Today is our fifteenth wedding anniversary, a milestone that almost slipped past without either of us realising! We have never been ones to celebrate our anniversary…being in April, we were often away on holidays anyway. But 15 years deserves some recognition! It sure has been a hell of a ride…when we said our vows “in […]

Please note: the following views are ours, based on our own experiences. This post was rather difficult to write as we don’t want to offend or upset anyone…please be assured it is just based on what we observed and felt. I always thought that organ donation was a positive process…something good coming from an event […]

I have plenty of 35mm film cameras, and few medium format ones, in my slowly growing collection, but there was another format I wanted to try…110 film. Kodak introduced the 110 cartridge film in 1972…it was aimed at the amateur family snapshot kind of photographer. It is compact and very easy to load. However, the […]

A little while ago, I introduced you to our new little furkid, Toby…the cutest pup you have ever seen! So after excitedly counting down the days, the time had finally came to pick up our boy. Here is what his first week was like…and boy, it was a big one! Started by picking him up […]

Back in November 2015, I wrote about a clever little leather case, suitable for a GroPro Hero 4. I used that case constantly…in fact, the only time my GroPro was out of it was when I had to charge it, or put it in a waterproof case. The case in question was made by Travler, […]

This weekend, we came across something we have never experienced before. By chance, we discovered the Queenscliff Rod Run 2017, which is held annually by the Geelong Street Rodders! We have been to car shows before…I adore vintage cars…but have never seen anything like this. Queenscliff is a small coastal town on the Bellarine Peninsula…it […]

I am Australian…I was born here as were my parents, their parents and their parents before that. My husband is first generation Australian…his parents were born in England…but he is also a proud Australian, just like me. We love our country and can’t imagine living anywhere else… Tomorrow is Australia Day….the 26th January. It used […]
Melbourne in Mourning
By Sarah in Melbourne Tags: 20th January 2017, Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne
Yesterday the unthinkable happened right in the middle of the world’s most livable city. It was something that just doesn’t happen here…except it does, and it did. One person drove their car deliberately through lunchtime & school holiday crowds in the Melbourne CBD, killing at least 4 and hurting many more. I say at least […]
