https://youtu.be/LX__i-zeaWs Today is Australia Day (Thursday January 26) and every year an advertisement is made by Meat and Livestock Australia encouraging us to eat lamb. They are often controversial adverts and this year's ad is no exception, with many critics. What do you think of the advertisement? Do you think it's funny, insensitive, clever, inclusive, divisive..... I …

Now that I'm not working anymore 🙂 Mondays don't have that awful Manic Monday feel to them - in fact every day is pretty cruisy. This morning I had an early morning walk booked in with a friend and this gorgeous view was on display from my front door. I love the layers of rippling red, …

A recent trip to New Zealand was fantastic for many reasons - the views, the countryside, the people, the cycling and the fun of being away on holiday with good friends! I also enjoyed taking photos of the many rail sheds and signs along the way as we cycled the Otago Rail Trail from Clyde …

My last post had us leaving Dunedin on our way up the coast towards our eventual destination of Christchurch. As we left Dunedin we checked out the steepest residential street in the world, Baldwin Street, and a lookout over the city. At morning tea time we made an impromptu stop at Waitati, visiting a gallery and made …

Graceful: having or showing grace or elegance. Ben says, Gracefulness is a tricky quality — it manifests itself as an effortless, subtle harmony between a subject and its environment. For this week’s challenge, share something that says “graceful” to you. Giraffes say elegance and gracefulness to me, they have such long slender necks and legs yet they …

#FridayBookShare is an excellent way for book lovers (like myself) to share what we're all reading. It was created by Shelley Wilson and follows a set of questions, with the first letter of each spelling out the word Friday. Then, as it's posted on a Friday, it's known as Friday Book Share. As I'm an avid reader I'm …

The horse float door I spotted this door while out walking recently. Our little town (Tumbarumba) is quite a horsey place and at the time there was a week long pony club camp happening with youngsters and horses everywhere. It's usually a stinking hot week and this year was no exception! The camp culminates in …

On the subject of FUN: This video shows my daughters and I racing at a trampoline park while on holidays over Christmas. We're not at all competitive! I'm the little one in black just in case you can't pick me! One daughter yells out 'I've won' as she throws herself into the airbags, one does …

Greetings fellow bloggers! You may not know but my MOB status has been restored with baby daughter's wedding planned for October 2017 - in Fiji! I've been told (by guess who?) that I've been very slack in keeping everyone up to date with news of this happy event. Hence this post!! In my last post, The MOB …

Ambience: the character and atmosphere of a place I love this view of what's known in our little town as 'The Creekscape'. I think it shows character and atmosphere very well. It also gave my mood an uplift! I took this photo while out on my early morning walk the other day. The days have been …
