Back in 2009, I went to Santiago Chile for a Conference, and as part of the Conference, we went to Valle Nevado up in the Andes. Lunch, which was served inside but we could take it outside, was devine, but I was more impressed in the surrounding views as opposed to the food. Would you agree?

I had a little difficulty in deciding what to do for this one... I could've done Bronty as a puppy, and even then, she wasn't that 'tiny'... So I went in search of what was in my flickr account, and I got zero hits for 'Tiny'! Hmmm, I puzzled for a little bit, and then I thought, 'what about one of my macro shots' and this is what I got in return. It is a Crocus which is in the back garden, and its tiny stamens are of bright yellow.

With her unconditional love, it would be a hands down to Bronty... Not that other people DON'T make me happy, because they truely do and there's way to many to name individually, but Bronty just has that 'special' kinda happiness... Even though at times, she can be a complete and utter cow, she still remains close...

It was a long time ago, June 15th 2010 actually, when I achieved Gold Status with Emirates. I had used the airline extensively for a period, and I will go back to flying with them, but for now at least, I'm simply price driven and the best fare on the day wins...

I Often get asked as to whats my favourite colour... And, it has nothing to do with my chosen working field, but as a greenkeeper and Turf Researcher, I would have to say of course it is green!
Why is that I hear you ask?? Well, to me, its such a pleasing colour, its not 'harsh' as some of the reds, oranges and yellows, its not as 'cold' as some of the blues around either. Yet green, seems relaxing, cool and simply pleasant... And, in this photo of the fierce and mean Jasmine, aren't you becoming relaxed seeing the green background of my lawn? I am...

This one, is not in the true spirit of the title in that it is not my reflection... AND NO, it is NOT an April Fools either! But in so many ways, it could be... you see, next to my friend DW, is in fact another Bernie Proctor - thus my (aged) reflection perhaps?? It is sad though the the late Bernie Proctor is now gone, and that I only knew him for a very short period, but he was very much the gentleman...

There was no denying it, L loved her crafty toys... All manner of toys were sought after from local 'crafters to international crafters, there was at times, no stopping her!
Here are some samples of the crafty toys we collected along the way...

OH&S in Australia is pretty strict, steel capped boots, high vis shirts/vests and so on... So when in Ubud, Bali, you can imagine my horror in seeing the following on a construction site!!!

In Sydney, rubbish collection is done in the wee hours of the morning, by a truck, and the whole process is semi-automated. Now, in Turkey, Tire, it is collected by a trailer drawn by a tractor! It was quite quirky really, but in the small village, its all needed!!
