Doors of WordPress V152 Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. This week I am showcasing a special door found right in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. I stumbled across these doors yesterday while walking past the Public Library of New South Wales in Sydney. I have passed the building plenty of times before, but had never really stopped to look closely at the entrance.

Wayne’s Word – Obsequiousness It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone. If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: …

Share Your World – 20/01/26 Thank you Di for this week’s questions. 1. Would you like to have your own private jet? Oh yes please. I could travel home to Northern Ireland any time I wish and travel to new destinations without having that dreaded time at the airport. No checking in luggage or even having to travel to the airport. If I have a private jet I hope that it can use renewable energy resources as I don’t want to be putting more pressure on the environment.

Wineglass Bay Wineglass Bay is one of Tasmania’s most photographed places, and for good reason. The white sand forms a perfect curve, the water is incredibly clear, and the views from the lookout are hard to beat. The walk up to the lookout is short but steep, so you definitely feel it in your legs, especially on the way back down. However, once you reach the top, it is totally worth the effort.

FOTD – Penny Mac Happy Friday everyone. Today’s flower of the day is called the Penny Mac Hydrangea, spotted in the conservatory at City Park, Launceston. I have recently learned that it is named after a real person, Penny McHenry, a well-known hydrangea enthusiast from Atlanta, Georgia. She founded the American Hydrangea Society and was influential in popularising hydrangeas in American gardens. How cool is that?!

Doors of WordPress V51 Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another week of wonderful doors. This week I am showcasing a few doors from a place called Campbell Town, a beautiful quaint town that we stopped in when travelling from Launceston to Coles Bay in Tasmania. Please let me know if you have a stand out door this week.

Ticking off an Entire Continent There’s something deeply satisfying about finally achieving a goal you’ve quietly carried for years. Somewhere between coastal drives, city stays, dusty inland roads and spontaneous getaways, I can now say that I have visited every state and territory in Australia. It was always something I was keen to do, and while I can now proudly say I’ve ticked them all off, I know I’ve only scratched the surface.

Share Your World – 13/01/26 Thank you Di for this week’s questions. 1. How would you describe your laughter? (giggly, deep, infectious? etc). I guess it depends on the situation. Sometimes I chuckle and then if something is really funny I can belly laugh, where my sides are actually splitting. 2. What makes you smile? Dogs, old people in love, seeing my family and partner, seeing old friends.

Launceston, Tasmania As many of you may know, I was in Launceston last week for my best friend’s wedding. It was a truly magical couple of days and we had an absolute ball, with the opportunity to also see around Launceston and taste our first bite of Tasmania, a place we had always wanted to visit. Launceston is one of those cities that surprises you.

Doors of WordPress V150 Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to my 150th doors post!!! This week I am delighted to feature some doors from my recent trip to Tasmania, with the focus on Launceston and I look forward to creating a blog post of our trip in the coming days. I was absolutely gobsmacked with the beautiful buildings in Launceston and the stunning doors to match.

Scents, Songs, and Sudden Memories What makes you feel nostalgic? Nostalgia rarely comes from big moments. For me, it’s usually triggered by something small, especially smells. A couple of days ago, I was at a hens party and we were asked to make something out of Play-Doh. As soon as I opened the tub, the smell instantly transported me back to my childhood. Sitting at home or in school, hands covered in bright colours, completely absorbed in play.

Share Your World – 30/12/25 Thank you Di for this week’s questions as we say goodbye to 2025. 1. Do you stay up to toast in the New Year? Yes we normally do. We may not always go out to celebrate but we will sit up and watch the countdown. In the UK they have a great tv show called Jools Holland’s Hootenanny. It is the BBC’s long-running New Year’s Eve music show, hosted by Jools Holland and it has some fantastic acts to bring in the new year.
