<span style="font-size: large;">I will be giving away 4 x Sillier Than Sally Bird Art 2017 Calendars (FYI - They are really lovely and full of last years watercolour birds), as a thank you to the delightful peoples that have been supporting my art journey online. As all those likes, comments, shares and all round love, helps keep this lass creating away and helps spread the Sillier Than Sally love. It also helps new art lovers to find my work! So don’t forget to get in on the action - spread that love. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a big one - don’t forget to update your preferences in Facebook, so that my art will pop up on your home feed first thing. Otherwise Facebook might decide not to show it to you at all (yep, FB does that a lot). Simple fix for that is go to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SillierThanSally" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">my page</span></a> go to the “LIKE” button and click “SEE FIRST” so that my art piece pops up on your page when I post it. I have included a scene grab of how to do this below. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why a self set challenge...</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;">November 2015 was my first self imposed water colour challenge (to get me creating daily & improve my water colour skills to mad level)… I was super nervous about doing this challenge, putting my work out there...to possible silence... but hells bells peoples, I did not have to worry about that - my art mad friends on Facebook (you guys), went ballistic for the daily art pieces, they were usually snapped up in seconds and the love, likes, shares & all over support was just magical - seriously I think I was on a lovely warm happy high for months afterwards. It was definitely what got me up at 4am to paint each morning! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; line-height: normal;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I hence the ‘sleep be damned’ mood I am in, and bring on the next water colour challenge!</span><br />

Sorry for the lack of blog post's lately, I have been swung off my feet with art projects & commissions of all shapes and sizes...plus juggling being a mamma (to the cutest little boy in the world, yes I am possibly biased), all the while trying to not be the worlds crappiest house wife (I have sooooo much better things to do with my time, then dust and clean)! </div>

The latest "Mixed Media Art Workshops" have been beautifully received, they are so much arty fun!!<br />
My workshop ladies and I have been having some marvellous days creating, painting, stencilling, spray painting, finger painting, having a few sneak wines and dance breaks (where I break out the running man, or some other seriously sweet 80's moves), all the while creating a texture and layering fabulous art piece.<br />
There are a few more "Mixed media Art Classes" coming up throughout the year, I run them from my Shire (Syd, AUS) based studio.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> don't know about you, but I find in this busy world of ours I don't get through my to-do & my to-do-wish list each day. So I don't actually get to create art daily - yep, kinda sad coming from an artist! </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the month of November</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I will be posting a new water colour painting online at 8am daily! It's an exciting (and slightly insane) art journey, that will see me getting up before the sun each morning and painting away. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So to commit to this insanity, I thought I'd make it binding by committing to you, my online peeps. I will be posting the photos on Facebook at 8am each morning. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">A new water colour painting will be posted at 8am daily on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SillierThanSally" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These original art pieces will be for sale and at an <u>extremely affordable price.</u> My thoughts on the pricing were - original art is not always within everyones budget to buy.... and every home should have some. So this is my way of getting some lovely original art onto walls of happy homes, immersing myself in expanding my skills in water colours, starting my day off in with a creative kick and helping me to afford some art supplies along the way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Totes awesome right?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first water colour artwork that goes on sale starts at $30... and the price goes up $1 daily. First person to comment SOLD in the comments section on Facebook, gets her for their wall =)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A note on pricing - My usual water colour pricing starts from $85 for A5 size and $180 for A4</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "\22 helvetica neue\22 " , "\22 arial\22 " , "\22 helvetica\22 " , sans-serif;"><u>Sale price is for "30 Days of water colour" art challenge ONLY.</u></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "\22 helvetica neue\22 " , "\22 arial\22 " , "\22 helvetica\22 " , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>- Please note, commissioning prices and framing prices have gone up slightly this week, as I am creating bigger paintings, they take longer to create and cost more to frame and post! -</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you do see one that you absolutely loved and have missed out on, contact me at sally@sillierthansally.com or via Facebook and I can create one for you - I will still give a discount on my standard prices, a custom creation (up to A4 size) will be $110 this week, rather than $180. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I will only be taking on a certain amount of water colour commissions at this price per week. So be quick!</span></div>

