The Eagle has landed!

After six months studying in the United States of America 
daughter No 2 
has returned to the nest this morning.


She has had an amazing time living in New York
and travelling through California
where she really learned to fly.

This Little Mother Wren 
has a nervous flapping of wings 
and a scratching of her head
when she sees the video of her young Wrenlet 
jumping out of a plane!


Wrenlet 2 arrives home to find her 
Mother Hen has spent the entire week running around like a headless chook,
dusting and cleaning her room
and generally preparing for her return.
Well I might as well enjoy one week 
with one immaculate & tidy kids bedroom!

Plus I'm getting to the pointy end of my June minimalist challenge
where by each day I throw out the same number of items as the date
 I'm hoping she has been away so long, she won't remember half the items
I've jettisoned from her room this week!

I have even moved her desk and bed around in her bedroom,
Well we don't want her to think that nothing has changed 
since she has been away!



It's been a week of birds.
We had Problem in the Park earlier
with our noisy sulphur crested cockatoos.

These cute parrot photos were taken in January 
at Healesville Sanctuary
by Irina Falconi and Shelby Rogers
who were visiting from the US 
whilst playing at the Australian Open.

This week we have been cheering them on from afar
at the Wimbledon qualifying tournament.

Which reminded me of our lovely day at Healesville Sanctuary.
There is no better place to take International guests
for a taste of Australian wildlife in a natural setting.

Healesville looked after our professional tennis players exceedingly well.
Here is one of their photos from their Close Encounter with a koala
You can read more about Benny the Kool Koala here



Hope you are all having a lovely weekend
I'm off to start the weekend's chuck out
I need to find 43 things to throw out
I will soon have my nest back in order!
Linking with Saturday Critters
Thanks to Eileen

Hello Summer 2023!

Hello Everyone I hope you are having a wonderful July whereever you are in the world. As it's been a wee while since I stopped by I thought I'd fill you in.  The last three months have been epic. Here is my flight schedule alone: Phuket --> Bangkok --> Singapore --> Melbourne --> Gold Coast (overland to --> Brisbane --> Sydney --> Phuket --> Bangkok --> London --> Paris (overland to Montpellier) --> London. As they say I haven't been everywhere yet but it's on my list! April ended up being an incredible month as I returned to Australia, thanks to a wonderful invite to attend a 7 night Detox at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in Queensland. Here is a little excerpt:  Gwinganna Detox Program I’ve been invited to join a  seven-night detox program  at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. They are winners of the  World’s Best Eco Spa Awards  (2022 World Spa Awards) and it is beyond exciting. Well, until I read the small print… So it’s no gluten, dairy,

Autumn Spice and everything nice!

Hey, what ever happened to Summer? I hope yours was lovely, mine was pretty amazing! It feels like my whole year has whizzed past in a flash, how about yours?  I've had a year of saying "yes" to everything offered to me. It has been exciting to put it out to the Universe to see where I should be. We feel very fortunate to be able to do this in my husband's early years of retirement. I'm just back in Asia from the US. I never feel my year is quite right without seeing British daffodils in the Spring and a pumpkin and the leaves turning in Autumn. Yay, the world nailed it this year, thank you.  Read on to find out what happened when my ultimate yes occurred on a trip to Montana to meet Ruth, an IG friend. I know Bloggers will smile and not be at all concerned, we've been meeting up around the globe for years, haven't we...?!  But let's just say some of my family and friends were, you're doing what?! But first some Little Wren updates! France I had so

It's a funny old world!
