For some reason this made me really happy...

I am not sure if you guys have seen this before. I know it is an ad but it still made me smile and who doesn't want to start the day with a smile.




I hope you enjoy.

Love amanda

Moving is easy, right?

I just wanted to post a picture to show my first impression of Melbourne...





I never got flat tyres when I lived in Canberra!

first summer harvest....


These are fresh from my garden! Not such a big crop, but these are the most delicious stawberries and tomatoes I have ever tasted, so that has to count for something! Mmmmm yum!

Am I Nuts?

9am. December 24th. Christmas Eve. What am I doing?


After being given a skydiving adventure for my birthday a few weeks ago, I've been eagly awaiting the day! Now I'm all strapped into my harness and feeling quite nervous and not so sure....


We arrive at the airport. A few butterflies in my stomach! Can't quite believe we are really going to be doing this....


Not REALLY? Right?


Climbing slowly to 14000 feet above the ground! Rising above the clouds, looks just like cottonwool.


Uhhh.....what? Danger?


I'm second out of the plane! Trying to remember the instructions. Arms crossed? Check. Knees under? Check. Oh no I'm sure there was three things! Ohhhh......


My.........


GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As the parachute opens, I finally get a chance to take in the view. The ground is getting closer and I can make out some details. The city and the ocean. The landing position. We swoop towards the earth!


Perfect landing. I never thought I would do something like this but I feel so brave! I feel great!


What an amazing adventure! We shouldn't be so scared of facing things we cannot do, we should just go ahead and do it! Often we don't know what we are missing out on! I can't wait to go again :)
