\ As a sharp contrast to the humid heat here in Sydney, here are some photos of my gorgeous two nephews who live in Nairn in the far north east of Scotland. My sister Morag took these photos at the great playground by the sea one frosty winter’s morning. Thanks […]
\ The best idea for a fundraiser I’ve ever had was the sponsored wedding one. The idea is that Paul and I could (finally) pledge our troth and ask people to donate money to a charity instead of giving us presents. Clever, huh? The sponsored wedding won’t be done in […]

\ Say hello to the brand new SeaSack. It’s a huge beach bag, but also a backpack. You can fill it full of beach equipment – even foldaway beach chairs and boogie boards – then pop it on your back to walk down to the beach. Or in this case, […]

\ The thing about Canberra is… there’s so much to do with kids. My daughter, a girlfriend and myself recently scooted down for the weekend. Here’s how we kept ourselves amused, and very well fed. Friday We drive down from Sydney to Canberra (advice on this road trip here ) arriving […]

\ So it struck me as we walked along this muddy farm track, that my wee lass has never really spent much time in mud. What fun she’s missed! A lovely cousin of mine has a house that was originally an old farm steading. We visited one day and went […]

\ We’re back! Just… The flight should touch down at 6am on Monday so I’m scheduling this post before leaving Scotland. It’s always nice to bring a souvenir or two home from your travels, and a few wee presents for family and friends. And this time, I’ve brought some gifts from […]
\ The Spa Upside down son Red day special red foods Thanks to Trish for hosting the weekly Wordless Wednesday linky, pop over to see some great photos from all over Australia. See my post on Club Med Bali’s Body and Soul retreat here. I’m busy at the Digital Parents […]
\ Typical Scottish April weather we’ve been having here. Maybe a wee bit nippier than usual. There’s sunshine when it’s raining, then lowering grey skies, then wee blue patches. Always changeable, very breezy. You need to be prepared for all possibilities, and go nowhere without a waterproof, a hat, scarf […]
\ Where better to read about photography than on a flight overseas? I had bought a couple of ebooks from Digital Photography School but had never studied them in detail. So I’ve been reading up on photography whenever I’ve been on a plane this year. Click on the photos to […]
