It’s SPRING! Well, here in the Southern hemisphere anyway. Spring is my second favourite season…I love the blooms and new growth, but it can be windy and rainy (hence why it is not my favourite). We have spent a bit of time hibernating this Winter, we have gone back to not doing much going out,…

After spending a long weekend with my daughter who I have not seen in almost a year, I am relaxed, happy and grateful that I got to spend time with her and her husband and their furbabies. Grateful they are only a short plane ride away, grateful I have the means to travel, grateful technology…
