Welcome to Deb’s World

This is the world according to me…in photos, words, stories and sometimes even poetry. It’s a fun creative outlet, and as a bonus I get to meet some amazing bloggers from all around the world.

I love an adventure and I always seem to find one  – or it finds me!  It keeps me feeling young :)

I’m living life to the fullest and embracing the challenges that come with midlife! I’m now a new grandmother as well and I am as happy as a pig in mud.

Please take your time exploring my world – it’s full of stories, travels, adventures, photos and love.

I appreciate your visit, your likes and any comments or feedback you care to leave me.  Feel free to share the love 😊

I’m a traveller, constantly in motion and always looking out for the next adventure!

The smile on my face

Before my baby granddaughter Dottie was born (in England), she was called Wombat. I sent her this baby wombat and now it’s looking over her in Southmead NICU. I’m now on my way home to Australia and already miss little Dottie and her parents. But I’ll be back soon! . . . . . #prematurebaby #wombat #babywombat #prematurityis #prematurebirth #grandparenting #newbabyinourfamily #granddaughterlove #grandmalove #motheranddaughterlove❤️ #nicu #nicubaby #nicuawareness #learningallthetime #lifeslittletreasuresfoundation #nicusouthmeadhospital #somuchloveforthem #bornveryearly #babylove #tinybaby #bornat25weeks #blisscharity #southmeadnicu #onmywayhome #feelingsad😢 #nsyftravel #debsworld

Travelling is in my family's blood and since being forced into an early retirement (due to a redundancy) I'm making the most of my 'spare time'. Along with travel, Rotary, running, cycling, reading, photography and social media, I love to blog. The community network, continually learning new skills, and sharing ideas is a source of great joy. Other things that make me happy are my husband, our three grown up daughters and family. I now have a new granddaughter who makes me very happy too! Taking pleasure in the everyday beauty around us is essential to a happy life - take time to smell the roses! It costs nothing to smile :)
