Today’s moment of gratitude: the beautiful hippeastrums in my garden. They make me think of my late mum and dad who would cross pollinate the different colours and name the new colours after their grandchildren.

Today’s moment of gratitude: I’m so pleased I love swimming. Due to an old ankle injury, I’m like a wounded hippo on land, but get me in the water and I’m in my element. Did a cheeky 2km in this magnificent pool this morning. Hibiscus Resort and Spa, Port Douglas.

Welcome to 2025. 🎉
This year is going to be my year of health and looking for gratitude in the everyday moments.
Today’s moment of gratitude: Lake Eacham in Far North Queensland. This has to be one of my favourite spots on the planet. Not a bad spot to spend some of New Year’s Day.

Looking forward to a little mini-break in Far North Queensland. Hopefully wet season stays away for a few days. 🤞
