GYB Giveaway winner - I've won a trip to Canada!!!

 And the winner is me!

I am so excited 

I've just won a trip to Canada through GYB 2015.



Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by 
to say hello from Grow Your Blog 2015.
I had a really good time visiting new blogs
and with over 300 bloggers participating
 I haven't finished yet!

There are some amazing blogs out there
I am happy to have connected with new bloggers
and delighted to see some new followers to mine.

 A huge thank you to Vicki at 2bagsfull
for organising another successful event.

I am pleased to announce the winner of my 
GYB 2015 giveaway is 
drum roll please....

Michele Timms

Which is perfect as Michele says:

We have a "thing" about birds... 
If you saw our house you would know what I mean! 
Many birds: glass, wood, painted, etc!!  


So Michele
there will be a few more little Wren things 
heading your way to add to your collection.

I would love to say I'll come and deliver myself 
as I have never been to Canada
but I think my DH would do his nut at that suggestion...
Although it would be fun trying...

Darling!
I ran this little giveaway on my Blog
(the one he never reads...)
and I met this lovely Lady called Michele
(so what, we've never met!)
and I thought when you go to the States on business in May
I could come with you,
 and fly to Canada
(Michele please tell me it is not that far...
Well, it's nearer than from Australia
so it still seems like a good idea to me...)
and give her the giveaway that she won
What do you think?

You know those sort of conversations that if you time it right,
World Cup Cricket is on in Melbourne at the moment for instance. 
if I got him in the middle of someone bowling,
a Howzat moment...
or maybe even, 
after dinner when the telly is on, and they're all trying to watch
that new series from America
"How to get away with murder ..."
When everyone turns to look at you with a loud 
"shush"
Even though you've just said 
'the dog's just puked in the study.'

So get my timing right
when no-one is listening to a word that I say anyway...

ACTUALLY 
come to think of it,
I'm guessing I really don't need to plan this so precisely,
 this has got to be most of my life...

I might just get a 
"sounds good"


In which case Dear Michele
if you don't mind waiting a few weeks
I'm coming to yours.
Which makes us both winners!

Now please don't tidy up for me Michele
I'll feel more at home without the floors mopped.

And no need to bake me a special cake
I'm more of a Betty Crocker sort of a girl...

And as you know, no need to iron your clothes that day
because I won't have...

Michele, please don't cry at my generosity
 you haven't got your 10 Designer Wren Tissues yet!
Save those tears of joy till when I'm with you.
You can do the washing up, 
I'll do the drying, 
I'm bringing the Australian Wrens tea towel!
Oh the fun we'll have!

Thank you so much Michele
for making me the winner
Canada here I come!
Maybe...

Now I need everyone out there in the Blogosphere
to please join me and wish me luck with this idea.
And just in case I get a 
"No way"
Michele can you kindly e-mail me your address?!!!!!

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!

Welcome to Racha Island Hello everyone and greetings from Phuket, Thailand THAILAND THOUGHTS Thailand where we have now reopened the country and are ready to welcome international fully vaccinated arrivals without quarantine to our beautiful island.  For all the details check out  Phuket Sandbox: Would you, should you, could you?   This month another southern island Koh Samui followed along. There are slightly different arrangements with guests to stay within their arrival hotel for three days before supplying a negative Covid test. This gives freedom to roam the island, after 7 days, visitors can also visit the islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. For all the details check out: Welcome back to Thailand via Koh Samui plus All this as Thailand records the highest Covid numbers and death rates ever recorded and stricter measures have been released across the worst affected Provinces.  There is a plan for more of the country to open and the idea was for Thailand to fully reopen to vaccinat
