What Do People Want to Read on a Blog?

Just visited a great website for a market stall at the Mindi market in Darwin. Emma sounds like a lovely woman with a big heart. She visits India with her family each year an has clothing made in selected factories. Fair trade and  no exploitation of children are her priorities in helping locals by buying local prouct and selling it back home in Australia in Darwin at the local markets including the Mindi market.

Emma works hard getting up early to prepare for the market. She had heard that it is the most simple things that people want to read so she stated from there on her blog. I think I will take that on board in my  own blog.

Garden tour with Trisha Dixon

Just met up with a dear friend who has just returned from a wonderful tour of Tasmania with TRISHA DIXON. Thought I would find out a bit about it from her blog. Surfing the net I chanced upon Paul Bangay's site and clicked on his blog. http://paulbangay.com/blog/ He too had been on the tour with Trisha. look forward to reading his blog and finding out more about it.

BETTER FOR COUPLES

At WAVESTATION we now have king-size beds in both bedrooms. Perfect for couples and both beds are extremely comfortable. The two bedrooms share a large sunny bathroom and are separated from the living area by a small hallway. Perfect for sleeping and quietly relaxing. The second bedroom has access to the front veranda. Lovely to open the door and head for a stroll along the beach or an early morning run.
The bed in the second bedroom can be separated into single beds. Just shoot us an email when you BOOK and we will arrange this for you.
