And the Jam champion is?
Phillipa did make this decision yesterday but I’ve been flat out at work, so apologies for the delay. “I’ve found the jam discussions intriguing. There are some jams mentioned that I’d love to get my sticky hands on and some that I would probably pass by. I’ve made a list and had a think and Continue reading

Storm clouds do have silver linings
Hard as it is for me to imagine, because in my world every cloud has always had a silver lining, sometimes life can smack you right between the eyes. If you see it coming, it may be possible to duck and minimised the pain. If you don’t, then best case, you only get egg on Continue reading

Lets hope my husband does… I took this photo of a sunrise over Yorkey’s Knob a couple of weeks ago, but only downloaded it today. Didn’t realise what a deep pink the Continue reading
Cool Ice, Hot Nights!
We were sat in the pool tonight sipping a chilled sauv blanc (as you do in Cairns in the middle of January) contemplating what our less fortunate relatives might be doing. The crowd in the UK would be out shovelling snow off their footpath so they could get to their car, to scrape the ice Continue reading
G that’s disappointing…
At the risk of sounding like Bettina Arndt I have to ask if the weather or other historical (or is that hysterical) factors are to blame for recent sexual behaviours in France and Britain.

As the big maxi yachts manoeuvred for position, like graceful partners in an elaborate quadrille or waltz, I couldn’t help but compare them with Jessica Watson on board Ella’s Pink Continue reading
