HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL ! I know this is a bit of Retired Husband (TRH) overload, but given it’s New Year’s Eve and he’s out there on the high seas, I thought I’d give you a glimpse into his favourite play-time on our 52 foot ferro-cement yacht, Finnally . If you’re interested in … More The Retired Husband Goes Sailing
Yes, indeed! The Retired Husband (TRH) plays. This is not an entirely new phenomenon. He has been known to play on the odd occasion over the years. However, now that he has successfully extricated himself from the rat race of earning a crust, he has figuratively let down his hair. I say that advisedly as … More The Retired Husband Plays
Joy? ‘Tis this and so much more – The hand of a small child trustingly placed in mine The pitter patter of four little paws following my every step The morning chorus greeting the dawning of a new day The sweet scent of roses filling the air The burst of flavours erupting from first picked … More Joy

The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she … More A Letter From The Post Office

Every year our tradition is to read the Christmas Gospel before we eat Christmas dinner. For us, that is tonight. So today I want to share a very different version with you. It is an excerpt from the Gospel of Luke – “The Aussie Bible. (Well, bits of it anyway!)” re-told by Kel Richards, … More Aussie Christmas Gospel
I’ve been a bit remiss! My posts have not done justice to an Aussie Christmas. That’s not nice. I love this country, it’s expansive vistas and diversity. Here you can find everything from snow to desert heat and everything in between. It’s natural beauty is one of contrasts – arid and stark, lush and … More Australia and Christmas
KIITOS – HYVÄÄ JOULUA JA ONNELLISTA UUTTA VUOTTA What the?! This is a blog posted in English isn’t it? Yes, it is. I’m just breaking with tradition this once.
