A walk around Hengistbury Head, Dorset

Hengistbury Head is a dramatic headland located close to Bournemouth and to the south of Christchurch harbour. It's a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a local nature reserve. There are two large car parks near to the start of the walk situated next to the popular Hiker Cafe. For the less energetic, a land train usually operates from outside the cafe along the access path to the Mudeford Spit but is out of action for the foreseeable future. At the entrance to the trail there's a modern visitor centre which explores the area, its history, wildlife and geology. …

As Aussie as Meat Pie

It is 1996 and I'm a young mum with two small sons. They're two demanding boys, with big ideas and fertile minds. They want to play, but it's time to prepare dinner for the family. The oldest boy turns back to set up electrical circuits with batteries and LED light bulbs, whilst the smaller son, Master Three, gathers soft toys, from his prodigious collection, that would be the envy of any Sesame Street cast member and sets up a puppet show singing tunes of Thomas the Tank Engine. I turn back to the stove. Besides the two boys and the…

30 Blogmas Post Ideas For Bloggers

Even though my blog has been around for 5 years, this will be the first Christmas where I will be an active blogger! How exciting. And with that, I had heard the word 'blogmas' being thrown around occasionally and did some research into it. If you're familiar with YouTube and vlogmas, its the same concept. You post a blog post everyday in the lead up to Christmas. I haven't decided if I wanted to take part or not, but I thought it would be helpful to post some post ideas if you decide to take part! I'm posting this obviously…

DIY Halloween Milk Jug

This year, I decided to take an empty milk jug and to decorate for Halloween with some acrylic paint pens. First, I used a pencil to sketch out the details. Then, I went over the lines and filled in with the paint pens. This was fun! I might continue to decorate more!Follow Chocoviv’s Lifestyle Blog on WordPress.com

Sour Cream ‘n Onion Deviled Eggs

What's Cooking in Gail's Kitchen? Elevated Edibles: Sour Cream ‘n Onion Deviled Eggs! Every once in awhile I crave something a little bit salty. To satisfy that urge, I whip up a batch of egg salad to scoop with potato chips or crackers. It’s pretty tasty, too. But what happens if all you have on hand are the crumbs at the bottom of the potato chip bag, hmmm? I’ve got an idea. Go one step further and make deviled eggs. By adding crumbled onion straws to the filling, it adds zing. Then sprinkle the potato chip crumbs on top for…

So Hard To Like Hyena‑Kind, But...

…they are interesting animals, though you certainly would not want to meet one at close quarters. That they are purely scavengers is a myth. They are powerful killers too, and don’t mind the odd human. The spotted hyenas in the photo (taken early one Mara morning) are the largest of the three hyena species, and come with the strongest bone-grinding jaws of any land predator. They live in clans of 5 – 30 individuals and recognise one another by scent. Further interesting features include the facts that females are larger than males. They remain in their natal clan for life,…

On the road- Oasis Camel dairy, Ramona

A camel kinda day is a good day! Hello, my friends, How are you doing? I've been deep-diving into a learning phase in the past few weeks, amazingly how autumn gives me a positive vibe, moved by the change of color, the weather, and grateful for everything in life. And what am I learning? I feel a little bit shy to speak about it out loud now. However, I also feel like sharing with you. I’m learning the "ＩChing" The Book of Change, a branch of Chinese astrology. Stay tuned for more on the I Ching, but let me tell…
