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, […]

When another friend visited who only had a few days in Sydney, we had to select a few choice morsels to sample. Instead of Taronga Zoo, we went to the Wildlife World in darling harbour, as that houses all the specifically australian animals. We had the advantage of being able to enjoy harbour views from […]
This is when it really starts to feel like home, when friends or family come to stay and you get to show them around Sydney. Living out in the north west suburb of Hornsby, I didn’t really receive many visitors, but as soon as I moved to a beautiful apartment on the harbour with a […]
I spent January in Oz, staying with relatives. Went on a “surf camp” up to seals rocks, a couple of hours north of Sydney. I had a lot of fun, but have come to the conclusion that I need to build up some arm muscles if I want to do this properly-my paddling is rubbish […]
