A bit overdue, but let’s start with a bit of this: Footprints in the sand going this way and that, Random patterns drifting and seeking. Seeking the ocean, Seeking each other, Seeking new connections, Seeking fun and revitalisation. So many footprints and so many stories Soon to be washed away, Only to start afresh the … More All good things must come to an end (for now)
Yes, I know (like most of those unforgettable Christmas ditties we all love) that Christmas is now long gone, but this little missive is a catch up on the the festive period, fun and frolics back in Sydney and a chance to reflect on our first Christmas ‘down under’. What beautiful moments there have been … More Step into Christmas
This offering is all about the homeward stretch back to Sydney in readiness for Chrimbo. Hang on a minute – whaaat?! How can it be that time already? Yes, the weeks are flying by but lots of adventures still to recall and look forward to. One thing that has been interesting along the way has … More Homeward bound (well Sydney home that is!)
Haul away, you rollin’ king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, Oh hear me sing! We’re bound for South Aus-tra-lia Yes pop-pickers, as per the beaut of a Cornish sea-shanty suggests, we have indeed been bound for South Australia and have crossed yet another state border (I was ready for it this time) after what … More A long and (not very) winding road
Having ended my last missive with our arrival in Perth, we since traversed the country from the west coast back to the east to spend time with Will, Nicky and Caden in Sydney. What a blessing and a joy it has been too. So this time we’ve been focussing more on people than places – … More Coast to Coast
First off. I did the most wonderful blog for you – took me ages – and, even though I say it myself, it was a stonker. However, as I may have mentioned before, WIFI is a little bit eratic at the best of times and after several hours work, I had not accounted for the … More A tale of 5 cities (or towns)
Luckily for you, I’ve struggled to find internet over recent weeks, so you’ve been spared my musings. Ha ha, not any longer! This is a short one though so bear with me. Last time I mistakenly advised our mileage in old money – miles – so not 3000 miles achieved but 3000 kms. Not that … More The only way is up! (and then across and down a bit)
Last time I posted I was reporting of snow in the Blue Mountains. Now we’re in the high end 30 degrees in the Top End aka Darwin. Yes, 4,000 miles in and we’ve made it to the top spot! Not the highlight though by any means as you will soon discover, but lots of things … More Well, a lot of stuff has happened since last time…
Well, right now actually Will & Nicky down under!! Yes, here we are – we finally made it. What’s more it’s time to say “G’day” to Bondi Bob the campervan who has been carefully cared for by said Will & Nicky whilst we have been unable to get across to world to see them all … More When will I see you again….
Well, here we are on our last day in Scotland and our NC500 adventure – and what an adventure it has been! I know it’s almost the end of the trip for two reasons: 1) We’re definitely travelling downhill as we’re going faster (or is that the most amazing roads – more on that later) … More You take the high road…..
