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 […]

There’s always so much going on in Sydney, and currently lots of little short festivals that are easy to miss. So these posts will try and let you know of the highlights that I find out about. Currently the “village bizarre” in the Rocks area is the place to be on a Friday night, with […]
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 […]
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 […]
July is miserably cold in Sydney. The actual temperatures are nothing compared to English winters, but the houses are not built to keep warmth in so it feels cold inside, which can really suck at times! Therefore I have resolved to go north and get warm whenever the July holidays come around. I still make […]
Mum has always loved Sydney, after living there for a year and a half in the seventies. The funny and nicest part about her visit was how natural it was for her to be there. We had talked on the phone a lot since I moved, so our conversations just continued and it didn’t feel […]
