The Guest post for this week’s Friendly Friday theme of Nostalgia, comes from Lorelle, an Australian Mum of two, passionate traveller and foodie enthusiast, who blogs at A Mindful Traveller.

Many years ago, whilst travelling through country Australia, I snapped a photo of a patch of forest in an old park, where we'd stopped to have lunch. This was the days when you had to drop off your camera film and wait for several days, for it to be developed. Remember that? Weeks later, a… Continue reading Friendly Friday Challenge – Unusual
Vero writes: When Amanda asked me to write a post with the prompt, "Pink," my mind went in many directions first. Then I paused: what’s really my relationship with this girly colour? Let’s be honest, no matter how modern you are on the gender stereotyping theme, it will still take yonks before pink is something… Continue reading Friendly Friday: The Colour Pink – Guest Post
Young girls are pretty much divided into two camps - generally speaking. You are either a PINK or a PURPLE girl. As each person's eye sees colour, and variations of hue, a little differently and individually to the next, what is one person's dreamy hue might be something another person intensely dislikes.

I am not that fond of social media, but I do use it. Sounds a bit hypocritical, doesn't it? I rather like the Facebook 'Memories' feature. It reminds me of what I was doing on that same date, in previous years. They are always happy memories. (I generally don't post sad ones). Last year at… Continue reading Friendly Friday Challenge – Surprise
In these strange times of pandemic, we are called to act differently from the norm. We adjust our lifestyle to accommodate the lock downs and social distancing, according to our own countries.

Yellow features in Bee Gees Way It is Spring in the northern hemisphere, whilst we in the South, prepare for Autumn. Australian native plants don't follow a strict regime of flowering as they do in the North. Some flower all year round. That is Australia - the land of eternal sun. At least the Xanthostemon… Continue reading Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Yellow
As much as we have all seen photos of pet photos on the web, quirky or funny cat/dog videos never fail to get a laugh from their audience. Clever Schnauzer I know Schnauzers are clever, food-obsessed creatures, but did you know that, too? I am sure Peggy from Where to Next? and Alejandro from Chief… Continue reading Friendly Friday- Funny Furry Friends

Sandy over at The Sandy Chronicles, is hosting this week's Friendly Friday photo challenge and the theme was so tempting, I had to showcase some of my unexpected artsy photographs. Art can be cathartic, fun, controversial or just a bit hard to understand. From a pumpkin photobombing in Japan, to the wilds of Australia's farming… Continue reading Friendly Friday Challenge – Art Unexpected
