The Mojo is back and the tours are on the books.
Have you found that the days have begun to run into one another? The weekend came around extremely fast this week, it just snuck up on me. Then again, I’ve been busily working in the studio. Quilting, illustrating, appliquéing and writing and venturing out very little. Here in South Australia, Covid 19 is no longer…
It’s time to go home – Teaching and Traveling.
Going home today. It’s time to interact with family, walk in the garden, drive my own car, sit in the sun, watch TV in my big orange lounge chair. I’m going to buy the new porch swing and purchase a fancy new bed that will probably last me till I depart. What more can I…
Simply stunning.
Images of a visit to the puppeteers village in Jaipur, the pictures tell the story.
The Taj Mahal.
India. Traveling out of Delhi we move in a stream of traffic. Our speed is slower than others on the road because there are new legislated speed limits for passenger buses and trucks, so we are passed by a ribbon of bikes and tuk tuks, hand on horn and a speed way attitude. Our driver…

Venture out into the city.
I opted to walk back to the hotel knowing that it was going to be a little bit of an army manoeuvre trying to cross the busy roads. With google maps on my phone, it guided me past food vendors on the pavements, groups of people with entitlement to their small patch of path. I congratulated myself at each of the 6 crossings I completed on the crazy traffic hugging roads.
Continue the Journey.
The book of travels Delhi My day began with the most delicious breakfast. Sitting in a restaurant where you look quite out of place is an interesting experience. I think I was the only European person visiting today. I sat amongst young women in beautiful Saris, Business men in suits and Indian tourists. Its…
The things that stir the imagination.
Our travel companions will be exposed to the beauty, the day to day workings and sometimes, the sheer luxury of India. For me, the excitement of my trips is waking the senses and being challenged. I enjoy exploring and capturing what some would say is the mundane with my camera. So we will source our…
