What a great weekend we had! Me and David spent the afternoon at the animal sanctuary and saw some gorgeous baby rainbow lorikeets. Shimmy the adult lorikeet got a bit jealous when Penny was syringe feeding the bubs. I had picked up some free carry cages from Freecycle that I thought Penny could use, so [...]
David and I have been having loads of fun in our garden recently. I got David a brilliant book for Christmas on growing fruit, herbs and veggies and we have already created 2 potato towers to grow both red and sweet potatoes. We have also planted herbs, carrots, strawberries, onion, aubergines, lettuces and bok choi. [...]
Happy New Year Everyone! At last 2012 is here. It was a challenging 2011, most of which me and David spent thousands of miles apart, so it was lovely to spend this evening together. After 5 years in Australia I had never been to the Sydney fireworks, so it was time to do it. We [...]

She knows what terrible willpower I have with waiting for presents, so requested photographic evidence! Me and David [...]
I stopped at a petrol station on the way to work today and beneath the shelter was a huge moth struggling to walk across the concrete as sheets of rain pelted in sideways. I picked him up and brought him into the car to dry off. He seemed restless until I placed him on my [...]
Now we are settled into our Dundas Valley home I decided it was time to start helping animals again. Today was my first day volunteering at Fur ‘n’ Feathers animal sanctuary at Canoelands. It is about 50 minutes drive into the countryside from where I live and I had a great time! I had recently [...]
