Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
When I left you last time (Deb's World on tour part 1) I was just heading off for a road trip to see my youngest daughter. I was staying with my parents for a week and mum decided a few days at the beach would be nice. We would be able to see Eliza at the …

A Birthday Treat - even if you are turning 30! What special birthday food does your daughter want for her 30th birthday? Going on past birthday experiences I can guess. In case you missed my post last week, my second daughter is turning 30 in a few days time - that means I will have …

Have I told you before that I love autumn? I think I may have mentioned it once or twice in my blog! I took this photo today - I just love the reds, oranges and yellows in what I call a 'carpet of colour'. I also think that the nonchalant placement of the rake is …

Unconditional Love! Wasn't expecting that, by Jamie Lawson is my favourite song at the moment. I know that it's a love song and the lyrics and sentiments are for a 'love interest' but I still want to use it as the basis of my post in response to Eclectic Corner #10 Unconditional love - photography, quotes …

It's Tea Time again! I have recently visited my parents and the spare room has a delightful little book all about Tea Time on the bedside table. I took the opportunity to take note of some of the quotes in the book and offer them for your consumption at Justine's Tea Party. There are few …

I don't necessarily consider myself an early bird but I do love early morning runs/walks and usually on these outings I see the most amazing colours and light. I try to capture them on my phone so that I can recall the beauty at a later date. My most recent picture is the steps to the beach …

I took this photo last week at the beach quite by accident. The beach house has amazing views over the water and just seemed to stand out from all the other lovely houses. I love the clean lines and the starkness. What do you think? Black and white? Or colour? I'm very interested …

Afloat, to me at least, means water of some sort. Today while I was out running around the lake, I saw this beautiful sight. Two swans serenely afloat on the lake, in the crisp morning light. I had to stop and take a photo! They look so calm and serene don't they? I liken myself to a swan …

A throwaway shot, or purposefully unfocused? I took this photo last weekend at the Wedding Fair and had to retrieve it from my deleted album as I had dismissed it as too blurry. The only editing I have done is to make it a black and white shot and now there's something about it that grabs …

"Keep going.... you're the first older person to finish!" Sweet words to hear as I huffed and puffed my way towards the end of the 5km. Obviously meant to encourage me, these sweet words spurred me on to the finishing line with a bit more gusto! I don't consider myself old but when I looked around …
