Spring is in the air
This would have to be my favourite time of year, season wise. The weather is warming up, the days are getting slightly longer and the smell of pollen makes me so jittery because summer is coming.
I spent my weekend checking out the Windows to the World Embassy and High Commission Open Day, Soaking up the sun/ lack of sun between the clouds at Floriade with a picnic, walked around the Hustle & Scout Twilight Fashion Market, pizza dinner with friends, breakfast at Urban Food and lunching at a friend's house. I must say, I did a whole lot of eating!
Did I mention I managed to go to the gym somewhere in there? Although, I would have to live there for a week to make up for all the food I inhaled.
Any who, my boyfriend Tommy and I started off our Saturday morning at the open day. We picked up a Canadian Flag at the High Commission, had a look around and decided to make our way to the New Zealand High Commission next door.
We arrived just in time to do some wine tasting, semi lined up for a sausage sizzle that sold out and watched the Maori Culture group perform. I must say I get awfully jealous when I see young Maori kids singing and dancing.

Tommy and I met up with our friends Teena, Emily and Carly for a picnic. Tommy took most of these photos - what a good little photographer he is.

where do I start...?
I have finally joined the blogging world!
My beautiful friend's Teena, Emily and Carly have all been blogging for a while and I found myself visiting their blogs everyday, looking at new recipes, beautiful pictures and reading about everything and anything they would post. It became addictive. I HAD to read it. So there I was, at work on my lunch break, going through all the blogs catching up on new posts. It made me happy.
So here I am, with my very own fancy blog. The lovely Carly designed the entire thing. How amazing is she? It's simple and fresh. I can't imagine how many hours she has put into designing my little blog - thanks Carls!

Welcome
Welcome to 24 & New.
My name is Courtney, I am 24 years old and experiencing everything for the very first time, hence, "new".
From buying my first unit, moving into my boyfriends house and planning a two month holiday, just to name a few.
Here you will meet my favourite people, read about all things random and I may even capture some of my cooking skills..... I will definitely need to practice before I start sharing with you.
Follow me as I grow older and wiser.
