Goodbye Australia and New Zealand

After 12 wonderful weeks it is finally time to say goodbye! My bags are  packed and I am ready for the off. It will be hard to return to my quiet life after so much activity but I know I have lots of friends to catch up with and I already have more travels booked for the Autumn. Not quite so dramatic this time!!

My thanks go to all my hosts.

Louise in Annerley

David and Joyce in Wellington, New Zealand

Alex, Clare, Ruby and Archie in Sydney

Rhonda and Dennis in Cairns

Cheryl in Bundaberg 

Jae, Tristan and Ollie in Moorooka

Without their generosity and kindness this trip could not have happened.

Also a big thank you goes to all friends and relations who have supported me through the last year as I have put this trip together. Your trust in my ability to manage this trip on my own has been invaluable. I never dreamed that I could tackle so many adventures alone.

Of course the main reason for this trip was to spend time with Richard, Kerri, Josie and Elliot. After six years since I last spent time with the children it has been so lovely to reconnect with them and have a picture of their busy lives now. They all seem to live their lives to the full with lots of friends and activities. They also have 3 new pets. Milo and Oreo the friendliest cats I have ever met and happy Dusty, the smooth haired Border Collie, who loves anyone prepared to throw a ball all day or provide biscuits!

It has been such a wonderful 12 weeks with so many special memories for the future.

Thank you everyone xxxx

I made it!

 Hi everyone This is my first post so hopefully it will reach all my family and friends. I have finally made it to Brisbane having survived the long flight and enjoyed my first 2 days with the family. I booked the 'Meet and Assist' at the airport  which proved invaluable. I would have meant several long walks but instead was treated to a ride on a buggy. Flight staff amazing at looking after me. I would thoroughly recommend Singapore Airlines for caring staff. I arrived in Brisbane just before 7am and 'hit the ground running'. First a detour to see an electricity box which controls the traffic lights. Josie had a winning design for decorating one and she and friends had spent the last 2 weekends painting it. It should remain for about 8 years before the next winners get the chance to paint their designs. Quick introduction to new cats and dog before a visit to one of Richard's colleague's house where I shall be staying for the next 3 weeks while she is in Scotla...

First days in Brisbane

Image
               It was an absolutely beautiful sunrise as we flew into Brisbane airport at 7am on 5th May House sitting for Richard's boss at present so quiet mornings while the family prepare and leave for work and school each day.  Electricity boxes control the traffic lights at junctions and are repainted by local members of the public roughly every 8 years. People are invited to submit designs and then the best are chosen. This year Josie's design was one of those chosen and the final coat of UV varnish was put on the day I arrived. She had been helped by sev eral friends over the past 2 weekends to complete the painting.           Tuesday night Steel Band practice. Josie on a stool to reach the bass drums and Elliot in navy top with green trim on tenor drums. Sounded brilliant.                                       ...

goodbye to straddie

Image
This week has disappeared so quickly and now it is time to leave Straddie for Brisbane. The final day is spent with a visit to the dunes on Frenchman's beach. This time I make it to the bottom of the 290+ steps and after a final wander along the beach I make it back up to the top with relative ease (that doesn't mean to say I didn't have a couple of short stops to take yet more pictures). Richard and the children had gone on to the top of the big dune for a final run down to Cylinder beach. We met back at the house to pack the car.                                    Frenchman's beach.                  There was the final goodbye to the gentleman living opposite and his dog, Turbo. Turbo and Dusty had enjoyed playing together all week. A quick visit to Amity Point for Richard and the children to jump off the jetty for the final time. D...
