My Little Family

I'm so grateful for all my wrong turns, as somehow I met and fell in love with a Scotsman in my hometown of Port Macquarie NSW. It was a crazy whirlwind love story and Rodgie moved in shortly afterwards. Within twelve months of meeting we were off on a caravan adventure around Australia that found us working on a remote cattle station in WA and then landing in Broome, getting hitched and accidentally staying there for 18 months. We ditched the caravan in Broome and traded her in for the "Coffin Swag". I won't mention the 1500km wrong turn along the Savannah way...We got through that trip across the top of Australia (just) and then decided to settle back in Port Macquarie and tackle a house 'restoration' (it was far past a renovation), in hindsight not the greatest plan at 34 weeks pregnant! Then along came Isla, our beautiful, wild, free-spirited daughter. After three years of upheaval learning to be parents we decided to set off on another 12 month lap of Australia. In November 2022 we settled back into the Port Macquarie way of life with the addition of our newest family member Milo our even wilder, free-spirited dashie puppy. Below are a few pictures of our little family.
