I would like to say a huge thank you for your visit's during this year & wish you all a merry merry Christmas & wonderful holiday. And to keep in mind its not all about how much we spend on presents but on how much time we take to really appreciate loved ones, each other & family & friends and even if we can't see them at this time of year' we can send them so much love!

 This year the world has had some terrible terrible sadness & evilness' many will not be able to get over specially at this time of year, my heart goes out to you xxxx 

 We must look to our future with love in our hearts we only hear about the bad but there are so many many wonderful people all around us my Christmas wish is that one day we can all live in peace on this big beautiful planet............ 

And for the none believers you know the whole I don't believe in Santa' Think again as I have seen for myself while driving in the back seat of my sons car a flying pig in the sky really I did! hahaaa 

Pets get in the Christmas cheer ' Scouty my daughter's doggy loved her Christmas massage!

Enjoy setting your table' & have  fun as for us its a table on the balcony, turkey & roast potatoes' late lunch grandchildren s crazy  giggles & paper everywhere.............

So its by by from me till next year keep safe see you all next year! 

A hint of ''CHANEL''

My Hubby keep's asking me ''what do you want for Christmas'' 

so I though I would leave him a few hint's !

Emm..........what do you think ? I would say half a tiny drop left!

I put this next to his coffee cup this morning !

                        I asked BJ to read my last blog' he didn't move the ''CHANEL No 5 ''
                                                 that I left on my computer!
                                            hahaa knowing BJ he probably didn't even notice

''Chanel'' for me & a dinky toy for him sound's like a good idea don't you think?  

 Merry Christmas everyone ! 

Thank you for you'r visit & enjoy a ''CHANEL'' Kind of day!

LoVe your inner peace!

Not much word's today just breath & look at these lovely flowers

''Pink'' visit's our home!

I decided to add pink in our home' do you like it! 

 don't look at the holes in

 the back of our (''provincial chic'') cabinet hahaaa! we used for tv & video

Many moon's ago' will be cover up with book's! 

This pink color is so nice & depending on the light in the room it changes to light pink to dark pink  it's very pretty!

As you know ''pink is my favorite color.....

Next to my camera' my other love  comes close to second, yes the 'paint'' brush. When my children were small I was always changing wall's with a splash of paint' I love the outcome & it beat's going to a therapist hahaa as my sister in-law once said to me she read about how painting is good therapy she said Pam you must of been very depressed, hahaaa!

If you get in my way sorry your pink! 

Everything old is new again & most of my furniture is old french shabby chic' so it doesn't  matter if I make a mistake or two, just don't look to close heheee Just  like when I make my own cushion's never pull a lose thread!

My absolutely love of LoVe 

 is Peonies & yes only in ''PiNk'' I took  this image late last year & I adore it' these flowers were truly magical!

Happy day everyone hope its a pinky kind of Wednesday!

Thank you for your visit..

We had a great visit early this sunny morning ' Bj shouted get the camera' so it was put on to auto focus & snap snap snap got a lot of rubbish, but managed some funny one's ' no glasses anyhoo it was fun!

Still call ''Australia'' home!

Happy day everyone & thank you for your visit.....

Lost coffee /champagne at Marina Mirage!

Very windy today on the Gold Coast & looks a like storm is on its way' 

Who's complaining' Gold Coast has the best weather in Australia' & with only 74 more sleeps till Christmas' are you thinking ''holidays''

 This is a wonderful place to visit' no I don't work for a travel agent or own one (I wish) or get payed to says this or take image's for a travel mag! 

(lol' not a bad idea) My little corner of the world has been my home for a very very long time so I think I qualify to recommend this beautiful place

And 

I know you will LoVe  it too......

We have a wide array of wonderful restaurants' children s them parks, shopping till you drop kind of days.

And lazy carefree sitting at the beautiful Marina Mirage sipping coffee & eating cake, while watching the world go by. The most gorgeous beach in the world (next blog)

 you will end up wanting to live here Just as we did many many years ago! 

So If you are like me & drawn to water this is It!!

 Main Beach a Gorgeous part of Gold Coast.

And I'm sure you will never want to leave......  

I hate litter bugs' I dropped my almost full cup of coffee in the river' hope no one heard my sister swear' ''honestly''  you would of thought it was her coffee, me swear (never) 

 So sorry little fish! 

so after my coffee disaster its only fitting I have a glass of champagne 

' well that's what the sign was telling me'' its not my fault ''really''.....

Thank you for your visit happy midweek everyone!

GawdBlimey/Tinkerbell/Unicorns & Robin Hood

I was born in Manchester England so I have always wished secretly that I was Tinkerbell wishing I could be in two places at once' I have been in Australia (my loVely home) since a child but never the less I'm a Manchester girl in my heart, been back a few times & always feel I belong its a strange feeling!.....

  we got our  Ethnicity result' mine came back 100 percent European, but the big shock for me was I'm only 31 percent great Britain. ''Gawd Blimey'' I'm Robin hood through & through kind of girl!

 13 percent Europe West'..Germany..Poland.... ( Paris) merci beaucoup....

Our big family has a very very long line of beautiful green/blue eyes maybe this is where they come from

 8 percent Scandinavia....3 percent Finland / northwest Russia

The biggest shock of all was I'm 45 percent Irish' (Luck of the Irish)  that counts for a lot ''shouted my husband' ''cheeky'' hahaaa

 So I like to  decorate mannequins with union jacks now I have to look out for unicorns ........ 

My only dilemma now is I want to go & visit all these wonderful  places'

 I wounder if my beautiful brain can remember all the languages' from long long long ago' if you are a relative reading this do not answer hahaaaa

Thank you for your visit happy day everyone ''CHEERIO''  for now...

Spirit Of Qld spirit of Australia!

Be mesmerised with beauty!

From water to dry land... 

This is Australia

Rustic & old & smoken!

Every window of the train has a different story....

Sugar cane everywhere.... Enjoy your day everyone thank you for your visit.
