I am writing this in the airport at Denpasar. My last few hours in Indonesia. I have spent the last week in Ubud and started to feel very at home, so much so that it was difficult to leave. Undoubtably there is an ‘Eat Pray Love’ thing happening there with lots of single women in … More What a difference a day makes
I don’t normally write about the actual places I stay in but this week, I have hardly left the place so it deserves a mention. I have been staying in a self described eco village called Desa Seni in Canggu. It’s simply fabulous. Check out their site if you are ever looking for a place … More Lockdown
So an update on the plan. I am making my way to Ireland. Intend to be there in September after a few stops here and there.The first of which is Bali where I am now. There’s lots of different ways to spend your time in Bali. My aim is to do very little and spend a lot … More Bali, on a go slow

So it was great to spend some time in the woods around Pemberton. After the recent wet weather, it was less of the crack of a twig underfoot and more of a … More Southern Forests
Seriously. I have never seen so many in such a short space of time. They are everywhere and I think they are following me along the south coast. Unfortunately I am never close to the end of them so no pot of gold has yet been found. Over the last few days I have been meandering … More I am being stalked……………..by rainbows
I might need an ark! A rainy day today so had loads of free time indoors with power and wifi – simple pleasures It’s the first chance I have actually had to look through all my photos from the trip so far. Wow! It really is good to stop every once in a while and just … More Snatches and Glimpses
