How does a hot summer’s day, a hammock and a large tree sound? Relaxing, peaceful, delightful and comfy!

Welcome to the Sir George in Jugiong Come on in…. We were travelling down the highway on a hot summer’s day and decided to stop for refreshments in a little town just minutes off the main road, but alas our usual eatery was closed on Tuesdays! What to do? Well, we walked further up the road and discovered the Sir George,…
Today is a big day. I’ve decided it qualifies to be called Memorable Monday. Why? My husband turns 60 He officially finishes his 39 year teaching career today We had 2 of our 3 grown up daughters and his parents and his sister here to celebrate with him. Our other daughter in UK phoned in for the party 🙂 So…
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 have my own thoughts but I’d…
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, yellow and orange. It was…
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 a parade down the main…
Happy New Year greetings to one and all! This week’s photo challenge is all about being resilient and Ben asks us to share a photo of something that has endured.

Oh. My. Goodness. This week’s photo challenge is all about New Horizons. It’s something that’s been on my mind for quite some time and here it is as the prompt for this week’s challenge! This week, we’re challenging you to think ahead and show your work in a representative photo. If you set New Year’s resolutions, give them some thought…
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, a day at the beach,…

This link will take you to a weekly wrap-up of all contributors – there are some very talented people out there!! I was born to explore this magic universe to devour life never let work make you a prisoner…
I am just about over the coldest wettest winter in years and the seemingly constant spring showers. I know this statement could be classed as blasphemous in some areas and I apologise for being so heartless. But I’m longing for some real warmth, some bright sunshine, some lightness – so when I saw the collection of words for today’s poem, it…
A picture which shows my State of Mind…as in all over the place! What another great theme for this week’s photo challenge! This week, let your inner world and the outside one converge in a photo. As I left on a big jet plane after spending a lovely week with my daughter, I snapped this shot of the bright lights below us.…
It’s Phriday and time for a photo or two from my phone. I have been away from home for the past week, looking after our youngest daughter. It’s been a delightful break from the real world. I don’t know about you, but for me February has been quite frantic and fraught. We went to a nearby beach on one our outings,…
