Switzerland and Paris

How good is train travel? For the last few trips to Europe the MOTH and I have prioritised train travel over flying as it is so user friendly, especially over relatively short distances. No long expensive taxi rides to airports and hours of checking in, security queues and potential luggage loss and delays! The European trains are very frequent, often fast and in places like Switzerland ON TIME!...

Exploring Provence

Our two week immersion in a Provencal village was finally going to come to fruition after talking about it for a few years. We hoped to use some of our French, feel part of the rhythm of a village and see if all the hype about the French way of life was true. Our first port of call on French soil however was Marseille....

Autumn is beautiful in the Berry area. Thank goodness people had the foresight to plant deciduous trees back in the day and long may little kids play in the crunchy leaf piles! 🍁🍂

How can it possibly be the end of May?

It's been three months since I last posted and some of you may have wondered where I had gone!! This year has really flown and our 5 week trip to Europe took up a big chunk of it. Prior to leaving we had a lovely week in Hobart with Loz and the girls where we loved walking them to school every day as they skipped and chatted and sang songs!...

A galloping start to 2026

After the craziness of Christmas it was nice to draw breath and relax into some easy summer days spent at the beach, the pool and catching up with friends. Lauren and family left for their planned holiday at Callala Bay for 5 nights and the house became eerily quiet. The dog slept. We read and pottered in the garden. The MOTH golfed....

Christmas 2025

What a couple of months we've had! It's been a hugely busy time full of family, friends and fun and lots of comings and goings and making up of beds and it's been wonderful. We are so grateful that they all still want to come and stay with us and enjoy our Crazy Cameron Christmas! Tom arrived from London on the evening of 12th December and went straight to Bondi Beach where he had previously lived for many years, to stay with his friend....

Mother Nature – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

November is the most beautiful month in our garden. In a good Spring we can enjoy the wisteria, followed by the roses, the gardenias, agapanthus and then the hydrangeas - all interspersed with salvias and lavender, gaura and lupins. The grass is green and a perfect backdrop to the flower beds. We always say that all the hard work is worth it in November and if we're lucky it will all still look great at Christmas....

Well, the wisteria has come and gone in the big winds and now it's the turn of the roses and the jacarandas to have their star turn in the garden. The hydrangeas and agapanthus are not far behind, there is a baby calf in the next paddock and the flies are back so I can affirm that Spring is definitely here....

Let's hope this perfect rainbow is signalling an end to the past few months of health worries for the MOTH. His new knee is fabulous, you can hardly even see the scar and it is doing everything it is supposed to do. The infection he picked up in hospital however has NOT gone away and has really become a huge nuisance....
