A short clip of the bats emerging from the trees in Tolga Queensland.

I took this photo today in Cairns Botanical garden..love the vibrant green!

I love this fun statue on the Esplanade leading down to the Lagoon in Cairns, Qld. Its near a childrens playpark and its simple but colourful.

We are housesitting very close to a lovely beach near Cairns and had heard about Rusty's Market so we thought we would pop in, we were there at 6am!..our body clocks were a bit out of whack from english

We are currently housesitting very near Cairns, even nearer to a beach!, so we visited Rusty's market and had a look at some of the more exotic fruit and veg. As we were nearly leaving I spotted this

We went and saw the Yellow Eyed penguins in New Zealand near Dunedin on the South Island and these signs popped up along the road!

A lovely walk in the woods in May gave us this photo of a carpet of bluebells one of my childhood favourites.

We spend a lot of time in Spain off grid and this is one of the chillies we grew...hot little mouthfuls but so pretty....and resilient!

A photo I took of some bluebells in a wood in Norfolk, UK.

Thousands of people marched through Norwich today to celebrate Pride. Even the dogs joined in! The police were out in force! There was a great atmosphere for the procession. It was lovely seeing all the

This Native American dancer was giving demonstrations of various dances and their meanings at the Crazy Horse Memorial, South Dakota.

We got into housesitting by accident - a lady we had met in Spain near where we live off grid needed a new housesitter while she worked in the UK. It was a no-brainer for us! we were going to spend time

It's so laid back in New Zealand the trees are too! This was a photo I took in The Coramandel when we spent 4 months travelling around NZ.

I try not to eat much bread now this is worth indulging in! Easy to make even though I do not have electricity and food mixers now! Bread dough 500g strong white bread flour 1.5 tsp unrefined golden caster

Took a photo of this in the motorcycle museum in Sturgis, South Dakota

Not eating meat doesn't mean giving up pastry snacks! I think the original recipe was for meatless meatballs from Good Housekeeping magazine. Ingredients 250g mushrooms 1tbsp olive oil 75g cheddar cheese
