New years is the time for reflection for me, where I look back over the year that was and then think about the new year ahead.
My year started quietly in beautiful Coffs Harbour. It is always a good place for me to start my year in a wonderful part of Australia surrounded by family and friends
During the year I was fortunate enough to visit Coffs several times.

In March, my good friend, Mary and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Kings Beach, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland where we indulged in swims every day and many walks along the waters edge of the beach.

July saw me in Canada for a 5W gathering with members from around the world. My trip included a week in the Rockies, a week on Vancouver Island and 2 weeks in Vancouver.

After our gathering finished in Vancouver, 4 of us Aussies, took a week cruise up the inside passage to Seward, Alaska.

September, I joined 25 women from around the world in Peth, Western Australia for another 5W gathering. Our 3 weeks in WA, included a week travelling up the Coral Coast on the Wildflower Trail, a week in Perth and a week in the fabulous wine and food region of Margaret River.

And now I end 2019 in beautiful Coffs Harbour.
As I reflect I feel so grateful to have such a blessed life.
I wish you all a wonderful, exciting and safe 2020

What a magnificent travelling year you have had Lyn. Let’s hope these fires subside; dreadful situation down the south coast. Friends of mine have lost their home and others who live in Canberra thought they could travel this morning with roads open but just been told to return to south coast as fires/winds too strong. The RFS has been magnificent hasn’t it. But I do wish you all the very best for 2020 and lots more posts of your travels.
Thanks Sue. I pray that 2020 is good and kind for everyone. These catastrophic fires are beyond belief. I feel as though my heart has been ripped out as I am so devastated for all the folks who have been affected. Words cannot describe my respect and appreciation I have for the firies. I just keep praying but I don’t understand why this has been for so long and so bad.
Well said Lyn. Well said. And thank you for your second message about my friends. Very kind.
My reply sent before I finished. I am sad for your friends. How could we ever imagine how bad that is. I hope that 2020 is a healthy, safe and wonderful year for you. Lyn
Happy New Year to you
