photographs taken from and around my house, which is perched on top of a high and remote mountain in Australia, overlooking the amazing Great Barrier Reef islands.
Even just silly things like standing on the back verandah watching the fires come up the mountain and wondering if we might have to be evacuated… Waking up in the morning and standing out looking over the mountains to the sea and giving the cat a cuddle or feeding the birds… even just being sat in the kitchen talking to mum while she cooks.
I sat here with my colleagues peering over my shoulder with envy that I’d grown up in such a beautiful place, and I definitely shed a few tears…
It makes me think I was mad to ever come to England…
Phil…the only reason for these few words is to thank you for the pix of your mountain home. What a tremendous reason to get homesick. I wish you God’s speed going back to your paradise.
I’m living like I’m dying…and have a very short ‘bucket list’ Money is always the fun stopper!
