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) 
I would really love a camper van! What could be nicer?? Thanks for the identity of the shrimp blossom. I had no idea. I’m new to Florida, but not that new. I thought a shrimp tree was entirely different and bloomed in the fall!

Although the van was great we ended up selling it and buying a camper trailer. We were too lazy to have to pack up everything each day whereas with the trailer we could leave it and go off with the car exploring. It is possible that two different trees have the same common name so you could be right as well. I can’t remember what season mine flowered but I think it was probably in both spring and autumn and possibly all through summer.

That’s a really nicely setup camper.
The shadows are very nice and your photographs are beautifully done.
I also read your bio and please allow me to say Bravo!
Well done.
Have a Happy Sunday!
Peace 🙂

Great way to travel.

I especially like the scene in the second photo of your view out the back, showing why you picked that spot. Great camper – not too big to haul around but with everything you need, especially a place to sleep that isn’t a sleeping bag on the ground.

It was a full size bed. Luxury.
