This is the kind of stuff Sam Neill would be subjected to on his visits to our place. Elly-May and the kids made this film one Christmas. Such a good sport our Sam, I miss him.

Good to get up to sing for a special birthday. Looking forward to getting up with the Jane Barnes Band next weekend on Hayman Island.

We have to make, and take, the time to spend with special friends, old and new. What a fine table to start my weekend. Have a great one.

Dolly came along to school pick up today. It actually feels like Perisher Valley car park. I can’t believe that I’m freezing in a wooly jumper and Dylan’s running around in just a shirt.

What’s for dinner? A veggie feast I’d say. We’ll certainly be sharing this haul. Everything from the garden tastes out of this world. Nothing better than fresh, organic and homegrown. Have a great week.

A very happy Scotsman here. Corned beef with mustard and white sauce is one of my favourite meals. Growing up we didn’t have much, but we had boiled cabbage and it was a fight to see who got to drink the water it was boiled in. I still love it, it’s still a treat.

One of us isn’t Scottish… can you guess which one? Haha. It really was a beautiful day here in the Southern Highlands.

Although it’s been freezing, the days have been sunny. I guess with that comes spectacular bunches of flowers. I wonder who arranged them? Hope this brightens up someone’s day.

We have a big family, and Sundays are when we can all get together. Sometimes special friends are in town, and we’re lucky to enjoy their company. Hold the ones you love close to you. Tex and Kristyna, we love you guys.

Always a treat to get a visit from this wee man. Teddy in the house. Time for crumbs in the bed.

All of a sudden, the daffodils are flowering. It’s going to be -1°C tomorrow morning… I hope the ones that have already opened survive.

Getting motivated to jump in the pool on a cold and frosty morning is a hell of a lot harder than on a Thai beach holidays… but totally worth it.

I was lucky enough to be at my granddaughter - Ruby Rodgers’ EP showcase tonight in Sydney. The room was packed, and she absolutely crushed it. I can’t wait for you all to hear the EP. It’s fantastic… I’m so proud. Single, ‘Sixteen’, out now. Pre-save / pre-order the EP: linktr.ee/rubyrodgersm...

I love seeing the mist rise over the river. I’m usually still sleeping at this time of day but got up early with Dylan for France vs England. Dylan gets to dunk pastries in hot chocolate, I get a healthy Scottish bowl. Steel cut oats with chia seed porridge, berries, bananas & Greek yoghurt.

My granddaughter Ruby has just released the title track from her upcoming EP, Sixteen, and I couldn't be prouder of her. Give the new single ‘Sixteen’ a listen + pre-save the EP now, on all streaming platforms here: rubyrodgers.lnk.to/sixteen

There’s a serious chess match going on. We only have a few days left before our holidays come to an end. In the meantime we’re making the most of our time with the grandkids, the delicious Thai food, pool time and beach walks. Happy peaceful Sunday everyone.

When you play Marco POLO, and your voice is too loud.

Chilled refreshing green coconuts to cool off after golf lessons. Waiting patiently for mango sticky rice. Pool games. I love that the kids are off their phones and devices. That’s a real holiday.

Cold Chisel’s “Circus Animals” caravan alive and well. Happily residing in a backstreet Narrabri.

Tennis lessons today and Bella and Dylan look like a couple of emojis after their session. We look like mean grandparents chilling and keeping cool by the pool.

Day 2 with the kids… daily morning beach walk. Fishing boats just in and monks on their alms round. A taste of market breakfast and time for Muay Thai. So far holidays are going well. These two are so well behaved

Beach holiday Day 1 with Bella and Dylan. Pool time then roast duck noodle soup.

Here’s a new clip from two of my favorite people. My brother Swanee, and my other brother Ian Moss. I love seeing them sing together. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/tsZQzPVCL60

We’ve said ‘Sayonara’ to the Land of the Rising Sun, and have landed smack bang into Bangkok traffic. Dylan and Bella are on their way to spend holidays with us. It’s the first time away together without their parents. Wish us luck.

Teddy, who thinks he’s a Samurai now, and the family are staying in a beautiful Ryokan in Japan. Everywhere you look takes your breath away. But I am expecting a ninja to bust through the paper doors and start trouble at any minute

Teddy’s dad, Jimmy, and I went to a knife making lesson in Kyoto today. It was incredibly hot and equally difficult but we both managed to get one made. It gives me a whole new appreciation of a good knife, and all blacksmiths in general. It nearly killed us
