Another winter is upon us, most of my time indoors is spent trying to keep any warmth inside. Cocooning myself in blankets, sitting right next to a heater/fire, or just going for a jog outside where the temperature is very similar (perhaps even warmer!). I usually plan an escape up north this time of year, […]
Just tutoring and studying at the moment occupies my evenings but means that my days are free to experiment and try out new things. This has led to many interesting paths and connections opening up to me. One of the things I got involved with was the Mardi Gras parade. Bhu was setting up an […]
Went to see the latest offering of the Sydney dance company on Friday- De Novo. It was a last minute ticket purchase and I had debated about Stalls or Circle. In the Walsh bay theatre I had always watched from the stalls before, but the available tickets in the circle were in the middle at […]

This production at the carriageworks is very different to anything I’ve seen before, which seems to be the theme for the things I’ve seen at this year’s Sydney festival so far. The stage is completely bare, only two actors on it, but they kept me hooked and interested for the whole 70 minutes. It starts […]

I’m lucky that my Mum loves Australia and so likes to come and visit. And equally lucky that we get on so well and love travelling together! This time she came in July though, when it’s unpleasantly cold in Sydney. It’s not cold like a british winter, but the houses here aren’t designed to keep […]
New York! My friend Cheryl and I like to plan trips together, where we meet “in the middle” between her home in Bristol and mine in Sydney. Although not really in the middle-New York was way closer to her, it was an awesome holiday for two girlfriends who hadn’t hung out together for ages and […]
I seriously love getting away into the heat at Winter. It’s one of my Australian resolutions that I will definately stick to. This time my friend Angela came with me and having both been there before seperately, we were confident that we could improvise. We started with a couple of days in Litchfield, sleeping in […]
I decided to take full advantage of my private school having a longer holiday than the other schools in July and flew straight from Darwin to Adelaide for another mini adventure. It was cold, but we were more prepared for it than in Sydney at least. Rented a nice cosy cottage in the Barossa Valley […]
