On Tuesday night we had a fire. Don’t worry though, it wasn’t an actual “my house is burning down, save the kids and that photo of Aunty Beryl” kind of fire; exciting things like that don’t happen in Marvel Loch. No, this was a pit fire. A pit fire in the bush…with alcohol! Trine and … More Days all blend together in good old Marvel Loch
On my return from Australia in July 2015, a decision that in hindsight I wish I’d thought more about, my burning, itchy feet had barely touched the ground before I knew I had to up and leave again. With financial woes preventing me from embarking on another trip of a lifetime so soon after returning … More Daytrippin’: Travelling soothes the soul; forever shall I wander, free and in love with the world.

My time in Orange has basically been spent as follows: Gym, Work, Sleep, Repeat. Boring huh? It appears that my ability to settle into a place and go about my … More That Time We Drove To Adelaide.
Christmas is well and truly over. New Year celebrations have been and gone and it’s now the beginning of February; 2015 is in full flow, and surprisingly (or maybe not) I find myself in a place called Orange in central NSW. The decision to come to Orange was not one I made on a whim. … More Life In Technicolour…Or Just Orange.
My first blog of 2015, my first after a two week hiatus and it should be filled with tales of fun and laughter, it should be bursting with forward thinking ideas and be packed with positive possibilities. I should be sat here writing how much I’m looking forward to what the New Year will bring, … More New Year, Same Fears.

As the course of my life had changed so much throughout 2013 and as I’d made some life-changing decisions about … More My 365 Grateful Project
*Rubbish blog post alert. Hangs head in shame* Wow, so I’m entering my sixth week of being in Australia and I’m still in Brisbane, and I’m still working. Since I last updated my Blog, nothing much has happened to be honest. No wild adventures to speak of, no fleeting escapades and tales of debauchery; it’s … More Since I Left You…
I visited Belgium in December 2013 and it was cold. Really cold. As the festive period was getting underway there were a lot of Christmas markets dotted about and various other seasonal offerings, similar to what you’d find in many other European cities at this time of year. I can’t give you tips on where … More Brussels – it’s full of churches and it’s really, really cold.
