Dusk in Wine Country of the Black Forest, Germany
by Krista | Sep 16, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Over the past ten years, I have spent a lot of time in Germany visiting relatives and dear friends. I love so many things about this country: the food, the beer, the music, the people, and the absolutely stunning countryside. One of my favorite places in Germany is...
Floating through the Harbors of Malta
by Krista | Sep 12, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
There are few things are more relaxing to me than being close to the water, bobbing along in a sturdy craft or cruising along the coast, soaking up sunshine and beautiful views. One of my favorite places to do that is Malta. While inland Malta can be dry as a bone,...
Beautiful European Places to Visit in Autumn
by Krista | Sep 10, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
It's supposed to be Spring in Queensland, but today it is dark, cloudy, blustery and cold. Just like a perfect Autumn day. 🙂 So instead of being out in my garden, I'm staying cozy and warm inside, drinking Berry Sensation tea and nibbling on coconut shortbreadas I...
Puppies, Learning Italian, and Not Becoming A Model
by Krista | Sep 6, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
I love living on the Darling Downs in Queensland, especially in Spring when it seems that everything is budding, blossoming, and greening. Today is a good day, not just because it's gorgeously Spring-ish, but because I'm finally recovering from a four-week illness...

by Krista | Aug 31, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
A storm has blown in, cold and blustery, clouds heavy with rain. I'm hiding away inside, watching Miss Marple as I wait for a loaf of seeded, whole-grain bread to finish baking. It's the perfect sort of day to escape to a Greek isle for a sunny trek around Corfu's Old...

by Krista | Aug 30, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Good morning!! After being very sick for two weeks, I've been a busy beaver this week with a new writing job, Spring Cleaning and more visa paperwork. Today I had grand plans of writing a post of a beautiful far-flung locale, but then got sick again (grrr) so today's...

by Krista | Aug 27, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Only three days left until Spring in Australia and I can't wait!!! These cool, bright mornings are so cheering to body and soul. I feel awakened, alive, and eager to dig in the dirt, gather armfuls of flowers, and generally celebrate my heart out. It was on just such...
An Early Morning Boat Ride Through Venice, Part One
by Krista | Aug 21, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
It was a glorious spring morning a few years ago when my brother Ryan and I and our friends Ben and Nat scurried through the deserted, pre-dawn streets of Venice, eager not to waste one precious second of our time there. The sun was just rising as we emerged in San...
