Getting my head around my blog

Well I am still working on improving my blog and have just discovered today that you can buy templates ALREADY DONE on Etsy!!!!! Well that will be my next stop to improve things!

I am also exploring new more effective (hopefully) names..... 

Watch this space as they say!

Off for a bit of r and r in London

Well i have decided to have a mini break and am at the present moment on a very empty train down to London.....

I am off to spend some quality time with my daughter's godparents who i have known for 25 years....they were our next door neighbours when we lived in South Africa and i met them when i was in my final year of my BA degree at Wits University.

I was thinking the other day of the places in the world i have been lucky enough to see and in some cases live in and where my next priorities are....

The trip from Moscow to Beijing via the Trans-Mongolian express has to be one highlight to look forward to and Vietnam and Cambodia are the countries i am particularly excited about....oh and Phi Phi in Thailand....

There seems to be so much world to see and hopefully in the New Year more concrete plans will materialise...

Watch this space as they say!

Not long to go now....

Well after nearly 12 weeks in Norway my husband is nearly due home....another 10 days or so. There is even more snow and he has tried (unsucessfully) to build a snowman! The snow is too powdery though so he didnt have sucess. Not bad really for a guy who really doesnt like snow...

I have been playing around with Polyvore creating all sorts of pretty sets....travel isnt far from my mind. I have a few orders to get out for my business and then i am shutting shop for Christmas. These seem to have been shared on my blog....I really do need to learn how to run a blog in the. New Year...I think that is a resolution!!!!

My daughter has an interview at Oxford University next week which is very exciting.....So all in all a good month!

House decorations have started with avengeance. 

And plans are starting on our trip to South-East Asia.... Well a map is on my dining room wall!

On another note....The World lost the most amazing leader and man this week - 

Its snowing in Norway and you must see these pictures

How beautiful is this.....

Must do better

Having had a look at some amazing blogs this morning I have realised i need to improve this one as it is too basic...so a trip to the local library is in order...Blogging for Dummies is on the list in the hope. I can revamp my blog!

 

Wouldn't it be lovely to join the band of people who just travel...forever...There seem to be loads of people in their 20's travelling and 20 years ago i was one of them. I remember the excitement of arriving in Paris in December 1989 after having just completed my first degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa....freedom to now do what i wanted.

Now over 24 years later and i feel the same way...on the verge of a big adventure...a scary one! After all i am 46 shouldn't i be settled now? But you know what I have no desire for materials things..for the big house and the posh cars...that does not appeal...not if it means i am stuck...My main belief is that THERE ARE MANY LIVES TO LEAD...why just pick one? Your life and view of the world is only one view and I want to live many...

My favourite quote.....The World is like a book....and those who do not travel read only one page....and you know what i want to read the entire book from cover to cover....that is my goal in life...

And this is an awful picture...lol! 

My trip to Switzerland in August!

OJust realised there were no pictures of my trip to Switzerland in the summer - probably because it was a solo trip! Anyway here are a few pics!

Another walk and more houses

I seriously cannot get enough of the houses here in Laerdal - I think they are absolutely stunning - today we walked along the river then back into town so I could take more pictures of them. Today is my last full day here as tomorrow we head for Voss and Bergen for the weekend.
