A few weeks ago I was shopping with my girls and noticed these unusual canvases. Normally I don’t buy tiny canvases but these ones have magnets on the back so I was intrigued. If you have read my last blog post you may have seen that I was finding it hard to find my motivation […]
Last week while my Mum was visiting Sydney we were able to go along to the John Olsen retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW. My knowledge of John Olsen’s work was limited before going. I had seen his work in documentaries and books but I probably wouldn’t have remembered his name if I […]
Driving away from Tamworth the scenery was beautiful. Rolling hills and greenery which is typical of northern New South Wales. I think that part of NSW might be my favourite. We decided to make one more stop overnight on our way home despite the fact that we could have driven straight home from there. We […]
After a lovely night at Mount Morgan we packed up and set off for our next stop, Goondiwindi. We were hoping to visit a couple there of which the husband is also a Congregational church minister. The only reason we went inland was to visit them. It was hot, inland Queensland is a hot place […]
Our destination for the first night on the way back down to Sydney was the small town of Lucinda. There are personal reasons for this choice and those who know us will get why. The scenery on the way there was absolutely breathtaking. After passing through the towns of Tully and Cardwell we headed along […]
We set off towards Cairns on the morning of January 4th with two extras in tow, my nephews. It was a great opportunity to spend some time with them as we don’t see them very often. Cairns is over 1600 kms from Brisbane and we had initially planned to do it over four days. Our […]
We’re back! We drove over 7000kms over four weeks and now we’ve hit the ground running as school went back two days after we drove in the driveway. I’ve spent this week washing, sorting and cleaning out. I’ve managed to get the photos off my phone and camera and sort them out a bit but […]
For my birthday last year my good friend Sarah sent me a voucher for Reverse Garbage (she knows me well!). Yesterday Michael and I went out there to see what I could find. There were all sorts of things to dig through. I was hoping to find some masonite board or 1970s office stationery but […]
For the first time in my life we were caught up in a big airport delay on our return to Sydney a couple of weeks ago. We arrived at the airport at the required time but realised when we walked in that the line was very long, maybe 80 metres! We couldn’t work out where […]
I had at least another three blog posts planned about our trip away but instead I have decided to make this one the second last (the final one being about our adventurous departure), sharing some photos showing some of the in-between time there. Above you can see the wonderful sunrise view I had every morning […]
