Medieval Camping and Cooking in Australia
by Krista | Jun 12, 2012 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Sword-fighting, ambushes, tents collapsing - life was anything but dull this weekend when I attended History Alive at Fort Lytton, Queensland. Last year I joined a medieval enactment group - Black Wolf - and this weekend was our first medieval event of the season. We...
The Inland Sea of Gozo
by Krista | Jun 7, 2012 | Plucky Thursday
After exploring the beautiful Azure Window and Dwejra Bay on the island of Gozo (click here to see pictures), my friends and I were dying of thirst and ready for a shady rest. Janet led us to the picturesque Inland Sea, an idyllic spot of craggy cliffs, pretty little...
The Azure Window and Salt Pans of Gozo
by Krista | Jun 5, 2012 | Gulliver Tuesday
It was a blindingly sunny morning when I joined my dear friends, Janet and Barbara, for a jaunt to see the Azure Window on the tiny island of Gozo in Malta. We piled into Janet's open-topped jeep and roared off down bumpy roads, luxuriating in the cool breezes...
Autumn Sunrise and Slow Cooker Chicken with Olives and Red Wine
by Krista | May 31, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
Winter is just around the corner here in Australia, and already the mornings are frosty and bone-chillingly cold. One morning I was rousted out of a sound sleep by Bear who instructed me to dress warmly and meet him in the kitchen of the farmhouse because we were...
A Bit of Hope and a Tropical Breakfast in Fiji
by Krista | May 29, 2012 | Compatriot Wednesday
I love how when I'm down or discouraged, a few words can come out of nowhere to settle, calm and restore. Such a thing happened today when I was so very, very tired. The inspiring women over at the Brave Girls Club sent through their daily email and this is what it...

After a madcap weekend of non-stop hustle and bustle, I'm in dire need of a little visual escape. So I'm taking you with me. 🙂 Today we're boarding one of the gorgeous brightly colored boats of Malta to putter through a few of the many harbours of this beautiful and...
Coffee, Rainy Days and Thoughts on Friendship
by Krista | May 25, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
It is pouring rain today and I love it more than I can say. We have had the most exquisite Autumn in Queensland, Australia. One warm, sunny day after another. I feel spoiled rotten. But after all that glorious sunshine it is a lovely change to stay inside, warm and...
Girls Day Out in Bühl, Germany and Crispy Fried Potatoes
by Krista | May 23, 2012 | Plucky Thursday
Germany has long had a special place in my heart. While I love hiking the gorgeous Black Forest, exploring fabulous Berlin, and visiting historical sites all across the country, my favorite aspect of all is the people. Whenever I go to Europe I always try to get to...
Hauling Wood, Stacking Hay and A Maple-Glazed Pork Roast
by Krista | May 22, 2012 | Bootstrap Monday
Pardon me if I moan and groan a bit today. Ayiyi. I am scratched, bruised, battered and sore, but it's SO worth it. 🙂 Last week I was feeling quite overwhelmed with all the work that needs to be done on this beautiful goat farm I live on. So I sat down with Bear and...
