Liverpool explorers

Hi lovelies,

We had such fun today.

Up early and we got a taxi into West Kirby to catch a train into Liverpool.


It was a chilly morning, but with the promise of a fine day we were excited to head into town.

When we arrived we were a little early for our first planned trip, so we had a quick wander around. The buildings in Liverpool are amazing, and huge.



Took the obligatory snap with the Fab 4.

We had tickets to catch the “ferry across the Mersey”. They actually play the song on the trip. 😊. Made us both smile.



We got off at one of the stops and went to see the U-Boat display. This was really interesting. The sub has been cut into segments so you can see inside and get a sense of the size.




We then returned to the ferry and returned to the city side of the river. We hopped on the On/Off bus and headed towards the museum district.

The Library was amazing. I loved the spiral staircase that was in the centre of the building, and I could happily move into the Picton Reading Room.

Lots of floors

From there we headed to the World History Museum to see the Egyptian display. Another amazing exhibit to see.
We were both treated to sights we had not seen before, and it was really cool.



It was then back on the bus and we were chauffeured back to the ferry terminal. It is the first time either of us have done an On/Off bus tour and it was great. You get lots of history and interesting facts.

It was a wonderful day, and it did stay fine, right up until we got off the train.

All for tonight.

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive plac...

Dylusions Dy-Cuts Art Journal

Hi Lovelies, This week's edition of Art Journal is very special, stunning and unique! We can't get enough of all the textures and colours going on in this page! We just love this.  This wonderful page features the Dylusions 'Dy-Cuts' which are quirky and colorful pre-cut shapes which make the perfect addition to any art journal page! You probably can already guess what paints we have used this week... The stunning, vibrant colours which are leaping of this page, are of course, Dylusions paints! When you take a closer look at you can see the texture and elements which have been layered to create this stunning page. A script stamp is perfect for layering and can fill in any gaps where you think something might be missing but not quite sure what!

These are great as you can add a sentiment to your page whilst still allowing the colours from the background to ...
