Recently someone asked who is the “Janet” that regularly features in my stories, and suggesting she must be an Angel from above to put up with me.
Um, no it wasn’t Clare, Janet’s mother, but crikey, wouldn’t we be rich if a had a dollar for every time she has, bless her soul…
But just like Tinkerbell, Janet is sweet and sassy, a friend to all…
Literally, the girl next door, yep over the back fence next door, Janet (Planet) and I have been friends for a lifetime…
…Having fun, flying and jumping out of planes together, abseiling off tall buildings, and trekking through some of the wildest jungles on the planet in Papua New Guinea, where we lived for a number of years…
Other times you’ll see us sitting quietly around a camp fire, soaking up the Australian Outback as the sun slips below the western horizon with not another soul in sight for hundred’s of kilometres…
And in those tender moments, spending the night in a lover’s embrace on a remote South Pacific Island.
Strewth, we would not have it any other way.
And TomO, well he’s the jewel in our lives, the creation of the heady mix of two young lovers and remote South Pacific Island’s…
And rest assured, he seems to have our sense of adventure and has already suggested he will stand on top of Mount Everest with me…
Dream big and it will happen I say, so don’t rule it out…that journey is well under way!
Of course, we can’t leave out our best friend, Milo, the wonder dog! The world’s most lovable Border Collie…
In Janet’s words – You boys don’t know how lucky you are…
And ain’t that the truth!
Ps: We’re off to a remote exotic island in the South Pacific in a couple of weeks time 😉
