Travel, photography and writing –
– all things I enjoy and this site gives me the opportunity to do all three and share the experience. I head off on holidays as often as possible with a close friend, or sometimes on my own, and take thousands of photos and I write about the places we go and the fun we have.
The kids have now all grown up, and I’m still working hard, so these trips to far off lands are well deserved adventures. Indulging in a wide variety of interests – history, art, design, theatre, music, dance, architecture, style, people watching, food, wine, cocktails, fashion, experiencing life, meeting new friends and generally exploring everything.
It is good to have a friend there to talk each other into (often) buying things that one of us might be thinking twice about, or seeing something we’re not sure about, (after all, we may not have the opportunity to come back!) And we are there to talk each other out of (rarely) buying or doing something that might not be such a good idea – and we have a good laugh.
I don’t do speed travel, I like to go somewhere for up to a month, immerse myself in the culture, live like a local, see as much as I can, have many long lunches, do lots of exploring, of course a bit of shopping and have some days when I just do……………..not much at all really…………….after all it is a break from my incredibly busy life in Sydney.
You won’t find me jumping off things, I like to keep my adrenaline levels steady! Nor do I race around town ticking off things to see, then pack up and move to the next city. And the budget is often put to the test – there are times when an outrageously priced cocktail, or two, at the Paris Ritz is an absolutely essential experience.
I’m hoping my stories can encourage other women, whose families are all grown up and left home, to go travelling with their friends, partners, or even on your own – you deserve it too.

The Martin Place Christmas tree is set up, but I am so over seeing it every year with the red and green beach ball look, surely we can have something different occasionally. Looks great for visitors, but if you live here........same old, same old......

Another of my favourites at this year`s Sculpture by the Sea, nice and calming on a day of torrential rain, followed by wild winds, but as it was the last weekend of the exhibition I had to brave it!

The bombed out ruins of St Dunstan in the East, now a lovely peaceful park, the area around this church was all rebuilt after the war, but this is a nice memorial and a reminder that we shouldn`t do that again...

The Thames Riverside Walk near Vauxhall Bridge, I caught the tube to Pimlico then walked down to the river on another warm day in London.
1. Lovely old lamp posts along the Riverside Walk near Vauxhall Bridge.
2. The Morpeth Arms on Millbank, a beautiful pub, love the flowers, too early in the day, but looks very inviting.
3. Is it a park bench? Is it a climbing frame? is it a sculpture? I think it is all of these, should be more of them!!

As I was walking from Canary Wharf tube to the pier, I found this sculpture of Rabbitwoman and Dogman by Gillie and Marc, there is also one in Sydney, scroll down my feed to see that one.
Then I crossed the river on the shuttle ferry to Rotherhithe to begin my walk to Tower Bridge.

The Prospect of Whitby, the oldest pub in London, built in 1520 - that is 800 years ago, amazing!! Sitting on the banks of the River Thames in the cobbled streets of Wapping.
1. The street front of The Prospect of Whitby.
2. The river side of the pub, when I arrived there the water level was at the top of the steps, by the time I had finished my lunch the tide had gone out, just over an hour later. The noose hanging out there is slightly disconcerting!!
3. Inside the pub
4. The board showing all the Kings and Queens who have reigned since the pub was built, and they have added Charles to this one.

I found Rabbitwoman and Dogman again at Spitalfields in London, along with a herd of bronze elephants all created by Gilli and Marc. The Herd of Hope was created to raise awareness of the plight of elephants at the hands of poachers in Africa.

A visit to Kew Gardens makes for a very pleasant peaceful day, apart from the fact it is on the flight path to Heathrow! No wonder George lll went mad 🤣😉!!
1. The Elizabeth Gate entrance.
2. The pond in front of The Botanist Restaurant.
3. The Queen`s Garden on the Thames side of Kew Palace.

This little dog was in a staring competition with a squirrel sitting at the base of the tree, neither of them moved a muscle, the competition was well under way when ai got there, I watched for 5 or 10 minutes, they had drawn quite a crowd. I have no idea how it ended, but the squirrel can always run up the tree. That little dog was in for the long haul!🤣
2. Gnarly trees along the Birdcage Walk side of St James`s Park.
3. The park gates at The Mall leading up Marlborough Rd to St James`s Palace.

Walking through London`s Hyde Park, there was sunshine and a bit of rain, that gave me the opportunity to dash over to @harveynichols for lunch, then back into the park.
1. Sculpture Isis on the edge of The Sepentine.
2. The walking path along the south side of The Serpentine under West Carriage Drive.
3. I didn`t see any real horses on my walk in Hyde Park, but this one is part of the memorial to the animals that suffered during the war.

Another of London`s really old pubs, this one was rebuilt in 1667 after the Great Fire of London, so must have been there for some years before that!
1. The main entrance to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in the Lane.
2. The front of the pub on Fleet St.
3. The list of Kings and Queens who have reigned while this pub has been in business, luckily there is space at the bottom to add Charles lll.

After settling into my hotel in London I set off to walk off the jet lag, St James`s Park is one of my favourite London parks. It was quite a warm, overcast day, with 95% humidity, so a really bad hair day!!!
1. Walking down Marlborough Rd towards the park.
2. Deck chairs in the park, (too expensive to sit on, so sitting on the grass next to them is the next bes option🤣) with the Elizabeth Tower, aka Big Ben, peaking over the tree tops.
3. The lake in St James`s Park, looking towards Royal Horse Guards.

This is the entrance to the London Bridge built in the early 1200s, on the north side of the Thames. It is covered in scaffolding and sheets of corrugated tin to protect it from the building going on around it. The current London Bridge is just up the road.
1. Entrance from Lower Thames St, under the tower of St Magnus the Martyr Church.
2. A piece of timber from the old medieval bridge.
3. From the other side of the archway

The Mayflower Pub at Rotherhithe in London, was the highlight of the Thames Walk, people have been going here for 400 years, and now I`m one of them!! I met the owner`s mum, who lives upstairs, we compared our sore knees 😉! Her dog, Ringo, joined in the conversation, they`re from Liverpool, and no, the rest of the Beatles are not there, just Ringo 🤣 I had delicious fish and chips, and a glass of wine before continuing my walk to Tower Bridge.

Circular Quay, Sydney`s ferry terminal, don`t know how that big brown box of a building got there, I`m sure it wasn`t there last time I looked!! Good to see the Overseas Shipping Terminal, on the right of the photo, without a gigantic ship in it blocking out the view of ..... everything really!
