Creativity: it’s all around us
"Why is it important to be creative?" This is the question posed by my local writing group as a blog post topic. I've thought about creativity for most of my life. I am the third of six children and early on I realised that my siblings could do thing I couldn't, like draw, dance, make…
Suddenly, winter…
It's the 21st of June and the winter solstice here in the southern hemisphere. Adelaide is putting on a true winter day for us; cold, dark and quite rainy. Each season brings its own wonderment - different sights, sounds, events, foods and attitudes. But the period from Australia Day on 26 January, until the end of April, is…
It’s Summer in Australia – where is MLT?
Well, for a change, I am not actually 'at large' but at home in Adelaide. I did have a very long trip to Europe which started in Italy (2 months there), continued to Switzerland and Austria then on to the UK before finishing with a few days in Dubai. My companion blog 'With my…

The latest such gathering was at the country house of fellow student Maura and her husband Vic. The property is on the beautiful Fleurieu…
Learning to be a better blogger in Abruzzo
I have to admit that the idea of going to Abruzzo to learn more about the art and craft of blogging has struck some of my friends and colleagues as an odd thing. To be honest, most of them have never heard of Abruzzo. Unless, of course it's just the humorous mention of it by…
Summer, where did you go?
Oh dear, I hope that three months between posts is not the new normal. But it has been a full three months as expected back in my January post. A frantic pace was maintained by Roo, Giulia (la cugina) and I with performances and events galore during the March Madness season in Adelaide. Giulia's two…
