AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Mess of Living


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On top of a cupboard in the third bedroom are many of my bits and pieces that just don't fit anywhere.
I can't part with my little collection of fluffy toys!
Even that luggage bag is full!
Everything is just jammed together!
