Tales and tribulations from my year spent living and working down under!
Wow. This week has absolutely flown by – I can’t quite believe it’s Sunday again already! It’s really been a continuation of #farmlife (yes, I really did just use a hash tag in the middle of some continuous prose) here at honeycomb valley, full of fun, laughs, dirt, honey, children and animals, so I thought … More Photo Of The Week: Goats & Polaroids
For those of you that know me, you’ll know that I am totally, absolutely, 100% obsessively in love with Ben Haggerty aka Macklemore. I love everything about him – his face, his hair, his eyes, his voice, his mind and most of all, his music. He writes incredible, heartfelt and meaningful lyrics to awesome tunes … More Photo Of The Week: An Evening With Macklemore
So I know I’m a few days late with this and we’re already 4 days into March but here’s my monthly spending summary for February 2014. Also can we just take a minute to focus on the fact that we are now into the third month of 2014…the THIRD?! how has that come around so … More Monthly Spending Summary: February ’14
It’s been a pretty wet and rainy week here at Honeycomb Valley and I’m left wondering where my Australian summer has gone? For the last 3 days the rain has poured down on us, and while it is very good for the fields and gardens, it’s not so good for my tan! Those of you … More Photo Of The Week: Rain, Rain, Go Away
Now, I would never describe myself as a country girl (growing up in London will do that to you), but over the last few years I’ve spent less time living in big cities, and more time living in remote, rural areas (like that time I lived on top of a mountain in France, or those … More Living The Farm Life
This week has been another one full of learning curves and awesome fun on the farm. I am loving farm life so much (I will write a post about it soon, I promise) – the people who work here are awesome, the hours are great (8am-3pm), there is a pool I can play in, an … More Photo Of The Week: Meet Nick. He’s My Favourite Kind Of Cow
After our not-so-successful stay at Hump Backpackers, we decided to give somewhere else a try for our last week in Sydney, so after scouring a few hostel comparison sites, we settled upon the Sydney Central Backpackers hostel, in a great location just round the corner from the hustle and bustle of Kings Cross’ main strip, … More Hostel Review: Sydney Central Backpackers, Sydney, Australia
This week has been full of firsts. First time living on a farm, first time feeding all the animals, first time milking a goat, first time opening the shop, and the list goes on. I’ve already learnt so much about farm life and it’s been a fantastic start to our 3 month stay at Honeycomb … More Photo Of The Week: A Misty Vineyard
Let’s start this hostel review with the fact that these guys have called their hostel Hump Backpackers? Can we talk about about that please? By the look of their logo I’m guessing they’re trying to reference a humpback(packing) whale, but even so, I don’t really get it, although seeing as they are located in the … More Hostel Review: Hump Backpackers, Sydney, Australia
**Disclaimer: This started out as a very sensible post about how my attitude to travelling has changed over the years but somewhere along the way it turned into a brain splurge of thoughts and feelings about my travelling life. It may not make much sense. Also, it is long. Read at your own will. I’ve … More The Most Honest Post I’ve Ever Written: Help?! I Think I’m A Travelling Snob.
