April 1, 2013 By Janine Leave a Comment

It's Easter Monday here and raining, Mr Shambles should be getting soaked on his early morning fishing expedition.

Monday Morning Photo – Sailing Away

March 4, 2013 By Janine 3 Comments

It's been raining all weekend again. The beaches are full of debris. There's been some more minor flooding.

Weekly Photo Challenge – Lost in the Details

March 2, 2013 By Janine 18 Comments

I don't think we have played along with the Wordpress Weekly Photo Challenge this year, and it's March! Not sure how that happened.
