About Me

My photo
Hello there from sunny Nth Qld in Australia...the luckiest country on the planet AT THE MOMENT! I'm retired and recently widowed. I love to travel . Airplane, boat, walking but mostly by means of my motorcycle. I love to garden too. I have a wee small doggie named George and an old cat named Kitty. Two years on from Tim passing we three have almost sorted out living without him. I think it will be 'almost' forever more.Can't see me being over it completely if you know what I mean. I intend to fill these blogs with my journey on my bike.Too much has happened in the space between today and my last blog. This is my last ditch effort to revive my creative writing skills.

Adventures in Paradise

Today we rode from home to Pallarenda and up to Mount Stuart and back home. Around 98 kls. Not as far as last week when we did the Townsville to Townsville round by Giru, Woodstock and Stuart with a stop at Alligator Creek. That was 170 kls. We are talking even further for our next weekly run. It is getting a little too hot to be out in the middle of the day so it is early morning adventures so far. Tim is taking to this biking like a fish to water. I think I have created a monster.
Mount Stuart was beautiful this morning. You could see all the islands of the Palm Group all the way to Hinchinbrook. Our city looked sublime from up there.

 Our first group ride up the highway to Balgal Beach.

Aquapella World Music Choir: 'Naduri' (Georgian working song)



My experience of joining a choir, sparked by a workshop I did with Tony Backhouse,  has been a journey of fun and pure excitement. Finding yourself in front of an audience shamelessly brazen and ready to perform is definitely a place I would never have thought  I'd find myself. But here I am with my fellow choristers. I'll be heading off to Woodford after Christmas for the week long folk festival...another first for me. I think I am going to make a habit of 'first's'. They are fun!
