19 restrictions and closures, I can only work with archived photos. 🙂
Gardening has always been a relaxing hobby and has always inspired my writing and my prayer life. Let me leave you with a favourite song of mine.
Let me tell you a secret….
I keep thinking I should delete this photo because it’s so blurred. To be honest, I can’t remember seeing this when I was taking multiple photos at this location, but they are just too cute to be in the delete box.

The Pond
It’s going to be a slow process.
The beginnings of our courtyard garden. The lawn is looking great so we’ll need to be careful not to ruin it now that plans and digging has begun.
Screening, pond and native garden. Slow and steady.
And still collecting rain water.
View from rear steps.
