Well it's a very cold Monday morning and I wasn't too pleased to have to drag myself out of my lovely warm bed earlier, when it was still dark outside - I was a tad grumpy. However by the time I reached work I was met with this gorgeous sunrise... it helped to ease the [...]

Because I love…
... KOOKABURRAS! I don't know what it is about these birds, but they fascinate me. I was lucky enough to see a few on my last trip to Australia. They frequented the garden of the house that we were staying at quite regularly. They would appear in the early morning and I would sit as [...]
Travel with a purpose – Sukhothai, Thailand
Sukhothai was one of our last stops on our trip. We had just spent an incredible month in Myanmar and had traveled overland into Thailand through the Myawaddy/Mae Sot border crossing to get to Sukhothai. The purpose was twofold - 1) to get back overland to Bangkok as our flight was departing from there - [...]
A Welcome Travel Interlude
Daily Prompt - Temporary Whilst we wait for our next flight at Singapore's Changi airport I take the opportunity to hang out in the butterfly garden to stretch my legs and get some fresh-ish air. The break is very welcome after a 14 hour flight and I temporarily forget about my weary body and mind [...]
Because I love…
...AUTUMN!! I always used to dread the onslaught of winter. I am a summer girl, always have been and always will be. But as I have gotten older, Autumn has somehow managed to creep into my affections! I don't seem to mind the fact it's getting colder and the nights are drawing in. With the [...]
Taming the frizz travel style
Daily Prompt - Tame I have always had a love/hate relationship with my hair... well it's probably more like a hate/hate relationship (how many people can relate to that??)! I have thick, coarse, frizzy hair and I have struggled my whole life to tame it! In the days before straighteners... well I can't even think [...]
Fear of flying versus love of travel…which wins??
For me love of travel will usually win…..although this can mean that getting somewhere can be a little traumatic to say the least! I have a fear of flying – which is not unusual know! But when you love travel as much as I do, it can kind of get in the way. It's not [...]
The Blogging Game
Daily Prompt - Tentative When I saw that today’s daily prompt was tentative, my thoughts immediately went to my blog, which I started a few months ago. I was reminded of the uncertainty I felt when I first set it up (and which is still there!), it took a long time to even have the [...]
The Power of Noise
Daily Prompt - Crescendo We were sat looking down on the track, along with a few thousand other spectators. Our view was of the finish line, so we really shouldn’t have been worried about whether we might have a restricted view at all, it couldn't have been better! We had been lucky enough to obtain [...]
Banishing the lazy demons with yoga
Our yoga teacher told us to lift our arms and open our hearts, elevating our chests up and out. As we all tried to concentrate on our breathing and bring ourselves onto our mats, I realised that I had missed my weekly yoga classes. I had been lazy in the past few months and had [...]
