Farewell to summer... well sort of!


I’m interrupting my Myanmar posts to bring this announcement: 
Summer is over.
Australia is now officially in autumn!

Inverloch, Victoria - Summer 2016

We seemed to gallop through summer this year, but it was a good one.
Although come to think about it the reason it went by in a flash 
was I had December in the UK and February in Myanmar.
 I was out of Australia for one month of it!

Hey, quiet in the back rows.
I know some of you are smirking that I'm practically 'out of it' year round :)

Gunnamatta Ocean Beach - Mornington Peninsula
Of course just to lull us into a false sense of security 
with our sudden rude onset of early winter. 
It’s 34 degrees here in Melbourne today. 
With the same highs forecast tomorrow - Yay! 
It is the warmest start to March in eleven years, so it's not all bad here.

Portsea Ocean beach - Mornington Peninsula
Every Summer has it's own story. 
As you gallop towards yours in other countries, 
I wish you the best summer ever and some wonderful summer memories.

Now anyone seen my sunnies? I seem to have left them somewhere.

Have fun and take care

Linking with thanks at Our World Tuesday

Hello Summer 2023!

Hello Everyone I hope you are having a wonderful July whereever you are in the world. As it's been a wee while since I stopped by I thought I'd fill you in.  The last three months have been epic. Here is my flight schedule alone: Phuket --> Bangkok --> Singapore --> Melbourne --> Gold Coast (overland to --> Brisbane --> Sydney --> Phuket --> Bangkok --> London --> Paris (overland to Montpellier) --> London. As they say I haven't been everywhere yet but it's on my list! April ended up being an incredible month as I returned to Australia, thanks to a wonderful invite to attend a 7 night Detox at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in Queensland. Here is a little excerpt:  Gwinganna Detox Program I’ve been invited to join a  seven-night detox program  at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. They are winners of the  World’s Best Eco Spa Awards  (2022 World Spa Awards) and it is beyond exciting. Well, until I read the small print… So it’s no gluten, dairy,

Autumn Spice and everything nice!

Hey, what ever happened to Summer? I hope yours was lovely, mine was pretty amazing! It feels like my whole year has whizzed past in a flash, how about yours?  I've had a year of saying "yes" to everything offered to me. It has been exciting to put it out to the Universe to see where I should be. We feel very fortunate to be able to do this in my husband's early years of retirement. I'm just back in Asia from the US. I never feel my year is quite right without seeing British daffodils in the Spring and a pumpkin and the leaves turning in Autumn. Yay, the world nailed it this year, thank you.  Read on to find out what happened when my ultimate yes occurred on a trip to Montana to meet Ruth, an IG friend. I know Bloggers will smile and not be at all concerned, we've been meeting up around the globe for years, haven't we...?!  But let's just say some of my family and friends were, you're doing what?! But first some Little Wren updates! France I had so

It's a funny old world!
