An update – 3 January 2021
This blog is meant to be about my travels around the world, but since Covid has put brakes on that, I now use it for challenges and photos from archives and from Western Australia.
Family life for me now is taking great joy in my two beautiful grandchildren, a two and a half year old boy and a three month old baby girl, born in the year of Covid! So last year wasn’t all bad.
I’m certainly enjoying all the challenges that are out there and also chatting with my newfound blogging friends.
I hope everyone continues to enjoy my blog until we can all travel again.
Check out my posts to see where we’ve been so far.
Hello Alison – hope you are doing well! Saw my comment from January, and that must have been about the All Seasons challenge.Since WordPress completely went over to the block editor, my way of linking has become very easy: “Copy and paste” in the comment section!
A happy Easter to you! Jesh

Hi Alison, We also had two new grandbabies born during Covid last year and lost my MIL so it was a mixed up year! Looking forward to following along on your travels :). Lovely to ‘meet’ you!

Nice to meet you too. I also had a new granddaughter last year, a sister for 2 yr old grandson, it’s wonderful being a grandparent isn’t it

It’s the best!! I’m so lucky my 2 little ones are coming to visit for Easter, one is 2.5yrs and her little brother is 11 weeks. I have a 1 year old grandson in Brisbane and my little granddaughter (born at 25 weeks in August 2019) is in the UK and I don’t know when I’ll be able to see her in person again, and her mother of course!

Hi
We have much in common ..my granddaughter is four months old now also born in the pandemic! I also have a grandson who is two and a half ..both my daughter’s. I will have to get permission before I write or post about them. I’m running out of stuff to say, having a travel blog and not travelling 😩

When I read about the age of the kids I thought that’s what we have in common. I’m in New Zealand not far away at all. Been here since 2009 and am enjoying it to be with my only son and his family.

What cute pups! I had a dog with up/down ears too. They are extra special. I have two elderly dogs and we can’t travel until they are done living on this earth. Too much maintenance for a kennel at this point. We’re looking forward to being able to travel but unfortunately the price for that will be more than I’d willingly pay if I had the choice.
I’m enjoying looking through your blog and the fun places you’ve been though!

Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. Our dogs are still young so can just about cope with the kennels, but it’s still horrible all the same. We can’t travel outside of WA until next year anyway so at the moment it’s just a three or four night stay for them.

i’m looking forward to reading more of your posts. I’ve dipped in today and have had an enjoyable read and browse through your photos. I’ve never been to Perth but have been to Sydney, Brisbane, and Cairns and loved my time there. In fact, my husband and I agreed that if we’d been younger we would have seriously thought about emigrating! I have a nephew now living in Sydeny with wife and baby (permanent residents) and one in New Zealand, so I shall make my way down yonder one of these days when all this quietens down.

Hi
Thanks so much for reading 🥰
I’m very lucky to live in Australia now, coming all the way from Essex.
Perth is beautiful but so far away from everywhere else, good at the moment due to Covid though.
Your site says it’s been deleted, is that correct when I press on your name
