In response to Ed’s Sunday Stills Challenge. The title he said from the song Green River by Credence Clearwater Revival. I wasn’t sure that I knew the song so off to youtube. I certainly recognised it and had pleasure reliving it so I have also put it here for your enjoyment if you want to listen to it.

About 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.

    Beautiful rivers, and such a contrast of green from the glacial sediments in the water to the live greens of the vegetation. Ha, ha! I had no idea that was the name of Creedance Clearwater’s song!

    Love this, Irene. New Zealand sure looks to be a beautiful place. I’ve seen many pictures of it and it’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us and taking me down memory lane with Creedence Clearwater. 🙂