Life has been pretty busy in my arty farty world over the last year or so - I know blog posts have been far and few between. I totally blame that on my gorgeous, adorably, and totally cheeky 1 year old son (as you can tell - I kind of like him). Art and design projects have also been flowing in much faster than I can output them, and on top of that I have been working my little buns off, on something thats been in the pipe works for many a year now - Yep, you might have guessed it from the blog subject line.</div>

<br />
Due to the fact that my ever so lovely husband and I are expecting a new edition to the Sillier Than Sally family very soon now (I am seriously pregnant and due our first little one ((a little boy)) in a matter of days) ....things might be a little bit quieter in Sillier Than Sally Land over the next 2 months, I will be taking a wee bit of time off to bask in the glow of motherhood (mmm....more like taking some time off to come to grips with suddenly becoming a full time mum to a mini human)......So I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you missed me/ thought I wasn't talking to you =)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have wrapped up all markets for the moment, and will not be holding a stall at any until later in the year. I will still be blogging and facebooking some crafty projects I work on...probably just not as regularly.....but hey, who am I kidding - I have never blogged regularly anyway =)<br />
So do keep an eye on this space!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the next few months though I will be focusing my arty farty energy towards building my online presence - so expect a new website and online shopping portal, where I will be selling the loveliest of Sillier Than Sally accessories, original art and limited edition prints!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will also be working on further evolving our existing range of jewellery and clutches to something even shinier and more fabulous - I am super excited about this!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The new website, online shop and new Sillier Than Sally accessories range will be launched in June/July.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plenty of more news on that later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, for the moment though I am off to have a baby, wish me luck =) =)</div>

Africa - How I love Thee!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little while back, I created a series of water colour and ink African animal art, for one of my lovely art clients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This series was such a pleasure to work on and very close to my heart and also very close to my clients heart, as I created the series from their original photos from one of their many African adventures.<br />

Some art series details:<br />
This art series is actually quite large, close to a meter wide, so it was a job I worked on over quite a few weeks and became completely immersed in....well here are some more photos...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

These are the photos that I created the series from...</div>

This guy had so much attitude, he was such a pleasure to draw/paint.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am looking forward to (when time allows) further creating a large series of African Animal paintings and drawings....I have so many amazing photos and memories from my own Adventures in Africa to draw from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is definitely high on my to-do-list, so hopefully a bit later this year there will be news of an exhibition, I just need a month or two spare to create my series of what are sure to be masterpieces =) =)</div>

