Diary of an Australian girl's adventure in the Netherlands. Poems, short stories, pictures and anecdotes. Friday, January 26, 2007. Things are somewhat different this Australia Day than it has in the past, for as you see, it snows in my new home. And while I, like many Australians, find the our national celebration of January 26 rather difficult knowing what horrors the colonists brought to Indigenous Australians, today I simply can't help but think of this beautiful land that is still my country. This n...

Diary of an Australian girl's adventure in the Netherlands. Poems, short stories, pictures and anecdotes. Thursday, July 19, 2007. Introducing a new Mrs! We did it, Ed and I tied the knot last Saturday, 14 July 2007. While we all think that our wedding day should be the happiest day in our lives, Ed and I would say that Saturday fell nothing short of our expectations and in fact was a perfect day. Since then, the last five days have been even better than the one preceding. View my complete profile.

Diary of an Australian girl's adventure in the Netherlands. Poems, short stories, pictures and anecdotes. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. I'm no photographer and I certainly don't have what they call an artistic. But this is some of what I saw. Borough Market - a cup of tea, cow's milk on the side and a fairy cupcake. Borough Market - stacks of impressive cheese at Neal's Yard Dairy. Borough Market - Vinopolis taught me the 10 flavours that go into Bombay Sapphire gin. Fish, but still reminded me of home! Fiona...

It is 2.41am on Wednesday 30 November and I've written a book in 30 days. Oh, it's rubbish, absolute rubbish and 50000 words. Exactly. But at least I can tell my kids that I wrote my first novel at 31 years of age. And that it's never too late. I'm going to start a 'real' novel on 1 January. (What a nice new year's resolution!

Diary of an Australian girl's adventure in the Netherlands. Poems, short stories, pictures and anecdotes. Sunday, March 25, 2007. A bit out of Dutch. These last two days I've spent about 10 hours speaking Dutch. Yesterday I spent a morning at Ed's nephew Nick's 6th birthday party where all the guests spoke Dutch. Are you not married or are you divorced? But later on this week, I'll get back into the swing of things, back to attempting to become a Dutchified version of me. Monday, March 12, 2007. So, unti...
