Watsons Bay…
Tuesdays Staycation was Watsons Bay & the Gap. Miss T and I have done this jaunt before, but while Mr T and I have spent many a happy afternoon at the Watto Bay pub, he hasn’t done the walk up to the… Read More
Norah Head…
Mr T didn’t ask if he could move in with me- he just stopped going home. That was 24 years ago. It took me a couple of months to notice- by which time I was used to the idea. I can be… Read More
Sydney Fish Markets
Every so often I crave prawns. And oysters. Just as they are. No sauce, no frying, no cheesey stuff on top. Just natural. And not just any prawns will do- I need Aussie king prawns. At those times only two possibilities will… Read More
friday five: the staycation five

coogee to bondi coast walk
I’m about to stray into too much information territory- it hurts to sit down…and walk…and move. Stairs- and lots of them- tend to do that to you! Bondi is quintessentially Sydney- yet I have never been here. I don’t count coming through… Read More
watsons bay
I remember the first time I went to Watsons Bay. We were with my sister and her (new) husband, long before children came into our lives- she now has enough to populate a small village (a minor exaggeration)… Anyways, we arrived by… Read More

baha’i temple
I’ll let you into a little secret- I’m a sucker for a dome. And great big, white 9 sided buildings plonked down in the middle of Australian suburban bushland. I also have a strange fascination with photographing really cool looking places of… Read More
