  • I am finally back after a wonderful but eventful long break in Australia! I spent 10 days in a very smokey Sydney but still had a ball: visiting my 93 year old Auntie, my friend Sarah Adams, one of the biggest Over 60 Instagrammers, in the world, and getting to Elton John's concert! Here are my highlights, hope you like. BTW, I look awful till the end, blame it on the smoke! More coming soon! x

    I was so surprised to see Sarah. She did so well on Big Brother on TV last week, what an inspiration she is to us all. No wonder she is a friend of yours. Your Aunty looks quite well for her age. Loved this vlog 👍

    Dear Suzie thank you for sharing your holiday with us, been a bit upsie-downsie for you there hasn't it with the Bush fires smoke: poor Sydney. Glad you are making the most of it. Your lovely walk from Bondi looked beautiful indeed; fabulous rock formations ! Auntie is such a sweetie. The wind here in Brighton beats Sydney's at the moment thanks to "Dennis" !! Take care down there Suzie

      Hi June, I'm back in Brighton now so enjoying Dennis just about as much as you! Awful weather but now it's raining and flooding in Oz as well. What the hell is going on, on our planet?! So happy you liked my Sydney break. More from Byron Bay next week or soon after. Suzi x

    I look forward to getting one of your video blogs, you are an absolutely refreshing delight! I love seeing the different parts of the world through your eyes and your energy is contagious. Thanks for taking the time to share your life and friends and family with us. Put a smile on my face ( thats been hard to do lately) and made me want to try traveling again. Safe travels and hoping to hear from you soon. Love your new scarf.

      Aw thank you so much Margaret, sorry I'm not doing them as often as usual but life has been very busy since I got home. More coming soon! What a lovely comment, thank you! It is very hard to smile lately, I do agree, but am doing my best! I wish you a better March. Suzi x

    I have missed your blogs, so it was super to get this extended one. I loved Australia when I was there last year and am so sad to hear about the bush fires.

    • @AlternativeAgeing
      @AlternativeAgeing  Před 4 lety

      Thank you so much Lyn, so sorry about the delay but it all got too much on holiday and with not brilliant wifi! Back to normal now and so happy you liked it. Poor Australia, they are having torrential rain and floods there now, just like us (except it's warm rain!)! Suzi x

    Thank you! I’ve been to Coogee a few times and never managed to fit in the walk to Bondi! It was great to see it 🥰 Thank you for telling the world about our terrible bush fires 😢

      Isn't Auntie just wonderful, she completely inspires me. So glad you enjoyed the video and will be more regular with them now! Byron Bay next time. Suzi x

    Oh my goodness Suzi what a wonderful time. Your auntie is so precious! I so appreciate your sharing your travels, journey & personal experiences with us, you are a gem.
    I am not only entertained watching your videos I've discovered this past week but my spirits are lifted & am inspired.
    How exciting to see Sir Elton John perform. Am sure I've left off a lot of my thoughts watching ( as already forgotten ) so much good content. The fires were so horrific & heartbreaking.
    Since I'm new here may I ask is traveling to Australia something you do each year? How wonderful to visit your family there. Were you there for 3 months?
    Such beautiful footage, I loved the rock formations at Coogee Park. Thank you again.

    Lovely video... I am still in Australia , on the Gold Coast. Lots of rain and storms. Beautiful beaches... too many temptations for clothes, but enjoying every minute with my friend Jan. Back to France in mone month...via Hong kong (flying with Cathay Pacific) hoping that all will be good. Thank you again for sharing your holiday.

    • @AlternativeAgeing
      @AlternativeAgeing  Před 4 lety

      Hi Francoise, thank you for your message, so glad you are having a good time. I left Australia just at the right time with the rains, still at least it's warm rain! I flew Cathay Pacific via HK too. It will all be fine! Have a lovely rest of your holiday. x

    I lived through the Sydney bushfires. In Nov 2019 I was up in Byron and on the trip up, especially Port Macquarie, it was very smoky. Thankfully the smoke didn't reach Byron when we were there and we had a lovely stay

      Hello and thank you for your lovely comment. Everyone loves Auntie and she is still very sharp so I bet she does know Kazakstan, although she probably won't know where it is! She says hello and sends some of her happiness. x

    Hope you know Jesus. We don't have much time. Then what? Eternity awaits. The Authorized King James bible has the answers. See Tares among the Wheat, The History of the King James bible, The KJV controversy for proof. This life is a vapour. Glad you are enjoying it. We want you to have eternity with unspeakable joy and not to burn.
