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.

let’s hope we can travel soon..

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.

Lovely to meet you and look forward to reading your posts. You mention you are from Essex. Most of my family lived there, in Romford, and my parents eventually moved out to Dagenham.

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
