It’s been a big week and my learnings are varied.
1. Better late than never!
2. A hagiologist chronicles the lives of saints.
3. If you discover a word that you have never seen before like hagiologist, you will invariably stumble over it time and time again in the next 48 hours.
4. Sitting in a peaceful, beautiful garden, reflecting on the road behind and the road ahead is the best form of meditation there is.
5. The GPS Navman lady is very bossy and if you disobey her stern warnings she will lead you in a merry circle as punishment.
6. There isn’t a town on the East Coast of Australia that doesn’t have a chinese restaurant.
7. The official ski season starts in the Snowy Mountains next weekend.
8. The paintings in the National Gallery of Australia’s Masterpieces from Paris exhibition somehow looked even more interesting and vibrant than when I saw them all shuffled together at the Musee d’Orsay. Perhaps this is due to the ‘important exhibition’ nature of the NGA’s showing.
9. I love an open road.
10. There is no place more exciting, more inspiring, more fun or more delicious than home.

How lovely to be on a road trip on your own! I would love to do that one day.. just me, the open road and my thoughts.. and no GPS (she is painful especially when she says ‘recalculating’.

I am now looking out for the word hagiologist as I have never come across it before.
I dislike our Sat Nav lady too. Although we do rely upon her as I don’t drive or read maps and I think my husband likes her. Her name is Mandy and she has a very cut glass accent. It was either her or a man with an American twang.
Your garden looks amazing.

Hi Jess – I was embarassed to put a ‘followers’ button as – only have two (probably my mum and my sister!) But lured by the thought of a 50% increase, I’ll put it up just for you!
Hi deerbaby – I wish! The amazing garden is Foxglove Spires on the NSW South Coast at Tilba Tilba. MY garden is somewhat less inspiring (but I try). I think I posted on your site how much I love your deer collection. Thanks for stopping by!

Can I use part of the information from your post right above if I give a backlink back to this website?
Thanks,
