Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

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!

 Hello Everyone! It's been a wee while since I was here. There have been some big life updates and drumroll... The first one was that we made it back to Australia.

We had the most glorious Summer Down Under and I have been enjoying writing all about our Western Australia adventures on my Little Wandering Wren Travel blog . You can probably see why it was so lovely to finally make it back to Australia. The sunshine, the beaches, and reconnecting with family and friends after such a long time away. Our holiday and more specifically our Western Australia Road Trip introduced us to new delights in the region. We especially loved seeing thousands of limestone pillars at the other wordly Pinnacles Desert and the Stingrays at Hamelin Bay that swim around your feet in the shallows of the glorious Hamelin Bay Beach. If you love huge murals yo

Hello everyone it's been a while! Life back travelling again has been epic. I so enjoyed my Summer in the UK, the sun shone and we were able to revisit old haunts including returning to Glastonbury as volunteers and also find some new places that we'd never been to. At Glastonbury Festival 2022 Then there was America. Oh my gosh, another pinch me is my life for real, wonderful times which have come as a result of hosting tennis players for twelve years playing at the Australian Open. I thoroughly enjoyed my twelve days of tennis completing my Fan Slam at the US Open. You can have a sneak peek into this via my Facebook page or on Instagram.  I did have the most wonderful time Staying at the New York Athletic Club  and meeting with Carol in  Buttercupland . New York Athletic Club France then followed because a certain Mr Wren has always wanted to live there and since his recent retirement, we've been out exploring Arles and Uzes and surrounds in the Provence area. It's c
