Photo a Day Challenge - 7.11.2023 - Fave Shoes.
I so loved these boots, wore then for many years but never bought another pair when they wore out. Somewhere in Europe in 1968, cooking our evening meal while camping out.

PAD June is 'Grateful Month' 29.6.2022 - So Grateful that I came up with the idea of living in this old London Taxi, it was amazingly comfortable.
We are very fortunate that during almost 3 years we were able to visit so many wonderfully historic places when there was hardly another person around.
Stratford upon Avon.

Photo a Day Challenge - 18.1.2022 - Serenity.
We so remember the serenity of travelling all over the UK and Europe in our old London Taxi back in the late 1960's, making sure we stayed off all those busy roads and just wandering about quite country roads ... such wonderful memories, pulling into a quiet lay-by each night. Here I am in Wales 1968.

Photo a Day Challenge - 1.7.2021 - Hello.
13th November 1970 David and I arrived back home to Sydney from our almost 3 years of overseas travel, here I am waving Hello to my mum Rosie and brother Nick, dad was parking the car so not in this photo, it was also his birthday. Lovely memories!
Below saying Hello to our London Taxi at Newport, we'd shipped her home before we took off to travel to the USA via the USSR.

Cold around here today but not as cold as...
1969 - Switzerland - Our camp spot for the night. Woke in the morning with our Taxi all covered in snow, David and I were sleeping in the back in our cosy down sleeping bags but when we tried to get out we couldn't open the doors because the snow had built up so thickly on the running boards.
Both of us had to use both feet to push one door open. Outside to relieve ourselves, now this isn't too difficult for blokes but a woman has to squat and of course the snow rapidly melts all around her feet doesn't it!! Lovely memories though.

53 Today, 53 Today we've never been 53 before - Hip Hip Hurray!
This is the longest I've ever been married 💏😘💗
These two Aussies married in Guildford, Surrey and spent almost 2 years living and driving around Europe in one of three wonderful London Taxi's. We sent our last Taxi (named Tabitha by our friend Peter) home to continued our travels by train and boat through Russia and onto the USA and Canada then back to Australia not only to be reunited with our families but dear 'Tabitha' as well, 25 years we enjoyed the company of our Taxi.
This Blog I did many years ago is now in Trove - I still love looking over it sometimes.

Nothing to see in my car nowadays but back in the late 1960's there was a lot more fun going on, sleeping, eating and just enjoying the ride.

Photo A Day Challenge - 15.4.2020 - Month of Gratitude.
When I arrived in England to marry David he was driving this Vauxhall Wyvern, which made camping trips were very uncomfortable, sleeping in one of these ugly things was not fun... plus I had to peer through the steering wheel when driving.
When I saw one of these London Taxi's I suggested we buy one of these because there was a lot of room in the back for sleeping two people, not one in the front and one in the back as in that Vauxhall, so many very happy memories of living in this beautiful vehicle but also seeing so many wonderful countries on the small funds we had.
