Left home again…
So I finished the first draft of Beyond the Borders and thought I’d get a moment to celebrate and reflect, instead my body has decided it needs a head cold to to remind it how good life can be… Am now sitting in my hotel room in Sydney, trying to remember what I forgot to Continue reading
What will replace the hardworking Caribou?

Eden found
Standing in a queue to board a flight in Sydney recently, I was telling a colleague I needed to find a beautiful, serene spot near Cairns for my husband’s birthday. She suggested Eden House in Yungaburra. A gentleman in line behind us added his opinion and I was sold. Have just come back from the Continue reading
