I love a market…always have…and I particularly love markets that are unique, and showcase local designers and businesses. As you can probably guess, I love clothes, jewellery, bags, hats..and I love finding items that you can’t find in mainstream shops! That’s a lot of love! So I got a little excited when we were in […]

When we travel, we much prefer to stay in places that have a bit of character…nothing worse then those clinical hotel rooms, where you can’t get any fresh air! We also like to be able to cook and eat in, rather relying on eating out…I am severely lactose intolerant and trying to find somewhere that […]

For us, Easter means music…of the […]

A couple of days ago, we were strolling through the lovely walkways of Southbank in Brisbane, QLD, and we came across the huge observation wheel…the Wheel of Brisbane. The Wheel of Brisbane was built in 2008, as part of the 20th anniversary of World Expo 88 and the 150th anniversary of the State of Queensland […]

Did you know that there is a large music community….involving brass instruments and percussion…that exists right across Australia? Every week, groups of musicians of all ages, and all abilities, gather together for rehearsals in band rooms…I am referring to the little known, and little recognised, brass band community! Brass bands are very much a part […]
