At 8.30am on April 25, 2023, we finally did it. We left Australian shores for the first time since 2019. Our destination may have only been a short four hour flight to Fiji, but with it a massive sigh of relief. While life at home has mostly returned to normal – albeit a ‘new’ kind … Continue reading Falling in love with Fiji
(N.B. It has taken me a year and eleven days to write this story. And while it has become increasingly hard to find the time to sit down and write them, I still have so many stories I want to capture here. So here I am, finally putting one onto a page, along with a … Continue reading A long weekend in Long Jetty
