Albums I remember listening to over and over in my twenties

I was very excited to get a music system (CD player, amplifier and speakers) for my 21st birthday. Here are the first albums I listened to. Some were owned by me, others by Dain.

Balmoral with Elna

Always lovely to catch up with Elna. We had brunch at The Boat House and then a swim in the ocean.

I love this post from Gavin. So blessed to have such an inspiring friend.

It’s amazing how much you can get done in 12 months when you love the work you do! 

This year I have been lucky enough to travel the whole world. Shooting lessons in Antartica, finding polar bears in the North Pole, searching for sloths in Costa Rica, visiting the largest trees in earth in California and Bangalore and chasing rhinos through the jungle in Chitwan. 

Building schools and libraries in Nepal, climbing Everest for charity, speaking at conferences in Bali, India and Dubai. Opening our third Montessori training centre in Kalanky Nepal with Aand Devkota. 

In reflection, I can’t believe that I have squeezed all this in to one calendar year, but that’s thanks to the amazing team I work alongside each day and the kindness and generosity of the people out there in the world who have welcomed me into their lives. 

This work is designed to make the world better. To leave ripples of change in the universe that will last forever, and in the midst of war and famine, we must work collectively to put good positive energy out there into the world to let our children know that the future is not all bad. 

From darkness to light there is always hope and that hope is you!!

My favourite alive doggie in the world (apart from Jason!)

 This is Anoush, Shushann's dog. We have a beautiful bond. Every time I see her, she bursts with excitement. She is a real sweetheart.

Celebrating Tina's 89th birthday in Carcoar

I went to Carcoar by train to celebrate Tina's 89th birthday with her and the family (Dom, Ruth, Gypsy and Mallee). It was very special.  Tina is a very dear friend.
