Welcome to my way of lighting fires. I consider my method good because it works. I have decided to share The Rolfe Method with the world because I feel others who are have the shared responsibility of lighting and maintaining a fire (such as one in the family home in a cold climate region) should really have the skills to fulfil their responsibility. So please feel free to share this. Hey, lets go viral. I've written a step by step guide...... to The Rolfe Method of fire lighting. Eat it up.... read more

Now it's no secret that I like a bloke doing a blokey job - you know, something where he gets a bit dirty and looks like he's being capable. Yes, that's it - capable. But I've had my suspicions for a long time now, that no matter how much I like to look on at men in action, it's the men who don't usually get to get the opportunity to get their hands dirty who are secretly ITCHING to get out there and get some muck under their fingernails. I wouldn't mention the word desperate if I didn't have to. And so it brings me to my next blog post. It was getting towards the end of our two weeks with the Pughs when we found ourselves at home in Colo Vale facing a day of ... read more

Hooray! Our beautiful baby boy, Sunny, was born at 5.46pm on Monday 10 May, 2010 at Manly Hospital in Sydney. After a full on and rather traumatic labour that lasted about 20 hours too long... Sunny was born weighing 3.880kg, 53cm long with all his fingers and toes and needing a bit of oxygen for a while. He soon perked up and has been going strong ever since. He's amazing.. so, so, so perfect and gorgeous! FYI on the name Sunny - we called him that because we really just like the name Sunny. To us it gives a great feeling - of energy, warmth, life, growth, joy and happiness. Who doesn't feel happy when it's sunny? His surname is Campbell-Rolfe - James will remain James Rolfe and I will remain Erin Campbell as we always ... read more

The Sound Relief concerts were held in Sydney and Melbourne to raise funds for the vicitms of the Victorian bushfires - the biggest natural disaster Australia has ever experienced. I think they raised nearly $2 million from the Sydney concert alone. The line-up was awesome - these band were spread between Melbourne and Sydney and they had one band on stage while the other was on the massive video screens streaming live between the two. It worked really well because from where we were we couldn't really see our stage very well anyway! There was - Augie March, Architecture in Helsinki, Bliss N Eso with Paris Wells, Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees, Gabriella Cilmi, Coldplay, Hunters & Collectors, Eskimo Joe, Jack Johnson, Hoodoo Gurus, Jet, Icehouse, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson w/ Troy Cassar-Daley, Kings ... read more
