An hour of gardening while it was still nice and cool; the ground was easy to dig after the rain last night.

A Little Me Time – The Camino

Why the change of lifestyle……an answer to the question so many are asking
As a child I lived all over the world and called several different counties home. My father worked for the United Nations and this somewhat nomadic lifestyle was the life I was born into, so of course, I did not realise that our lifestyle was so different. As I grew older and stared work in … Continue reading Why the change of lifestyle……an answer to the question so many are asking
