Happy New Year!
As many of you know, I’m something of a sunrise, sunset kind of woman. The sense of anticipation as the sun cracks the horizon is tempered by a certain regret as night overruns the day. New Year’s eve has a similar effect on me. Have I made the most of the year that’s been? Have Continue reading

As we motored down the channel towards southern Moreton Bay I thought I was destined for another stellar word count. Sadly the universe had other plans. In a benign part of the channel, having navigated under Continue reading
