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.

Floral Friday: The chance floral find
Walking the dogs earlier in the week I came across a chance find and I will probably never know who did it or what it is supposed to signify. Is it the new child’s pursuit replacing the daisy chains we … Continue reading
Cee’s Fun Foto: Metal or Autumn
Fall, where I live, is not a season that is marked by the beautiful leaf colours, falling to the ground creating a thick layer of mulch gently enriching the soil as it rots. Most of our trees are evergreen and … Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Zig Zag
The number of zig zag roads I have travelled are numerous but due to an irrational fear of windy, narrow roads my tendency to photograph everything is stilled by fear when it comes to these occasions. There was the time … Continue reading
