No words are needed. We heeded the sign and drew away quickly after sharpening the speed of the shutter.

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.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Irene these are cool photos. I like the pencils, but I really like the be”ware of sniper” sign too! 🙂

I think they must have got sick of people stopping to look at their fence or perhaps they put the fence up to make sure people did stop.

I wonder who gets the job of sharpening the pencils. 🙂

Forget the fence! The “Beware of sniper” sign is what I love. Well, both are so much fun.

What an odd sign on what looks like a fence for pre-schoolers.

I think the people who live there must have a fun sense of humour. (I hope).

In northern Idaho, I’ve seen signs like, “Warning: Due to Price Increase on Ammo Do Not Expect a Warning Shot.” Or, “Squirrels are armed.”
