Read more: Willow Not In The Eagle’s NestThe great thing about having a campervan is that it’s always ready to go. So instead of driving home last Friday afternoon, I picked up Steph and we drove away on another adventure.

Read more: Of Cats and Commutes – My First Day Back At WorkI see the snow sprinkled mountain in my rear-view mirror as I drive down Macquarie Street on a June morning. The people walking to work are adorned in rain jackets and winter beanies, and their breath condenses in the crisp air. It’s 7:45am and I’m on my way to work. The traffic is moving freely…

Willow And I Became A Meme And I’m Not Sure How I Feel About It
Read more: Willow And I Became A Meme And I’m Not Sure How I Feel About ItOn a warm, late afternoon in a forest of the Barossa Valley, South Australia, Willow and I were unwinding after a long day of doing not a lot. It was September I think, or possibly October – you’ll have to forgive me for this afternoon was over 4 years ago. And, as we sat on…
