It’s a glorious Sunday morning here in Darwin. I’ve had a bright and early start to the day. An hour of gardening while it was still nice and cool; the ground was easy to dig after the rain last night. Next task, cleaning the pool filter, two load of washing on the line and all … Continue reading Sailing off into the Sunset…

An Interview with a Ghost
Do you remember wondering what you would like to do during your late teens and early twenties? When I was making the transition from educational life to working life, I was keenly interested in career options and in hearing about others’ experiences – particularly if they were in a field I was considering. It’s occurred … Continue reading An Interview with a Ghost
In the air … A travelogue by Special Correspondent for Dragon Sisters Nowette Awle
I've decided to add these articles to my personal blog, with permission from our guest blogger, as they are really fun memories of our 2010 trip. I hope you enjoy them. Michelle Hanton When a Dragon Sister mentioned going on holiday to Venice and a luxury cruise, I thought, ‘Well that’s OK for some. Some … Continue reading In the air … A travelogue by Special Correspondent for Dragon Sisters Nowette Awle
GOODBYE ECIJA
Friday night saw me bidding a sad farewell to the last group of my lovely students who have been a part of my life since last September. I have to admit I shed a little tear (and so did some of them). My walk home, after handing in the keys to my boss, was filled … Continue reading GOODBYE ECIJA
Exploring the Albayzin – Granada, Spain
The school year is drawing to a close, at least here in Europe, which means so too is my time here in Spain. I'm making the most of the last few weekends and have been to Granada, Cordoba and Seville this month. Distances are not as vast as at home in Australia, so even though … Continue reading Exploring the Albayzin – Granada, Spain

I know lots of people have but feel they can’t do anything for one reason or another. Family, kids, parents, finances, pets and a myriad of other thing are usually cited as the … Continue reading Changing our lives

I’ve been here two months already, the time has flown past and two weeks today I’ll be boarding a plane in Madrid to head back to Darwin for Christmas where I’ll no doubt swelter and instead of the heaters will be lazing about in the pool to try and keep cool. I’m very pleased to … Continue reading December…..first week
A month today since I Ieft Darwin ……my new casa
The washing machine is whirling away, I’ve had a much needed shower (and been reunited with the old style gas boilers of days gone by) and the Spanish news is on in the background as I sit down to write this. The news is on so my ear can tune into the Spanish language a … Continue reading A month today since I Ieft Darwin ……my new casa
Move to Ecija…update
I spent the morning travelling to what will be my new base for the next little while. Ecija, with a population of just over 40,000, is a little over an hour from Sevilla in the province of Andalusia. It's been referred to as the frying pan of Andalusia as temperatures can soar in summer to … Continue reading Move to Ecija…update

Just a very quick update for benefit of those not on Facebook. Been pretty flat out since arriving in beautiful Ravenna - home of amazing mosaics. Days that are not occupied with dragon boating are spent exploring and job hunting. Two interviews so far and one job offer but I won't decide anything till after … Continue reading Quick Update – Italy
