I had always longed to experience the German Christmas markets. In 2003, my fairytale dream came true. We travelled from Dover, crossed on the ferry to Calais, then headed through Belgium to Rudesheim on the Rhine. We were thrilled to find that this quaint, historic town was surrounded on 3...

I love pumpkin and I love cinnamon so I will definitely try this one!! :)

So excited! I am going on a cruise for 9 nights in December. After the tumultuous year we have had, it will be the perfect time for a rest. Brisbane to Brisbane to Tasmania. We have sold 2 houses and move into our Happy Retirement Home on November 2nd. After living on our little farm in our 100...

Love Roy O!! Such an emotive voice!

I enter competiions. An unknown number could be someone telling me I have won a car or a trip to England. It is fairly easy to recognize scammers, so I am very cautious.

I also do not do financial dealings on my phone. I use my home computer to do Netbank. We live in dangerous times and there are very clever and unscrupulous criminals out there. It pays to be vigilant always!

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers I found this beautiful iris in Toowoomba just after the Carnival of Flowers last year. We didn't make it to Toowoomba on the Festival weekend, but was passing through about 2 weeks later. I begged my husband to drive past Queen's Park to see if the flowers were...

I don't think he did lose it. The only explanation I can find, is when he emailed me the details, it was then that the scammers changed the numbers. I am still working out this mystery. Stay tuned.

I am so thankful for our Commonwealth bank in Nambour. I tried to pay a bill for $5000 to a builder for a retaining wall. I was given his bank details by our neighbour, who had already paid half of the cost. He also emailed me the invoice with the bank details. My netbank refused to pay it. I...

I remember my mother-in-law looking at my firstborn in his bouncinette and frowning. "You shouldn't use that thing," she said."It will damage his little private parts!" Sometimes, you just have to nod and smile and go your own way! :)

Loved your blog, Alan! Very informative. Thank you for posting. We lived in England for 9 months. We loved Tesco but hadn't heard of Poundland. Sounds great. We also frequented Op shops.....absolutely loved them. Also, the jumble sales were good too. The hedged roads also scared us, but we found...

Wow!! Thank you so much for all your stories and your advice. I guess we are downsizing in only one sense..going from 4 acres ( which we can no longer look after) to maybe a half or 1 acre. But the new house will be 4 bedrooms as our son, whose marriage has broken up, will live with us, as well...

Thank you Lisa. Much appreciated! :)

Advice wanted We are currently downsizing, preparing our 99 year old farmhouse and our rental for sale. We plan to move into a home which is easier to look after., when we finally sell and find our happy home. My question is.. what advice can you give in making this transition easier? Thanks in...

$1000 per month sounds wonderful to me! And thank you!! :)
