I believe I can fly

I believe I can touch the sky

I must go down to the sea again

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky
and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by
... John Masefield

I remember mum reciting this poem to me when I was a child.
Mum knew all the classic English poems.

Grand Theft Layout (scraplift) challenge

Bungle Bungle - July 2006
The bungle bungle or Purnululu National Park in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia is renowned for its orange and black striped beehive dome formations. I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days in the area in 2006; it was an amazing experience.
A scraplift is when you use another digi scrapper's layouts for inspiration and then create your own layout.

This is my take on Neeceebee's layout The Ranch.

Sail Away - Broome Harbour 2006

I downloaded this complimentary collab kit from Scrapbook Bytes a couple of days ago and decided it was just right for these photos.

Broome Harbour July 2006. After a wonderful afternoon relaxing on the lugger 'Willie', we were treated to a glorious sunset as we sailed back to Broome.
