Welcome

Welcome to Derek and Karen's travel blog. We hope you will enjoy following our journey around Australia the slow way. We will try to keep our blog entertaining for you with our photography and highlights and the occasional lowlights (hopefully not too many of those). We have a couple of adds on the right that you are more than welcome to click on to view, that will help us along the way. The add about the Amazon Kindle is about our favourite choice of ebook that we read for at least 2 hours every day. We have a Kindle each and down load all sorts of books to read on them. So we hope you enjoy our blogs.

Renovations have started.


 Tiling this wall is going to be fun I told Derek.
It will cover the big hole that the plumber had to make to terminate the gas and water pipes that connected the old internal gas hot water system. So first we got a sheet of ply and cut out the wall shape, now I sit for a couple of hours each day and hand fit every tile. This is going to take a while. If I had left the tiles on the lace, we would have had to order more tiles than we needed and the glueing would have been too smelly for me. This way we can spread the tiles out a bit more and a little spot of glue on the back of each tile then press it into place. Yep, it is going to take a little while. I have left the odd tile off so I can glue and screw the whole board to the wall, then replace those tiles then grout it, then all done.
