The Little Road Trip
It might be short and sweet, but this little adventure feels HUGE!
I’m Taking A Quick Road Trip
Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take. Angela N. Blount Hey, Lovelies. I’ll be away from my desk today. I need to take an unexpected road trip. We’ve got a few things going on in the background right now as Ben and I work to move all […]
My Upcoming Long Weekend cos ROAD TRIP
Who doesn’t love a road trip? Says just about everyone! Hey, Lovelies! Just a short post to let you know that I’ll be away from my desk, and AWAY FROM MY COMPUTER from today, Friday 4 September to Tuesday 8 September. It’s my birthday on Sunday, and I haven’t had a break, not even a […]
The Road To Sedona
“Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they are doing. Do things without always knowing how they’ll turn out. You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. […]
The Taste of Freedom
“When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.” ~ Nelson Mandela We always clip our dogs onto short leads on the back seat of the car when we travel. It keeps the dogs confined to their positions (otherwise they’d both be […]
Road Trip Treasures!
“You can either be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It all depends on how you view your life.” ~ Paulo Coelho Late last week Ben and I slipped away from the farm for a few days. We took a simple road trip into country New South Wales. […]
I’m Taking A Short Road Trip
“Go outside. Don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Start walking and keep walking until you no longer know the road like the palm of your hand, because we walk the same roads day in and day out, to the bus and back home and we cease to see. We walk in our sleep […]
Coming Home
“Now, on this road trip, my mind seemed to uncrinkle, to breathe, to present to itself a cure for a disease it had not, until now, known it had.” ― Elizabeth Berg, The Year of Pleasures I’ve been in the city so long this last stay. It was necessary. Bert needed surgery. Then Harry. […]
The Long Drive Home
“When anybody honks at me in traffic, I blush, wave, and shout, “Thanks for being a fan.” Being a celebrity is a 24/7 thing.” ~ Jarod Kintz It was a slow trip from the country to the city yesterday. It didn’t take long to pack the car, but the detours and delays, they were […]
Calling me back…
“When we illuminate the road back to our ancestors, they have a way of reaching out, of manifesting themselves…sometimes even physically.” ~ Raquel Cepeda, Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina All things going well, I shall be on the road this Sunday, heading out to Longreach in Western Queensland for a few weeks. Ben and […]
Homeward bound!
“And when the day arrives I’ll become the sky and I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.” ~ Trent Reznor The ute’s all packed, it’s not quite dawn and we’re heading home to the farm. I’m filled with a quiet thrill. […]
Gifts from the Road…
I’m home. I slept in my own bed last night. Today I have work in front of me – a long, intense stretch of it, in fact. But it doesn’t matter. I feel renewed, and something in me has been mended. Maybe it was all that good roadhouse and bakery food. We started with a […]
Who Doesn’t Love a Road Trip?
“Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” ~ Anatole France By the time you read this I’ll be out on the road. Me, my husband, our trusty old ute… Who doesn’t love a road trip? This trip is timely for me after a big few weeks of life at its […]
