Reflections on A Year Gone By

March 18, 2018July 1, 2018 / Jane / Leave a comment

It's a funny thing - blogging when you live in another country. In Australia, I was backpacking and wanted to remember my journey and share it with others. When you permanently live abroad it enters into debate of 'am I still travelling'? 'what box does it fit in' 'what should I tag my posts'? Is … Continue reading Reflections on A Year Gone By

It's been a busy few weeks...! As most of you know, we made the decision to move to New Zealand in January. It has been no mean feat to finish up working, pack up an entire flat of contents and pack for a significant extended time in a new country! Suffice to say there has … Continue reading Packing Up…

Conquering Castles

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater...!' Do you know the origins of this phrase? I learnt the answer to this on our recent trip to the Scottish Mining Museum. The museum on my list for a while, we finally made it there last Sunday. Our second attempt, the first we were too late … Continue reading Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater?

Wonderful Wanderings

July 6, 2015February 5, 2017 / Jane / Leave a comment

That need to explore hasn't left me... I am still shocked by how much of my own country I haven't seen...! Since returning, I have been doing my best to rectify that... As far north as Dundee, to Blackpool and Croome in the South, to trying to cover a bit more of Edinburgh's bounds... A … Continue reading Wonderful Wanderings
