For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
Author: AggieSoon
Welcome to my personal blog. I am a wife, a mother, a sometimes reluctant traveller. Have wandered the globe with my family when I was young. Home has always been where ever we laid down our suitcases. Now that I am getting older, I feel the need to put down roots. To settle. In the meantime, I am collecting stories along the way.
The day of the UK general election
It was a cold and wet day today. The sky was grey as the rain drizzled down. We woke in near dark and helped our son get ready for school in the dim light. I got his breakfast and lunch ready. A job that his father does most days. We are settling into a routine […]
Wrong
You know there is something wrong when the streets are full of smoke and you can almost taste the smell of burning trees. The sun is covered in a thick haze. It’s a hot summer. And that often means bush fire season in Australia. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #76: Wrong
That fountain in the Tate Modern
Him: Oh mum, why??? Like that’s not going to scar me or anything… Me: Quiet. It’s art! For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday!
Londoners
I heard the awful news yesterday afternoon. A simple text message came from my husband to let me know to stay away from London Bridge. Another one let me know he was safe. “Be good to keep away from London Bridge on your way back. Shooting apparently” was all it said. We were heading home […]
St Paul’s Cathedral in the distance
I still cannot believe we are actually here! It feels like I am going to wake up soon and find myself back in Sydney. I’d walk to the kitchen, have a glass of water and call my husband to tell him of the vivid dream I had. It doesn’t quite feel real yet. For Debbie’s […]
Purple
For those who have been following Nomad for a while would know the special place these trees have in my heart. They are called Jacarandas and they start blooming in Sydney about November. Via the Daily Post Photo Challenge #76: Purple
Settling in
So here we are. After a long flight we are finally here on the other side of the world. It is cold and wet and fresh. The days get dark early and light later in the morning. Our second day was spent house hunting. In the grey twilight, I met a friendly couple who passed […]
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, […]
