Wordless Wednesday #124
Wednesday is devoted to photos from Australia taken on one of my many #adventuresdownunder.
Wordless Wednesday #72
2021’s Wordless Wednesday is going to feature photos from my trips to Australia. Here’s one from 2019’s #adventuredownunder. Goodness knows when I’ll be able to add to these. I’m kinda hoping to visit again in 2022-23.
Silent Sunday #41
Today I’ve chosen another photograph from our 2019 #adventuredownunder showing Brisbane and its river.
Silent Sunday #20
I’ve been plundering my photo archives and try to find some of my better ones (no easy task!). I’m picking a few from Australia for the next few months. Bordered by the Brisbane river, the heritage-listed Brisbane City Botanic Gardens are located on Gardens… Continue Reading “Silent Sunday #20”
Must-see and do list for Brisbane
You didn’t think I’d finished with Australia, did you? I’ve got a couple more posts this week and then I’m going to cover our Thanksgiving Stateside. I do however reserve the right to return to Australia later in the year. I consider we were… Continue Reading “Must-see and do list for Brisbane”

This cookery book in the header photo is what inspired our visit to Byron Bay. My beloved had bought me this in Farrells Bookshop in Mornington Peninsula back in 2016 because he’d liked the look of the recipes, many of which I’ve since made.… Continue Reading “Inspired by The Blue Ducks”
Postcard from Brisbane V
Much as I love my better half, it’s sometimes nice to have time on my own. Friday morning I decided that my poor benighted feet deserved some pampering and booked a luxury pedicure and foot massage. It was sheer bliss – money well spent!… Continue Reading “Postcard from Brisbane V”
Postcard from Brisbane IV
Unbelievably, yesterday’s post only covered the morning of our second Wednesday In Brisbane. You may recall that the raison d’etre for our visit to this fair city was attendance at a major Dental Congress. We had to set up the company’s stand on this… Continue Reading “Postcard from Brisbane IV”
Postcard from Brisbane III
Our first week in Brisbane had been great fun and it fully justified us spending two weeks here to better appreciate the city and all it has to offer. The start of our second week (Wednesday) was a Bank Holiday in the CBD giving… Continue Reading “Postcard from Brisbane III”
