Perhaps not quite hero material, but there is something very soothing about watching a tradesman wielding heavy machinery :-) Now if I can just do something about the drone of an orbital sander…

Wounded warrior
My wounded warrior. A morning on the beach, watching the sunrise while chasing sticks, got a little physical this morning. The fight ended up being a draw although Zeus had possession of the stick so he thinks he’s the winner. A trip to the vets, one injection and a course of antibiotics later and he’s Continue reading
Starting Over
My guest today is Miles ‘Ratty’ Rattenbury, a simply gorgeous hero in Sue Moorcroft’s novel ‘STARTING OVER’ which recently released in Australia. As those who follow my blog will know I’m a little partial to Regency Rakes – think heroes by Anna Campbell and Anne Gracie. But I do love a good modern day English Continue reading

A dog’s secret life
Ever wondered what your dog does when you’re at work?

Haycock Island, off Palm Cove, figures prominently in the action. The locals call it Scout Hat – Continue reading
Step back in time with Anna Campbell
It’s 1827. The Greeks and the Turks are locked in bloody warfare. Eventually, the Brits, the French and the Russians will force the Turks into surrender. It’s the last time a naval battle will be fought under sail alone. There’s plenty of action for the youngest sons of noble houses looking to make their way Continue reading
Rushing Roulettes
The RAAF Roulettes turned up at Mt Isa this afternoon just before we did. Apparently they put on an impromptu display before settling in for the night. (Times like this I wish I had a very large zoom lens…) We’ve requested another display tomorrow for our arrival at 08.30 am plus some photo opportunities, so Continue reading
End of day
I love being in the air as the day ends. I imagine the dark velvet of the night, like a thick rich doona, is being drawn over the world ready for sleep.
A Fragment of Lily
Today I welcome Lily to my blog. Her story, as told by Phillipa Fioretti in THE BOOK OF LOVE, took me on a journey through Antiquarian Bookshops and the streets of Rome. All the while I battled to contain my vintage frock envy… She re-introduced me to the delights of jam and toast (I’d fallen Continue reading
