It's been a bumpy ride! Much of this year has passed in a blur with many ups and downs. And yet the year ends on a high note of borders being open and family from interstate once again being able to join us here on Bribie Island for Christmas. A highlight, and a labour of … Continue reading Reflections 2021
It’s National Volunteer Week and this year is the first time in over 18 years that I have not been involved with volunteering or organising something for volunteers. Last year doesn’t count because I was in Spain. You know me, I can't just sit on my hands, so when I saw the appeal go out … Continue reading Volunteering Makes Me Happy
Maria Angeles is my oldest female friend. My father, a Dutch Eurasian and her father, a Spaniard, worked for the United Nations and were both posted to Jerusalem. No, they were not military observers or troops, they were permanent staff of the United Nations. We met at Schmidt Girls College, a strict convent school run … Continue reading A Unique Friendship

The sun has gone on holiday. I've had to drag out the heater again, pile on jumpers and walk home in the rain - luckily I have a trusty brolly in my bag. Despite the gloomy weather this as been a brilliant day which stared with a lovely email from very dear friend (Susan) sharing … Continue reading Pleasures in simple moments
When I was a child, a year seemed like an awfully long time. It was an unbearable wait till Christmas rolled around each year.