We have a little boy on the way....he is due in 5 weeks now (holy Sh!t), and I have finally finished our nursery mural.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My pregnant body and my brain have not really being seeing eye to eye over the last 8 months...we have had a few differences of opinion - like whether I am still super woman or not, whether I am entitled to keep my lunch down or not, and also whether I can move faster than a slow arsed snail or not.....a lot of nots have won out, much to my disgust!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can imagine this mural took about a week to complete rather than 2 days! BUT, it did turn out ever so lovely and I hope the little kick boxer in my tummy likes it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
We have some really exciting news at Sillier Than Sally! My nutty sister Cara and I have been getting ready for a huge market weekend coming up at the end of this month - Finders Keepers!<br />
.....Whoohooo!! Sorry I am still a tad excited about this =)<br />
<br />
If you have never been to Finders Keepers Markets before, It is probably high time you treated yourself & popped in for a sticky beak (believe me you will not be disappointed), if you have been before....then of course you know all about the awesomeness that is Finders Keepers!<br />
<br />
So come on down, say hello, check out the inspiring art and design makers from Australia wide, there will be loads of live music/bands a famers lane and interesting foodie stalls there as well...and of course an extremely well stocked bar, for a sneaky beverage in the afternoons =)<br />
<br />
Note to previous FK's goers - VENUE CHANGE!<br />
FK's is now being held on the other side of the tracks in The Exhibition Hall, at Australian Technology Park, just off Redfern Station, Sydney. It is an easy 5 min walk from the station.<br />
<br />
Check out our profile page on the <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/sillier-than-sally.php" target="_blank">Finders Keepers Website</a>, you can also get more details on the markets <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/sydney_markets.php" target="_blank">here</a>, like directions and other juicy tidbits.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Victoria Falls – I love you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You were amazing, as I always knew you would
be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">A great time was had by all at Victoria
Falls and the falls themselves are stunning. It is dry season at the moment, so
the falls were not at their fullest, but still powerful. We checked it out from
the Zambia side and the Zimbabwe side. Vic Falls is activity central… you can
get up to all sorts of fun stuff! We went for a pretty amazing walk with lions
and I finally got a chance to pet a fully grown lion (well she was almost fully
grown - 2). The patting was done with a sharp eye kept on your exit route at
all times, as they were quite lively lioness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">We went for a sunset cruise down the
Zambezi River, cocktail in hand, with hippos popping up now and then to eyeball
us and elephants cooling off in the river nearby. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">We also checked out Livingstone Island on
top of Victoria Falls, and the Devils Pools….which is a fab little natural
swimming hole perched on top of the falls. Jumping in and leaning over the edge
to check out the falls, falling away to a 182 metre drop below, was pretty
sweet… The guide did have a hold of my ankle, both my hubby and I survived, so
I guess it is pretty safe…. I did find out later that a few people have gone
over the edge over the years….some never to be found again….. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">After a few lovely days spent on the
Zambezi River, we were off again…headed to Botswana and Chobe National
Park….Botswana is a beautiful country, full of friendly people and kids waving
like crazy from the road side as we pass. A morning game drive through Chobe
National park got us extremely up close to a herd of elephants. Big moment for
me as I am a huge elephant fan! <br />
A sunset cruise on the Chobe River brought us up close and personal to
everything from hippos, to crocks eating a hippo, to seriously cantankerous
looking buffalo, to again herds and herds of elephants, and plenty of birdlife. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Next (after a long, long drive) onto bush
camping in the Okavango Delta. The Delta is a maze of rivers and reed covered swampland.
Our mode of transport to get to our island camp was via Moroko (a canoe like
boat, crafted out of a tree trunk). It was without doubt the most relaxing way
to travel….making our way slowly through lapping lily covered water, reeds
parting at the bow of the boat with the odd spider being surprised and knocked
of its perch by your passing and trying to crawl up your nose or nest in your
shoe… and did I mention the sun drenched lapping water?? Well I certainly
enjoyed it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">On an evening game walk, we came across
elephants, zebras and antelope…also a pretty amazing sunset. Dinner was had
around the camp fire and our local guides had a grand old time singing some
local African songs and getting their dance on. It was brill!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">So now we are headed through Namibia to the
capital city Windhoek for dinner and some festivities…. (festivities depending
on how drunk we get =) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thinking about
upgrading to a room….camping, the African heat and a long days driving don’t
always go to well together!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Tomorrow we are heading further into the desert
for some sand boarding and quad biking on the dunes of the Kalahari Desert.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Till next time</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">xxx Sal </span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">Jumbo = Hello in Swahili.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">Well the journey continues....We are on our
way through Malawi to Livingstone/Victoria Falls....a place I have wanted to go
since my teenage years....but let’s start with the last week or so first. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>=)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">After The Masai Mara we headed to the
Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">The Serengeti is the Swahili word for
"never ending plains", and they certainly hit that oneon the head!
African sunburnt plains, dotted with Acacia trees and animals as far as the eye
can see.....our days here consisted of game drives, where we tracked down 4
lionesses with 5 cubs between them, creepy Hyenas (they always look like they
are about to get up to something), and saw a black Rhino (from a distance, so I
don't think that really counts) along with a host of other critters big and
small.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">As for the Ngorogoro Crater, besides the
jaw dropping landscapes, there was such an abundance of wildlife.... we saw
Zebra a plenty, Giraffes grazing, Mama and Baby Elephants, Wildebeest lounging
around and eyeballing us out of curiosity every time we got near.....which was
a lot as they liked to set up camp scattered across the dirt road. Ancient
Water Buffalos, some amazing birdlife including lots of Ostriches, caught a few
doing there mating dance (highly entertaining), and a pack of 10 lions and
lioness taking it easy in the mid-day heat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">The crater itself (it’s actually a caldera,
not a crater...as the top of the Volcano fell in on itself and did not pop like
a cork) goes from an eerie landscape of twisted and gnarled, red dirt covered
Acacia trees, with barren mountains looming in the background....to a rainbow
of muted earthy colours at inner salt lake, with the pop of Zebras standing
out.....to lush jungle around lakes. Everything a fauna and flora colour
obsessed girl could want! It was just friggen brill!! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">I have been so inspired by the
reds/yellows/oranges....and the 300 million shades in-between! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">After our days of games drives we headed
off down the long track to Zanzibar, a stunning tropical Island off the coast
of Tanzania. We stayed in the main city of Stone Town for 1 night, Stone Town
