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
