See you Sydney! Bye for now.
The day has finally come. We are leaving Sydney on a one way ticket without a fix date of return. With all the goodbyes said and our house packed up and rented out, there is nothing more to do other than leave. We are ready for our next adventure! London, here we come! For Debbie’s […]
Inside
I have a favourite mug. There is a picture of a girl holding a doll on top of a green hill inside it. It asks me if I ever get lonely. I don’t mind, because I rarely feel lonely. There is just too much to do. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #75: Inside
Light
It’s been an emotional and busy few days. We have been packing, throwing things out and donating things to charity shops. We will move out of our apartment tomorrow. My husband will be headed to London before us. And we will follow him shortly after. It’s been so very sad to say goodbye to people, […]
Dreaming
Not long now before I leave this behind. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #74: Dreaming
The helpers

Sand and waves between my toes
I am going to miss this beach. I am going to miss walking on its sand and feeling its cool water wash over my feet. Not long now before we are London bound. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.

The evening went well, thank you.
It is Wednesday night as I write. I am home now after an emotional evening. In a small room, packed with people, we heard directly from two remarkable people who have come to Australia in search of safety, fairness and dignity. I asked them if they could tell the room about their home country. One […]
Fleeting moment
There is a sign in a dead end alleyway between Redfern and Central station in Sydney. It says “Jesus loves you”. There are days when I don’t notice it. And there are days when I search for it before it zooms by. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #72: Fleeting moment
Speaking at my first political event
I am not the best public speaker. I get scared talking in front of people. Just thinking about it does strange things to my stomach and chest. But in a couple of days I will be speaking at my first political event — a community forum in support of people who have fled conflict and […]
What on earth is modern art?
Him: Mum can we go now? I don’t understand this and I feel like my brain is going to malfunction. Me: You’re not supposed to understand it. You’re supposed to engage with it visually and let the image wash over you. Him: No. You are supposed to get the information from the image. Not by […]

In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters. – Paul Gauguin Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #71: Create
