22 April 2023 It’s been a while since we caught up over the coffee cups. We can think our lives mundane yet when I think how best to catch you up in a few words I realise we live interesting and busy lives. A lot has happened in the year, I’ve been absent, so we’ll…
Hello and welcome to coffee, G & T, cuppa tea or hot cocoa. I’m having a G & T and happy to share along with you what’s been happening in my week. Before we crack on with our week’s let me say that once again I’m joining others to share our week on Natalie’s blog…
We won’t waste time with why I’ve been MIA (Missing in Action) since June last year. I’ll say COVID and you’ll understand. No coffee, liquorice, chocolate, home baking or Monte Carlo biscuits today. It’s home made bone broth for me and you have a selection of coffee brewed whichever way, tea, or hot chocolate from…

Sunday, 14 June 2020 Of course we expect winter to be cold and grey but with much to see and do around the region of Mandurah, WA it is no reason to be holed up inside. With woolly hats and jackets as insurance against even bleaker temperatures we set out down the coast to Preston…

Along the Newell Highway, partway between Narrabri and Baradine is an unmarked turnoff to the much-guarded, and spectacular, sandstone caves set in the Pillage Nature Reserve. Unmarked by request of the Gamilaroi people of New South Wales, custodians of the land, who are proud of their cultural heritage of which the caves were once an…
15th November 2020 How is it that when we were at work, days droned into weeks, months and years, yet in retirement, time passes so I can’t believe it has been a fortnight since our last coffee catch up? Are you well? How are you managing the seasonal changes? If we were having coffee I…
How about these crazy times? Crazy maybe, but we can still have coffee and chat about our week, or the last couple of weeks. The crazy has started to lift in some states here in Australia while for Western Australia (WA) hard borders remain closed, which is odd considering their closest state, South Australia, has…
Welcome to another weekend coffee catch up. I hope you are doing well and keeping busy with activities that nurture you in this tough time. It’s a lovely sunny afternoon here so let’s sit outside with our coffee as we catch up. I don’t have biscuits or cakes this afternoon but I do have chocolate…
Another beautiful morning in Airlie Beach, home for the past week. We flagged our original plan for a two-week stay as the midges (small biting insects) were dreadful, and each night we were chased indoors well before 6:30pm. Not a fun way to spend the balmy evenings in the Whitsundays. Nevermind, we packed a lot…
So much to tell. But where to start? We’ve travelled more than 3, 000 km, crossed another state border, seen and enjoyed so many wonders since the beginning of September when we last shared a chat over the coffee cups. Sometimes I feel like we’re hardly moving at all, but as I sit and watch…
Welcome to what was to have been another Weekend Coffee Catch Up. But you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men. Well, today I’m one of the mice … After selecting photos, resizing and captioning each one, it all disappeared. So no words today because I’m speechless and my…
I hope you are having, or have had, a great weekend doing all the things that bring you pleasure and release from stress of the past week. We’ve had a busy week as we travelled the final few hundred kilometres on the Western Australian (WA) side of the border. We had a two-night stop at…
Welcome to this week’s coffee catch up. It’s an evening cuppa, after another full day and while Basil watches motorbike racing, I’m outside listening to the sounds of campers settling into their evenings. Night creatures are about and birds still chatter. It’s been a warm day in Kununurra, Western Australia but it has cooled off…
Welcome to this third week Coffee Catch Up. I wrote this in two parts so the first part was written during our stay at Barn Hill Station, the second in Broome. Before we go further I want to let the people in my home town know I’m cheering you on. Think of me as your…
If we were having coffee I’d tell you that we went deep sea fishing at Kalbarri. It was a 4am start and the weather was bleak. Still, we weren’t about to pike on the adventure, even though the early start was more shocking than trying to keep warm against the wind. Then I’d have to…