has a very strong Muslim influence and for this reason has such an array of
stunning architecture. I have a fetish with beautiful old doors....and Stone
Town has them a plenty, so I went a little snap happy! =)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">Day 2 on Zanzibar, our group headed up the
coast for some beach side action/accommodation for 2 nights...I somehow
convinced Brett to hire a car, and we made our way over the seriously crazy
roads (Asian roads you have nothing on the African roads) over to the east
coast to track down a restaurant that I had spied an image on the net about a
year ago, and had vowed someday, somehow to go.... So once we figured out the
name of the restaurant "The Rock" and the general direction of it, we
were off....and yes my lovely hubby Brett was a little stressed! It was well
worth it though...idealic, and sitting on an old coral bed a stone’s throw
across the water from the beach sat the restaurant, stunning surroundings and
the food and wine were marvellous! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>=)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">After lunch we joined our crew on the north
of the Island for snorkelling, swimming and someserious relaxing time....a few
more days there would have been just perfect....but alas we were off again,
this time heading to Malawi and Lake Malawi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">It was a couple of long days of driving and
pitching our tents in the dark. There were lots of very happy campers indeed
when we finally got to Kande Beach in Malawi. 3 nights in the most beautiful
location on the white sandy beaches of Lake Malawi where we got ourselves a
lovely room and proceeded to seriously enjoy some downtime. =) I Went for a
lovely horse ride with Carly (a tour mate) through the forest, finishing up
along the beach, where with we jumped in the lake bareback with the horses for
a swim.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">We checked out the local Village, school
and hospital, made plenty of donations and will be sending a percentage of
sales from my (fingers crossed) upcoming Art Exhibition at the end of the year
to the school, to sponsor a child through primary school... there are a lot of
Orphans in Malawi due to HIV and Malaria. Even children with a family base
struggle to afford school uniform and basic school books and stationary, for
that reason a lot of kids don't even get a few years of primary school
education. The Malawi children were just lovely, I even wanted to put a few in
my pocket and take them home with me....and I certainly never say that about
any old kid! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">The Malawi people are extremely friendly,
happy and unassuming.... which is lovely and also a little amazing as life here
is quite hard and very basic, the feeling I got though is if you have a roof
over your head and some food in your belly, you are doing ok!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-AU">In Malawi, I finally got some time to paint
(painting and journaling on a moving truck on the extremely bumpy African roads
has proved to be a hard feat) and journal, so I will do my damnedest to get
some photos up of how my art journal for the next blog....this one comes with plenty of fab photos from our trip so far.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">It has been a while….I know, life in London
and at the Olympics was fabulous and non-stop. We have wrapped up work at the
Olympics and are now smack bang in the middle of Kenya, on our way to the
Serengeti.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">The Olympics was once again a brilliant,
vibrant event. Brett and I had a ball working at the NBC Gymnastics/Basketball
venue at the O2 Arena in North Greenwich. We had some fabulous local staff (and
some not so fabulous), the NBC crew were brilliant….it was like catching up
with old family members, as we had not caught up since the Beijing Olympics, It
was great to see so many friendly faces on the American crew. And of course to
catch up with all the rest of the catering crew that have come from all over
the world to work at the Olympics, some I have known now for over 10 years, and
are some of the most fabulous people I know.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">The Olympics pretty much consisted of us
working our arses off and partying with the crew for a month straight!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Now we have started our African adventure,
there were a few miss adventures getting here…like me freaking out as I thought
I had left all my art supplies (art supplies = my pride and joy) atmy dad
apartment in London…and I mean, I freaked out… there were water works, the
whole shibang! I had everyone scrambling to try and find them, and get them to
me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were constantly running for
planes for one reason or another, and when we arrived at Nariobi airport at 5am
tired and sweaty…off course Egyptair decided not to send on our luggagewith us to
Kenya (Egyptair you suck), so after arguments with ground staff and being
informed that our bags might turn up the same time next day, we trundled off to
catch up on some sleep at our hotel and then get back into our 2 day old smelly
clothes, for our nights and next day’s outings. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">Sunday was day one of our 7 week tour with
Arcacia from Nairobi down to Cape Town. After a 5am run to the airport to pick
up our bags (we did a little happy dance when we were reunited with them, as we
feared we might not see them again), we headed to our 8am tour departure point,
had a quick change into fresh clothes (yay) repacked our bags (I found my
missing art supplies, they had been hiding in my main luggage<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the whole time…so off course more waterworks
ensued, from relief and also stress that Brett and my dad were both going to
kill me from running them around in circles trying to locate and post it to
Kenya) and were off to the Masai Mara. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">The Masai Mara blew all my expectation out
of the water…if you have ever thought for a moment you would like to go, DO
IT!! It was a mecca of wildlife and draw dropping landscapes. <br />
We were lucky enough to be there during the Wildebeest migration, which brings
with it pretty much every other animal in the African animal world.On a 2 day
safari we saw frolicking gazelles and impalas,pumbas (wild pigs with attitude),
stunning prideful zebras, a lounging cheetah, a lioness protecting her fresh
kill with vultures circling overhead, a lion and lioness exhausted and taking a
nap after doing the deed, herds of elephants, curious giraffes and lazy as
hippos…..and thousands and thousandsof wildebeest. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">We stayed at a fab tented camp while at the
Masai Mara, we even had our own toilet and shower (which I thought was a bit of
a luxury, as we are camping most of this trip),<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>we ended up sharing our shower (unwillingly) with a bunch of French
travellers (that were also camping on site) that kept sneaking into our shower
rather than using theirown amenities block….so it was weird waking up at 6am to
the sound of our shower running while Brett and I were both still in bed. Then
having to queue for our shower….in the end we kicked them out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">On day two of our safari, we had an
interesting trip, that included 3 flat tyres with in the space of 2 hours….it
definitely made for some great laughs as we were travelling with a fun bunch
from our tour and also made for some fast footwork by our driver as one of our
flats had lions circling in the area at the same time… not that they were that
fussed by us I think, we just happened to have our second flat while tracking
them.On the way back from the Masai Mara to Nairobi our slightly odd driver in
frustration ran a barricade made by the local Masai tribesman (to slow down
drivers and protect their goats), then proceeded to nearly run over some goats in
his haste and have the angry Masai tribesman chase after us with spear in tow.
Good thing a car out runs a Masai tribesman anyday!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU">So today we are heading to the Serengeti
and Ngorongoro Crater, where the wild life is meant to be out of this world! Stay
posted for those photos next time =)</span></div>

