Pervading sweet scent
two stalks of lillies, light pink
pales next to dark pink hue

Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

One of the wonderful joys of living here, one a couple of minutes walk from us instead of the 75 kms we used to travel to get to one.
M-R I’m afraid you are going to have to translate the rest although I think I’ve guessed. 🙂

I am rolling around the floor laughing. I said it out loud. Honest I did. Now I do know what it means. $4.95 for the two stalks. Thanks for the good laugh. XD

I love admiring lilies, and these were spectacular. Lilies come in so many colors – dazzling. I can’t have them in my house, however, because their perfume brings back strong and difficult memories of funerals I had to attend when I was little.

Smells are a powerful reminder of events so I can understand that Noelle.
