Wonderlusting around the world
My blogging buddy Miriam has compiled this list of places around the world to visit featuring posts from fellow travel bloggers. I’m thrilled to have my recent New Zealand cycling trip included in her post. Have a read and maybe add some of these places to your list of ‘must see’ travel destinations!
I need another lifetime to travel to all the places I want to see. To experience even a fraction of the wonders in the world.
Though I’ve traveled widely I’ve yet to see even half of my own country (hopefully that will be rectified next year) yet still the allure of overseas cultures and countries is strong.
Recently I was asked by fellow adventurer from A Wandering Memory what my top destinations I’d love to visit are. So here they are, together with the bloggers who inspire and bring these places alive for me.
Sit back, grab a cuppa and prepare to be transported around the world.

Relax and unwind – Weekly Photo Challenge
This sunset! Relax is the prompt for this week's photo challenge. As Hakan B says: Life can be stressful. Work commitments, family trouble, financial obligations: the list goes on. And sometimes, it can all get a little too overwhelming. That’s why it’s so important to make time to just relax. Whether through meditation, a quiet walk, …

Mantra for the future
As our redundancy date draws closer the farewells have begun. I have just two weeks to go! After a lifetime (well 22 years in the one workplace anyway) it is a massive change to come to terms with. All my staff are taking redundancies so it will be the end of an era. I was completely …
