Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
In every person there is a sun. Just let them shine. Socrates Shine is the prompt for this week's photo challenge and Nancy Thanki asks us to share a photo with a sparkly shine.

Local = Put your money where your house is Local is the prompt for this week's photo challenge and Jen H asks us to share what “local” means to us, and show where our heart is. “Home” is more than where we sleep at night. It is a place that is familiar and comforting, and it gives us …

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Debbie
Water, water everywhere. I have had just about enough of water, as I have mentioned in my last few posts. I don't mean to whinge but it has been a very wet spring with our annual rainfall usually 985mm a year. So far this year we are already well over 1200mm with almost 3 months of the year …

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Debbie
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday On this very spot used to stand my favourite tree, 'bendy tree' which I would silently greet every time I went out for a walk. Today on my walk this pile of newly harvested trees was in its place. The thing is that my bendy tree was a gum tree, not a pine …

Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Any suggestions for a good caption to this photo? Debbie
Welcome to Wordless Wednesday Although it is supposed to be wordless and all about the photo today, I must tell you about this photo. Although it looks, to me anyway, like a photo of a horse's eye, it is actually a hole in a timber table. We were celebrating Father's Day at a local vineyard and …

The sweet curve of a baby's cheek, not to mention those curvy eyelashes! This little cutie belongs to friends and she was quite relaxed lying in my husband's arms. I just love the softness, innocence and trust that exudes from her and I can't help but be inspired with hope for the future. She has …

It's Phriday - in the capital We were in Canberra earlier in the week, with my daughter, son in law and some friends from the UK, and we went for a walk up Mt Ainslie. It was the first time we've walked up Mt Ainslie and considering we've visited Canberra many times, and like walking, I …

Colourful building facade Adding a bit of colour to your Monday so that it's not too mundane. It's a public holiday for most of Australia today, thanks to the Queen's birthday celebrations, so it's definitely a great way to start the week. This building is in Canberra and the size of this facade was really …

It's Phriday - winter is here! Last week I enjoyed a few quiet days at home and the weather was just perfect for it. It was foggy, wet, cold, miserable and grey and I loved it! I lay in front of the fire, I read a book, I went sploshing in the rain, I watched …

It's Phriday - raindrops keep falling! Do you like the feel of rain on your face? I enjoyed a walk in gentle rain this morning and have to say how nice it was to have liquid on my face which wasn't coming from an orifice on my face, namely my left eye which has been …

It's Phriday - time for a laugh While in Sydney for meetings, my work colleague (and friend) decided to play a practical joke on me. This involved her 'trashing' my hotel room. As her room wasn't ready I generously let her use mine until she could get into her room. She thanked me for my …

Incy wincy spider This was the sight I saw as I went to open the fridge this morning. A big huntsman spider had made himself quite comfortable on the fridge door and wasn't fazed at all when I went to open it. I jumped and squealed but he didn't seem to mind that either. He blended …
