Next week I am going to Australia for a month to stay with some very special people.
This won’t be my first visit to Oz as I lived there for a year in 1977/78. Then I lived in Queensland, first in Surfers Paradise and later on Lindeman Island on the Barrier Reef. It was a wonderful year and I fell in love with the country. Now as I plan my return – this time to Adelaide in South Australia – I wonder how different it will be after 35 years!
I plan to try and blog my journey which starts at Heathrow, then a couple of days in Singapore before heading off to Adelaide via Melbourne. Hopefully I will meet some interesting people en route, have some exciting new adventures and, most attractive at the moment, some SUNSHINE!
2012 was a year of major change for me. I turned 65 and gave up full time work and decided to build up my work as a Reiki practitioner and also to spend more time writing - a neglected hobby I have enjoyed since I was at school. The one thing I did not do is RETIRE. Since then I have trained as a civil celebrant, taking funerals and conducting baby naming ceremonies so life definitely began for me at 65!
That was 8 years ago and I still haven't retired :) I continue to take funerals, as well as write for pleasure (and maybe one day publication...). I am a firm believer in staying mentally active even if physically it gets harder with age. 2020 has been a challenging year for us all, no matter what our age, but we need to stay positive. We only get one go at this life, so don't waste it!
