Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Happily ever after....the day after my daughter's wedding looked a bit like this... I couldn't sleep in despite the huge day we'd had, so I got up and wandered around the marquee picking up bottles, collecting glasses, enjoying the presence of the wild brumbies and kangaroos, not to mention the shaft of early morning light. …

This is me being openhearted just for Hugh's photo challenge. This week the theme is open. I was visiting friends in Sweden a few years ago and this gorgeous heart structure was an unexpected find. Apparently many people get married or renew their vows on the beach nearby - it really was a lovely thing to come …

Hugh's photo challenge this week is about all things vintage. I was immediately reminded of my daughter's Vintage themed 30th birthday party a few years ago. I made the decision to attend the bash which meant travelling halfway around the world from Australia to England all by myself. It was the right decision. I had an amazing …

Hugh's photo challenge has Ronovan in charge this week with the prompt of season. To interpret as we see fit. So can you guess what season this is? I received my new 'Pins to Kill' tights in the mail earlier this week with 'Run Debbie Run' printed down the leg and I just had to take them out …

Hugh's photo challenge prompt for this week is group. Recently we were away for a few days and went out for a Sunday afternoon drive to a favourite little beach town. We came across this great group playing outside a cafe, so we found a seat, bought an ice cream and sat back to enjoy their …

Good morning! It's mornings like this that make getting up early for a run worth all the effort. I'm using this photo for Hugh's weekly photo challenge which this week is all about solitude. This photo says it all - the world is quiet, the light is beautiful, the views spectacular and I'm all alone …

Hugh's photo challenge this week is all about the gap. I love fences, the gaps and the views beyond. I have chosen a few of my favourites fence shots to share -the last one was a bit tricky! Taking a selfie as I climbed through the gap in the fence isn't as easy as it sounds …

Easter Bunny Cake It's Easter and Hugh's photo challenge this week is all about things that are sweet. I couldn't go past this photo (cue flashback) with 2 of my daughters at Easter time many years ago. Weren't they sweet? I used to make a white rabbit cake every year when they were little. My mother in law …
Cycling and sailing around the Southern Dalmatian islands in Croatia a few years ago produced some amazing views. It was also a great way to see some of the beautiful countryside as well as being a great adventure. When I saw Hugh's photo challenge this week with the prompt of calm, I immediately remembered this photo …

If you had a choice to use the hotel's fitness centre, (which just happened to be right opposite your hotel room) or go out into the city of Sydney for an early morning run/walk, what would you choose? I chose to go out into the city at the crack of dawn and left the delights …
