MIGHT BE TIME TO MAKE A COMEBACK

So much has happened since our last post on this BLOG site. Not that I can tell you all in one post but maybe just step by step since we left Trentham for Ballarat.

Health reasons brought us to Victoria's second biggest regional city. Ballarat was built on gold mining in the 1850s and has an amazing architectural history with a most glamorous main street, amazing botanical gardens and a large lake where there is a huge population of water birds.

Food, wine and nightlife are still under discovery by Sue and I but we are getting there. Since arriving in 2020, we established friendship groups that make us feel comfortable enough to make it our last home.

  1. Welcome back to blogging :) It has been a while. I lived in Bendigo for a few years and loved it, but for a historian Ballarat is even more interesting. Did you buy a home? Are you safe from the bushfires?

  2. Hi there Hels. Blogging seems not to appeal as much these days. Most just want their 20 seconds of Facebook, Tik-Tok or whatever is the trend of the moment.. My Blog probably slowed down because of this or I just became complacent. Maybe we will start up again as we get closer to our next and last trip to France this coming October.
    Lovely to hear from you.
