List #32: Five-year Travel Wish List
I had on my 101 Things list to rough out a five-year travel wish list. G and I did it last month and here it is: You can see we did some mind changing and moving things around while we were working on this. A lot of our travel will be focused on G’s World…

Wales Day 10: A Couple of Coastal Hikes
Sunday 11th May Today we had a sleep-in then made some phone calls before breakfast. We’d booked in for cooked breakfast at the main hotel and the earliest we could get in was 9:15 am. We both ordered the full Welsh breakfast minus the blood pudding—adventurous eating is not what I feel like in the…

City to Surf Weekend 2025

List #28: What We Did This Week on the NSW Central Coast

Wales Day 7: Pentir to St David’s Via Harlech Castle
Thursday May 8th 2025 Today we left our accommodation in Pentir to drive south to St David’s. There’s a few ways we could drive but I wanted to take one last drive through Eryri (Snowdonia).

Everyday Objects: Post Boxes
One of the photography projects on my 101 List is an everyday objects series. The idea was to pick something that I would see around the neighbourhood (or when travelling) and look out for those objects as I go about my days. I hadn’t even touched this project until our trip to the UK when…
