About Me

My photo
I am a full-time mama with a passion for writing and talking to fascinating people. I live in a one horse town with a Cowboy and my son. Thank Lord for cyberspace! I lived a colourful life in Sydney for a number of years. Working in advertising and journalism for FPC and the Sydney Morning Herald. During my time in Sydney I competed in a Dragon Boat race, choreographed a dragshow, used the Share Accomodation advertisements as a way to meet men and was told by Noiseworks frontrunner Jon Stevens that I was a bitch! Then came the decision to move back to country for 3 months to help out my Father with newspaper business while he was having treatment. Convinced I was a city girl I was caught by surprise when I fell in love with a farmer (and no, he didn't want a wife... still doesn't it seems!) convinced him that we needed to see the world, popped off to Vietnam to teach english in Saigon - before realising that the "food" in Nam didn't agree with me... turned out to be Monte - my son who is now with the Cowboy and I back in country NSW! I am in a wonderful stage of my life where I am focusing on the things that really make me tick. Including writing these chronicles.

She has 90 years on him




Another reason I am glad I moved to the OHT.
My 91 year old Grandma (who still lives on her own) and my 1 year old son.
I never would have thunk it.
And she lives just up the road!
I love that they are so close
She is sharp as a whip, and still puts her own bin out.
Monte grins like a trooper as soon as we pull in at Grandma's
he knows its walking stick o clock

  3. Wow- I wish my kids had great-grandparents. We're down to only having two grandparents let alone the greats. How wonderful for your little man.

  5. Aw, how sweet. GG missed meeting my Grandparents, but I swear when she was a baby my Grandma was there. I kept smelling her perfume and getting her vibe, and GG kept looking over my shoulder on the change table and smiling like she smiled at people she knew.
    P.S - Go Grandma!!! They breed 'em tough in OHT huh?

  10. i am still laughing...walking stick o'clock!
    so great.
    Also, I love seeing pictures of the oldest and youngest generations of a family. There is something really amazing about a connection that spans between someone who lived through the deppression, a world war, the advances of technology she must have seen not to mention through fashions...and Monte who will see just as many advances to who knows where?
