It’s official. The house we called our happy home for the last fifteen years will soon be looking after a new family. The walls and floors are gleaming, the windows are sparkling and the garden is a riot of glorious winter colour. It looks better than it did when we first bought it – of Continue reading

Farewells and new beginnings
It’s my last night in our house. It feels empty and a little sad without GW and Zeus. I knew I’d have mixed emotions when the time came to pack everything up, downsize and move onto a boat. Good to see I haven’t disappointed myself…. It’s not that I don’t want to turn into a Continue reading
Simple notes
Sometimes the universe delivers lessons in the strangest of ways. We were invited to a friend’s house this afternoon to listen to a recital by two of her students.

The beachfront is already crowded – ANZAC Day Dawn Service at Trinity Beach is special. As we listen to a Continue reading
Blue Skies
Just another glorious day in paradise. What’s the weather like with you? 🙂
Thank you, Stephanie!
A huge thank you to Stephanie, Doug and the vet nurse from Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital at Trinity Beach who turned out at 7pm on Good Friday to dislodge a brisket bone from Zeus’s throat. You guys are wonderful! And thanks to our understanding dinner guests (including my sister who headed back to France in Continue reading
