''Wherever You Will Go''

What put this man in a pensive mood was it his wife' ( NeVeR) was it the gentle rocking of the train going from Brisbane to Gladstone was it the great music' was it the beautiful scenery! 

was he wishing, was his imagination floating down river!

I really like to think his master hahaa was actually enjoying our train trip, its like you get to tour an art galley of gorgeous paintings' one after the other & each one has has a very unique brush stroke.

Then lunch & lovely glass of red a great movie, read & back to the art gallery!

In this painting they have used an old Australian  prop the wonderful old Hills clothes line remember when you were small jumping on swinging around & around, See its not just a train trip it takes you back to your childhood!

Stopping at Bundaberg is like going back in time' the old train station has that wonderful feeling of apple pie & ice-cream, I wish I could of got some images (next time ) of the love that embraced the faces, the Australian vision of LoVe Actually as people greeted one another!

 Is the red light  trying to tell you to Stop & think about your next holiday, treat your self to a train trip you wont be disappointed!

 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!

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!

''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..
