So the last two weeks Hubby has proposed a bit of spit ball plan. I love his half planned plans when he shares them with me. Now I know it sounds like I’m about to block his idea, but frankly it’s brilliant his plan. Now it’s me taking the idea and running it through myContinue reading “Early Retirement?”

Valentines Day
This is not some romantic post swooning about what a wonderful, romantic filled day today is. Frankly if you can’t treasure your beloved everyday I’m not sure you deserve them. I find that days like Valentines is more about marketing and making money. By all means please show your partner love and romance them but,Continue reading “Valentines Day”
Peace and Serenity
It amazes me every single time how much the Bush Block reconnects and recharges me. Sitting under the bush fig tree listening to the sound track that is the Australian summer. The call of the birds and the constant whirl of insects. Some sounds I know while others are a curiosity to my ears. EveryContinue reading “Peace and Serenity”
Learner Sewer
For as long as I remember I’ve always wanted to sew. My mother and great-aunt were both sewers and at various times would give me little lessons. However, I was impatient and just wanted to “sew stuff”! Years went by and I decided I was happy enough to just buy clothes or have my mumContinue reading “Learner Sewer”
Why do I run?
I’ve slowly come to accept that I am a runner. A label I never thought would apply to me. It certainly wasn’t an activity or sport I willing did as a child. Besides my younger brother was the “talented” track and field person in the family. However one day Hubby Dearest came home with aContinue reading “Why do I run?”
Biddy
I remember when Husband Dear first bought home this tiny red fluff ball of a kelpie puppy. She was about 6 weeks old, maybe 7, and was a gift to our oldest boy as a 2nd birthday present. Yes, we were that family that gifted our son his first ever dog. Now the puppy wasContinue reading “Biddy”
Growing Up
Sunday marked the birthday of my youngest son. He turned the big 13. Two months ago our eldest son turned 15. I remember giving birth and people saying to me “cherish every moment as they grow up quick”. At the time I was pretty blasé about that comment. Both boys were so little and timeContinue reading “Growing Up”
Rituals
Every morning Husband Dear and I always sit and have our morning cuppa, together. Before the cuppa the dogs are let out. This happens every morning. If this routine is missed or messed around with, it gives a weird vibe to the rest of the day! My rituals and that of my family give meContinue reading “Rituals”
Gratefulness
It’s been twelve months since Husband Dear became extremely ill. If that wasn’t stressful enough it all had to happen when the pandemic hit and we were in lock down. However, after twelve months I’ve continually reflected on what happened As a family we became a stronger unit. I love that my children are capableContinue reading “Gratefulness”
Photo Op….
So today I thought I would share some of my photos I took recently on a walk around my home town. I have always wanted to learn photography and now I try to make the time for photos. I also can’t thank my good friend who also helps with all the technical stuff around eitherContinue reading “Photo Op….”
