It's love all here!


Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
Excuse me for being absent, we've been busy watching tennis and playing...
with cats!



We're in the middle of the Australian Open and between frequent visits to Melbourne Park, we took time out to visit my daughter's friend who was fostering three kittens from the Lost Dogs (and cats) Home. 


This little cutie, soon made herself comfy in the middle of the tennis shoes and was quite the star of the show. If she hadn't already been adopted, I could almost see her on tour, next stop Roland Garros!

The players always have plenty of opportunities to get to know our Aussie animals with an up close and personal experience with various Aussie animals taken into the Players area (see last years post here).

This year there was an Australia Zoo room full of toy kangaroos, koalas, and the like, for the players to chose with tickets to the local zoos and animal sanctuaries.

I'm pretty sure a kitty experience would have been a big hit also!


Of course, we couldn't let the kittens distract us for too long, 
as it was, our Crazy Poodle was already none too impressed that we are out a lot!

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!
