Earth Hour





Last night we celebrated Earth Hour at the Prince Street Palace. It was a lovely evening spent with great friends, housemates and family eating delicious antipasto nibbles, drinking Pinot Noir and chatting by candlelight. Not only are candles saving electricity, they are so darn pretty and the green embodiment of ambiance.

The Danish word 'hyggelidt' describes our evening of close friends, food, wine and candlelight pefertly. 'Hygge' can be loosely translated to 'cosiness' or 'tranquility' and it is to Danes what backyard barbeques are to Australians (specifically Queenslanders). It's uniquely Danish and anyone who has even spent time in Denmark will understand the true tranquility and cosiness of hygge.



We also had delicious sundaes for dessert thanks to Nikki. Chocolate and vanilla icecream, maltesers, 100's & 1000's and homemade Raspberry sauce that was to die for! All round a perfect evening.
