Happy New Blue Monday

If you have been keeping up with Australian politics we have changed our Government since last Monday and so if you are a fan of Mr Abbott, our new Prime Minister, it is indeed a very Happy Blue Monday.
What I was especially chuffed about was that there was plenty of blue to photograph this weekend - aside from our beautiful blue sky!
Now having never voted in an Australian election I did a little reconescence and took the crazy poodle to suss out what was what. Above is the local church with conveniently our local MP's Blue Car.
I tell you if you were ever feeling a little down, Election Day is the day to boost the spirits!
Not only is it incredibly social with half the neighborhood out on the streets, but when you get to the Polling Station you suddenly become Mrs Very Popular...
The blue Party even offer to hold the crazy mutt whilst I go into vote... Everyone is so friendly and I return home laden down with leaflets about all the various parties...
I went home to change, this is not the day to be seen out in your scruffs. I rather cleverly dress all in white - thereby showing no party political favouratism, and ensuring that I am equally as popular on my return with Daughter Number Two. Details of are fateful trip were blogged about earlier - you can find the whole sorry story here!
But on the way home, what should I see but two blue balloons caught in the tree, which I thought would be a perfect way to end and to wish everyone a Happy Blue Monday!
Please pop over to see the other blogs at Blue Monday if you have the time.

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...

Taipei Adventures, naked - moi?!

I have to tell you all about my little adventure in Taipei recently, naked at the Hot Springs! I can't believe that I have never been to Taiwan, I certainly urge you all to go if you ever get the chance. For me, I loved the combination of influences of two countries I enjoy.  Street views from Downtown Taipei The Chinese left some interesting historical influences and stunning architecture, which combined with a Japanese legacy and efficiency in transportation, makes Taipei an easy place to visit, with so much to see. Nowadays, Taiwan has emerged as a thoroughly modern city, I loved my time there. It felt exotic and safe until I had to get my kit off. It was a spur of the moment decisions to join my husband on his Taiwanese business trip, prompted by the delay in the arrival of our furniture into Bangkok, and ‘no room at the inn’ where we had been staying. Given that I’m commitment and fancy-free in Thailand; there’s no job, no kids, no dog and absolutely nothing in ...

L'eau de toilette....

Our meals at The Serai were a huge part of the enjoyment of our stay. Lunch & dinners are marathon five course events...We tried not to over-order but even when we cut back to try to pace ourselves, Chef would send out little treats for us to try... If one person expressed an interest in a particular dish, we all got it.... Whenever someone ordered something we all got it.... ...although sometimes it took a quite a few attempts... 'Can you do oats, no milk?' .... 'Can you do ginger, hot water and some lemon, no milk?' We have an eclectic group of tastes from Miss ' Extra spicy ' to Miss ' Not too spicy ' through to Miss ' Vegetarian, no dairy ' , myself as ' Miss Recovering, extra careful and just wants soup. ...and even Miss India herself who every now and again just orders chips... So we can't leave without saying a huge thank you to the Chef for the best food that we have had so far.... We hear conflicting reports about whether th...
