Blue for You

This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Blue.

My thanks go to Margaret of the Ragtag Daily Prompt for today’s wonderful prompt.  If you too need some inspiration, click on the link above.  Such prompts help me make short work of presenting my holiday happy snaps.  I had hit a road block so to speak, as it was all just too overwhelming to think how I might present the story of my travels in a way that might be slightly interesting.  I hope the photos do justice to the wonderful holiday I’ve just had.

Pool Party

This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt of Saturday, 21 July 2018 — Duck.

I’m very sad to say that for most of my children’s lives, we had neither the money, time or energy to go on holiday together.  Certainly, my husband and I rarely had holidays together as we took turns to take time off work to look after the children during the school holidays.  The lack of family holidays is one of my biggest regrets in life.  A few years ago, my husband and the boys went on a road trip around Victoria (Australia).  I stayed home (with flu), and sent my little ducklings off with their dad on a great adventure.
