The timeline has a couple of holes. But here's a short synopsis of the last 29 years. (And someone finally included our website! Although we started that in 2012, NOT 2023.)

An issue that could have put a BIG spanner in the works of our Aussie trip was rapidly resolved to our advantage by @ #chinasouthernairlines
Guangzhou to Adelaide flight cancelled 4 2 days.
Switched us onto Malaysian Airlines via KL at no extra cost. Less flight time. Home sooner. Well done!

Having company is the reason why getting a housesitter is so much better for pets than having drop ins. And security for the home as well. All our fur babies love having us there. But we still get plenty of time to explore. Our current 3 in Cyprus.

These are ours at the moment in our housesit in Cyprus. We also don't own cats but we almost exclusively choose them for housesits.

The cleaner (paid for by the homeowner)comes on Thursday mornings. So we left her to it and wandered down to a beach Cafe to enjoy the seaside vibes and watch the planes come in and out. 🏖☕🧁🛩

🥳🤩🇮🇩Whoot!!!
In 96 we visited Yogyakarta (in Indonesia), for 4 days & stayed in a cheap (cheap) guesthouse.
In Feb, we'll stay for a couple of weeks in a 4-bedroom villa with a pool.
Bonus - Our accommodation will cost way less than stay 1! = $0
If you want to know our secret... feel free to ask.

Sometimes the simplest gadgets make a huge difference on the road. We've come across nearly every coffee making apparatus on our travels, especially when housesitting. But I've always got my back up plan when things get too complicated. #coffeeaddict

Why do cheery tomatoes always taste better in The Med? So much more flavor than in the UK or Oz. I'm obsessed and downing them like bar snacks - breakfast, lunch, dinner..anything.. 😋

After being on the move constantly for over a month, it's time to nest for a while with these munchkins.
Lovely apartment, great location, plus use of the homeowner's SUV.
