Yesterday we attended the first of three weddings we have in 2018. Kevin and I made our way to Royston and checked into our hotel to change into our finery! I took three outfits and two pair of tights, both which ran as soon as I carefully put them on, resulting in a bare leggedContinue reading “The first of three weddings in 2018”

A trip to the City
Today I travelled up to London on a beautiful sunny day to a reunion of a few from the Bank that I used to work at. The bank closed in 1990 but my memories of working there are so fond. Wonderful people, and I met Kevin there with a job I loved. I know thereContinue reading “A trip to the City”
January-sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me….
2018 has been momentous so far, and January has seemed very long, but February has settled in nicely and hopefully Spring is around the corner! The last ten days have been very busy at work and there hasn’t been much time to do much. Last year at this time we were preparing to go toContinue reading “January-sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me….”
Surprise, surprise
And still the surprises keep coming this year! Some unexpected news at work meaning opportunities and challenge. Great to look holistically at situations. Watching our children grow into the adults they have become is awesome. We have caught up with good friends this week, where laughter and food have been plentifully enjoyed. Good news quiteContinue reading “Surprise, surprise”
2018 so far
The year is only 14 days old and it has brought surprises aplenty and excitement too! A visit to reacquaint my parents with Marion, my second mother in law, after, we guess, 8 1/2 years. Bouts of “Aussie” flu for me, Kevin and joe! The decorations came down last week and this past week hasContinue reading “2018 so far”
2017
This last year has been well documented by me, but I will post a few photos here too! As is the way, there has been highs (many) and lows (few), but that is life. How we cope with the lows is the important thing, with support of family and friends. Reading through my blogs forContinue reading “2017”
Photo Challenge 2017
Wow what a year! Engagements, big birthdays and anniversaries! I’ve visited some wonderful places, seen some amazing cricket and rugby. Met some fantastic people and had precious time with my family and friends! Just awesome, and with 3 weddings in 2018 and one to prepare for in 2019 possibly, I’m just so full of excitement!
And back to work
Today I arrived at my desk at 7:15. My desk was remarkably uncluttered, so that was a positive. Emails,signing and seeing colleagues proved a bit of a curate’s egg. Yesterday was not good as I felt lethargic and off kilter. I have been anxious about returning to work and that is how it was manifestingContinue reading “And back to work”
Last meal at the Harbour Grill
We opted to eat in the hotel and as it was raining it was a wise decision. Food was delicious, company great and we toasted the holiday, and Colin’s upcoming big birthday next Sunday. We again found ourselves talking about our families, the joy the heartache but also immense pride! It has been awesome andContinue reading “Last meal at the Harbour Grill”
Part 4 Kowloon
We were taken back to central and caught the ferry back to Kowloon. This is on the blue route and our final bus ride of the day. More history more shops, more skyscrapers! Back to our hotel walking to get my daily quota in!
HK part 2 Aberdeen, Stanley and Repulse Bay
The green route covers the North of the island with a good commentary of the history of HK. It seems less urbanised than the South, more of a holiday location. Again I was challenged with twists and turns but breathtaking views! As part of this route we enjoyed a Sampan ride- part 3
Honkers Shonkers Bus tour part 1
Bus trips today. First one by shuttle bus to the ferry. We arrived at central and picked up the red route. There will be 4 parts to this and hopefully the photos, whilst void of noise, hustle and bustle and smells will convey a flavour of Hong Kong! Back at central we go on theContinue reading “Honkers Shonkers Bus tour part 1”
Hong Kong 🇭🇰
After a flight and fitful sleep we arrived in Hong Kong. After getting our luggage we sourced a taxi to get us to Kowloon where our hotel was. Our rooms would not be ready until 2pm so we just had 4 hours to kill. There was a shuttle bus and we had a map, soContinue reading “Hong Kong 🇭🇰”
Ashes to Ashes, Gabba to Hong Kong…..
To see a day of Ashes test cricket, in Australia, was one of the reasons for the timing and destinations of this holiday. We both love cricket, Kevin a very competent bat back in the day! Colin and him met at school, with Colin a demon fast bowler (well he is Jamaican) So tickets wereContinue reading “Ashes to Ashes, Gabba to Hong Kong…..”
