Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Warning: this post is about the closest I’ll ever get to writing something political. Paint the town orange someone said – so we did. Orange streamers, ribbons and signs adorn every signpost and fence – orange being the colour of harmony. Get a celebrity on board to help get the message out there someone suggested – so we …
Tumbarumba Tumba-bloody-Rumba shootin’ kanga-bloody-roos is a line from a well known Australian poem, The Integrated Adjective. It always makes me smile and think of our youngest daughter Eliza.

In looking back at my blog stats for 2016 I have been very surprised about what featured in my top 10 based on views.

And for a very good reason. This week we were informed that our jobs, as educators within correctional centres across …
It’s Phriday which means it’s time for a photo or two from my phone. After being away last week I arrived home just in time for Tumbafest, our town’s annual weekend festival of music, food and wine. My parents, my sister and her husband and my daughter and her husband were also staying for the weekend so …
Not the end of the world as we know it… don’t panic! The end of the birthday month, with my youngest daughter’s birthday this week. (The fact that she’s now in her late 20s doesn’t mean she stops being my baby girl!). As I mentioned in a recent post, I wasn’t expecting that, I wrote …
A very special post written by my daughter My youngest daughter, Eliza, has written her first ever blog post! We were together with family over the Christmas break and she presented me with a framed version of her post (below) for my recent birthday. She also said she’d like to share it on my blog as she’d really like …
