This week....


I'm reading



This week has been a good reading week. I finished listening to At the Foot of the Cherry Tree by Alli Parker, which I really enjoyed.  



I then started listening to Before the Memory Fades which is the third book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.



I also finished The Austrian Bride by Helen Parusel, which I reviewed last week.



Now I am reading The Secrets of Creswell  Hall by Alexandra Walsh. I read a book by her last year which is called The Forgotten Palace which I really enjoyed so I eagerly volunteered for this blog tour. this book is about The Gunpowder Plot and so far is really interesting!



I'm watching



Nothing in particular



Life



On the weekend, my husband and I journeyed  to a small coastal town called Apollo Bay. We drove down on Friday night, and then he was going on a deep sea fishing trip on the Saturday morning. I had quite a few different options that I could have done, including sleeping in and doing not much, but I decided to drive about an hour away and visit The Twelve Apostles which is an iconic Australian location, which gave me some quality audiobook listening time. I had to drop Robert at the port before 7am which meant that I got to the Twelve Apostles just after 8am which was amazing because there were literally six other people there when I arrived. When you arrive later in the day there are often hundreds of people crowded around trying to get the perfect picture!



I spent ages trying to get a photo where you can see the spray on the top of the waves



And then this is Lochard Gorge which is very close by




I am going to be doing a day trip back to the Apostles in a couple of weeks, but that's okay because it's a view that never gets old!!
