Stories from the journey home
It was a beautiful exhibition at the Tate Modern. The artist has been living in a mental health hospital since the 1970s. I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered... Continue Reading →
My son is off at camp. My husband will be home from work after midnight. I am home alone, reading a book that is moving me to tears. It's a collection of love stories. A crazy Australian writer spent some time on a busy Brisbane street with a typewriter and recorded stories that came walking... Continue Reading →
The small pleasure of a sweet book and a simple lunch on a hot London day. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
I spent a wonderful afternoon shopping at charity shops with my goddaughter and her beautiful mum. It was so much fun! I bought a red scarf and an owl purse. And I felt like I was saving the world. For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon. Spent it wandering the streets of Soho with family. Mum and dad have come over from Tasmania. It’s been lovely to spend time with them! For Debbie’s Six Word Saturday

Others abandoned more than halfway through never to be picked up again. I enjoy reading. I do. Really. But sometimes I feel it's... Continue Reading →
I’d seen it in textbooks. Read about how remarkable this work was for it’s time (1434). I never dreamed I’d see the real thing. But there it was, just hanging there as casually as you please. I was quite delighted to stumble upon it at the National Gallery. For Becky’s Monday Portrait
Ordinary. My ideal day looks like any other ordinary day. Preferably a Saturday. Back in Australia it started with a sunrise walk by the beach with friends. They did it for exercise. I really did it for the amazing light, their company and the açai bowl waiting for me at the end. We talk and... Continue Reading →
