Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008.
We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company.
I currently co-write two Wordpress blogs with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania.

One thought on “A Photo A Week Challenge: Stacks”
I hated that stupid reading cart. The books were boring and I was only allowed to take books from the one shelf. I hated most of the books on it and kept taking the same book. The only one I really liked. They never changed the dam books on it. I didn’t enjoy library time either as I always seemed to be on the table that went last and all the Cat in the Hat books were gone! I was so pissed about that situation. I could never find a book I enjoyed and I preferred the art and craft lessons. I didn’t bother much about books until high school when we had The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Most school novels were boring especially Man Shy. I reckon I read nearly every Agatha Christie since leaving school. I still don’t read a great deal. I have to be really into a book. Most of my books have bookmarks in them from where I got up to. My shelves are full of books with bookmarks or bits of paper shoved in them because I never finished them. Well at least I am not one of those dull people who only have that book to read. I can remember someone who even read a phone book because they were so addicted to books.
