    Nimbin

    10 juin 2022, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    A venomous snake, feline seizures, and a very special dinner guest.

    Who would have thought - Nimbin. I had 2 weeks here in a beautiful permaculture property and spacious surrounds. It was a good start and an opportunity to settle with my thoughts and commit to the journey. Had a quick lightning round trip to Murwillumbah to visit an old friend who actually solidified my blog name (thanks Cloudy) 1000's of potholes and washed-away roads were quite confronting but it’s a little piece of paradise.

    Challenge No1: Venomous Snake
    Tropidechis carinatus to be exact. Whhaaat! I have seen a python up close before in Coffs Harbour lazying in the sun on the driveway. Was beautiful actually, but Mr Rough belly, no thank you.

    Lucky for me it was not moving fast but a really great way to test my resilience. After a friendly visit by a neighbour to access the situation, the suggestion was to call Wires, all was sorted within a half hour and Mr Snake was in the bag taken for assessment. Yay.

    Challenge No2: Feline seizures.
    Feline what! Ok, I was told it was a possibility but not likely to happen on my watch. Ummm, well, it happened twice. Poor Charlie, and poor me. How distressing. More him than me of course but the first time it happened he was up the cat climbing tree and literally jumped into my arms as I slowly guided him to the ground sandwiched in some cushions. Mon Dieu.

    That special dinner guest.
    It had been 4 months since we saw each other face to face and our story was not even 6 months old...yes, yes, lots of calls, video, and texts but it would have been very possible and normal to meet again and it would just be polite and friendly. But... do you know the rain scene from Notebook? It was like that - well, sort of, except there was no rain, and although he is strong, not that strong to carry this curvy woman haha. The feeling was amazing and those 4 months just disappeared. What a lovely surprise.    En savoir plus

    Sawtell

    10 juin 2022, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Awwee Sawtell. My Northern happy place - I stop when I can.

    The owners at Spit Cafe still recognize me even after soooo many years. I lived in the area full-time for a year, freelancing for Coastal Living Magazine and also traveling back there during production season after moving back to Sydney. I also managed Shellies On The Beach holiday homes for 6 years so altogether has led to me being a familiar face. It feels really nice.

    The local fuel stop still has personal service but I'm equally appreciative and horrified by the signs :)    En savoir plus

    Eungai Rail NSW

    9 juin 2022, Australie ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Not my photos but what a cute little Airbnb find to break up my travel to Nimbin.

    Off the highway and almost out of fuel I arrived after the sun had gone down. At one point I thought I was going to sleep in the car because I couldn't find it and the phone service was awful so I couldn't call the host. I finally did thank goodness.En savoir plus

    Naremburn

    9 juin 2022, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    I had to move to Naremburn (clears throat - cause of Covid) after 9 years in a cute little apartment in Cremorne. I still have my art studio in Brand X - Creative Precinct in St Leonards so I wanted to stay close by for a while. Naremburn was a good little base and while there, grew herbs, succulents, potatoes, and even made cheese for the first time.

    Well after about 18 months nothing really was figured out....Hmmm....I tried.

    Doing property/pet sitting full time was not my life plan. I did pet sitting occasionally for friends and one paying couple. It was a win-win and I loved having some pet time here and there. When the idea of doing it full-time crossed my mind it was a bit far reached at first as I didn't think I could handle more uncertainty. So, I tested the waters by doing a month-long pet sit close-by while keeping the place in Naremburn. Well I survived so only then made a conscious effort to try it for up to a year. I had nothing to lose and a huge amount to gain.

    I'm still keeping the art studio for now.    En savoir plus
