Love and Happiness: 3 months in Australia

Ramblings about life . . .

What I share about my life is simply to help reinforce the understanding that it is possible to live with love and laughter, even with tough times.

Life is what we make of it, no matter how harrowing. We accept and embody this with-in ourselves, thereby allowing the energy to manifest outwardly in our reality.

It starts with each one of us as an individual to form the collective consciousness.

Be the dream.

We honour the light and the life within you.

I upload other bloggers' posts and then delete after a month. This is my journey and others help me understand where I am, until they become irrelevant (a few posts excepted).

3 months in Australia

So...

Here we are back in the UK.

We spent a wonderful 3 months in Australia with daughter (and new husband), nephew, his wife, my grand niece, friends and their children and our new in-laws. Rekindling relationships after being isolated since January 2020. Strange weather though as it rained almost non-stop. Grey skies and later towards June really cold frosty mornings.

Didn't stop us doing any bushwalks and as usual I got leeches! How, I don't know as no-one else did.

Moving from house to house spending time with all was great and so much fun. We loved every minute.

It was an odd feeling not having to wear masks, show vaccination certificates, scan into places that we visited as it was the norm in NZ. At Auckland airport we had to have a negative PCR 72 hours prior to the flight, show vaccination certificates, scan into the airport. Paper work, paper work, paper work. I thought we'd get the same treatment at Sydney airport, but no, they simply waved us through.

I had a surprise birthday party arranged by Ashlee (our daughter) on the Saturday of the weekend we arrived. I kept wondering why no-one was coming to see us or invite us over as normally there is a bombardment of invites. Turns out she had been very stern with instructions that NO-ONE must let on what she'd arranged.

Hubby mentioned on the Saturday morning (we arrived Friday) that he wanted to take a drive somewhere, can't remember where, probably a garden centre or something. He kept dilly dallying which I found somewhat strange but never questioned it.

Lol, well when we arrived (not a car in sight) but as I walked in the door "surprise!"

And then there was the wedding...it finally happened after being postponed twice. Ashlee was determined that we would be there on her special day. Thankfully Traevis was able to fly in from UK and so as a family we were once again together for 4 weeks of togetherness and happiness. This will be on another post.

We watched Eurovision and dressed up for the occasion.
