As previously mentioned, with me back on the road and the kids planning their own overseas adventures it did feel like we were all heading in different directions and it was going to be a new experience for Marianne to be on her own, so understandably we were all feeling a bit uncertain about what […]

As previously mentioned one of the reasons for my delayed departure, and melancholy mood on leaving Sydney was due to the fact that both the kids had decided to head overseas while I would be travelling meaning Marianne would be home alone for the first time in a long time. Over the past eight or […]

For some strange reason you’re only allowed to go to Point Perpendicular lighthouse after 2.00pm until 8.00pm on Fridays and from 2.00am until 8.00pm on Saturdays and Sundays, this is because the rest of the time Beecroft peninsula is a live fire military reserve and presumably the army will only kill you on weekdays or […]

To the accompaniment of thunder and lightening we went […]

I’m not sure whether to classify Lloyd as a new or old friend but one thing’s for sure, after spending a few days with him and his lovely partner Shelly they are good friends now!
