Bike rides, Tumbatrek steps, Tumbafest music, a new hairstyle, book club discussions and gym sessions. Life can be serious but you can still dance in the middle of it! My word of the year update for February. #WOTY #WOTY2026 #silliness #February #YearofSilliness #midlife #Tumbafest

The drive from Lake Louise to Banff may not have been long but we managed to fit a lot into it. Banff National Park had so much to see and do and our three days weren't enough!

Today's post is about the thoughts I have on blogging - why do we do it, is it egotistical, or is a simply a desire to connect with others? #blogging #midlife
The drive from Jasper to Lake Louise is a visual delight from start to finish, even in the rain! We slowed right down because the beauty unfolding around us deserved our full attention! This is the fourth postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special it was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #LakeLouise #columbiaicefield
While we complain about the heat, the birds are lining up for a drink. Heatwaves, thirsty wildlife and noticing what's happening when the temperature soars are covered in this week's #SundayStills post #blogging #home #feedingthebirds #Tumbarumba
Do you find that January brings the pressure? This month I've chosen lightness whenever possible - laughing at myself, letting go a bit more, and making the most of moments, noticing what makes me laugh and having fun. It might not be perfect but it's a good start. #WOTY #WOTY2026 #silliness #January #YearofSilliness #midlife
From Helmcken Falls to Jasper — lakes, glaciers and rugged mountains at every turn. This is the third postcard in my Postcards from Canada series, and a reminder of just how special that road trip was 🇨🇦 #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottingwithDG #Jasper
Three generations. Two very excited grandchildren. 💦🎉 We spent a sun-splashed day at Jamberoo Action Park celebrating upcoming birthdays — proof that fun has no age limit. #SundayStills #blogging #travel #JamberooActionPark #waterpark #funforallages #midlife

A strange, unsettling week in Tumbarumba, under a sky thick with smoke from a nearby bushfire and days of relentless heat. We're not in any danger and we're thankful to all those who are fighting the fires and the slightly cooler weather. #Tumbarumba #bushfires #australia #summer
Vancouver to Whistler is the first postcard in my new series Postcards from Canada - sparkling water, mountains, an open road - what a fabulous introduction to Canada. #Canada #roadtrip #travel #globetrottinggranny