The journey through Ireland continues...onto Carlow, to my uncle and auntys place for a Walsh clan catch up! There are a lot of Walshs =)<br />
<br />
Family came from all over Ireland for a big catch up party, it was so great to catch up with so many relatives and get in some well over due hugs. <br />
<br />
A video was pulled out of the huge and highly entertaining Walsh family Christmas's of 85 and 86, it was full of retro jumpers and brilliant hair do's on the adults/parents, the cousins (such youngins in the video) singing and Irish dancing away.... and santa (uncle Peter) making sure he got a kiss off every niece and nephew before he handed over their gifts...and all the while, me with my little bowl hair cut, trying to show up everyone with my not so great singing and dancing! <br />
It was a hoot!<br />
<br />
Quick snippet of me smacking around some kids (my Walsh cousins little ones) at our Walsh family get together....this could be one of the reasons I never get asked to babysit!! </div>

I was thinking if I put a lot of my family photos...they might track me down and kill me...so you get stuck with a cheesy snap of Brett and I.<br />

After the brill Walsh family catch up, we headed to off for a fabulous catch up with the fabulous O'D side of the family, my mums side.<br />
The above photos are of my aunty B's art/scrapbooking studio... I fell instantly in love with this beautiful space. The talent that poors out of this family is amazing, and my auntys B's art work inspires me so much.<br />

Me checking out my cousin Damians studio space in Dublin....studio spaces are my idea of heaven.<br />
This fantastic fella is one seriously good artist/illustrator, I think if we had an art off, he would kick my butt!!<br />

<br />
The brill illustration above is his...you can check out more of his work here - <a href="http://www.itsdod.com/" target="_blank">Web Site</a><br />
....and if you are greedy for his work like I am, you can check out even more of his work here <a href="http://www.behance.net/itsdod" target="_blank">Portfolio</a><br />
<br />
So time for me to get back out side and explore some more, catch you next time...probably from somewhere in England.<br />
