Midlife – travel, fun and adventure
Reluctantly we left Halcyon Hot Springs after a massage and a soak and headed to Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley. We loved our bike ride on the Myra Canyon part of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. This is the seventh postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special it was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #kelowna #myracanyon
It's time for our monthly What's on Your Bookshelf linkup. I've had a great month of reading and found it hard to pick a favourite. You're welcome to join us! Read on to see what I've read over the past month. #whatsonyourbookshelfchallenge #WOYBS #amreading #books
The drive from Banff to Emerald Lake and then onto Halcyon Hot Springs may not have been all that far but we saw a lot along the way - Marble Canyon, Takakkaw Falls, the Spiral Tunnels, Natural Bridge. This is the sixth postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special it was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #emeraldlake #halcyonhotsprings
Do you follow style icons or are you like me, lost in the wilderness marching to the sound of your own drum? I consider myself a Joyful Original in this month's post for the global Tell us About challenge. New post up now! #TellUsAbout #blogging #midlifeblogger #midlife #writing #fashion #style #colour #styleicons
The drive from Lake Louise to Banff may not have been long but we managed to fit a lot into it. Banff National Park had so much to see and do and our three days weren't enough! This is the fifth postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special it was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #banff #johnstoncanyon #banffnationalpark
The drive from Jasper to Lake Louise is a visual delight from start to finish, even in the rain! We slowed right down because the beauty unfolding around us deserved our full attention! This is the fourth postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special it was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #LakeLouise #columbiaicefield
From Helmcken Falls to Jasper — lakes, glaciers and rugged mountains at every turn. This is the third postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special that road trip was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #Jasper
Today's post is about the thoughts I have on blogging - why do we do it, is it egotistical, or is a simply a desire to connect with others? #blogging #midlife
While we complain about the heat, the birds are lining up for a drink. Heatwaves, thirsty wildlife and noticing what's happening when the temperature soars are covered in this week's #SundayStills post #blogging #home #feedingthebirds #Tumbarumba
Do you find that January brings the pressure? This month I've chosen lightness whenever possible - laughing at myself, letting go a bit more, and making the most of moments, noticing what makes me laugh and having fun. It might not be perfect but it's a good start. #WOTY #WOTY2026 #silliness #January #YearofSilliness #midlife
Three generations. Two very excited grandchildren. 💦🎉 We spent a sun-splashed day at Jamberoo Action Park celebrating upcoming birthdays — proof that fun has no age limit. #SundayStills #blogging #travel #JamberooActionPark #waterpark #funforallages #midlife
From Sun Peaks and Helmcken Falls is the second postcard in my new series Postcards from Canada - lakes, mountains, an open road, waterfalls - what a fabulous road trip we had in Canada. #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG
It's time for our first What's on Your Bookshelf linkup for 2026. We're back in 2026 for more books and reviews with two new co-hosts joining the fun. Read on to see what I've read over the past month. #whatsonyourbookshelfchallenge #WOYBS #amreading #books
A strange, unsettling week in Tumbarumba, under a sky thick with smoke from a nearby bushfire and days of relentless heat. We're not in any danger and we're thankful to all those who are fighting the fires and the slightly cooler weather. #Tumbarumba #bushfires #australia #summer
Vancouver to Whistler is the first postcard in my new series Postcards from Canada - sparkling water, mountains, an open road - what a fabulous introduction to Canada. #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottinggranny
It's burning hot at the moment here in Tumbarumba so it's quite fitting that my thoughts turn to snow, especially as that's the topic for this month's Tell us About challenge. New post up now! #TellUsAbout #blogging #midlifeblogger #midlife #writing #snow #Australia #tumbarumba
Listening taught me a lot last year. This year I'm making room for SILLINESS. Chosen deliberately. Less seriousness. More silliness. Same me. Encouraged and supported by my grandchildren! #WOTY #WOTY2026 #silliness
Sunday Stills is all about taking a look back at 2025 this week. I'm combining photos with a question and answer format in the one post as a nod at my year. A big year and here's hoping 2026 will be even better. #SundayStills #blogging
I would like to wish you all a happy new year for 2026 and thanks for all your support during 2025. With love from my world to yours....
It's time for our final What's on Your Bookshelf linkup for 2025. We'll be back again in 2026 for more books and reviews. Read on to see what I read during December. #whatsonyourbookshelfchallenge #WOYBS #amreading #books
