I just loved taking photos in Penang but here is one of me wandering around a Chinese mansion and loving all the open courtyards. Off to ask hubby when we can build another house. I’m forever sending him plots of land I find on rightmov😉

For the past few years I haven’t made a New Years resolution, instead choosing a word to represent the year. This year my word is ‘knowledge’. I also have some hopes for the year; I hope to travel more, spend quality time with friends/family, to horse ride on a beach, to get my padi, to get better at photography, go surfing, improve my french, get better at wakeboarding, to live a more sustainable life and continue to find joy in the simple things. For more on the word of the year see @hanbullivant I’d love to know what your word for the year is?

No one I’d rather travel and explore with #lovemyfamily #penang #visitpenang

So for Christmas I got a homemade apothecary book and last night I (like and excited child) made my first concoction, a hair tonic for rinsing hair after a shower. My hair has taken a battering in the tropics and I’ve had so much hair loss. Recently I bought a filter for the shower and that’s made a big difference. Likewise we bought a filter for drinking water which filters out fluoride. I’ll keep you posted on the hair tonic. Next on the list is a balm for bruises and strains. #expatlife #expatinsingapore #mysimplelife #simple

One of my favourite #streetart streets in Penang. We didn’t get to catch as much as I’d have liked but we threw three full days at Penang and could’ve done more.

Incy bit scared of bridges. But managed this one. Even though it was swaying high in the rainforest canopy 🙊

We’ve spent the week puppy sitting and we’re going to miss the little critter. Even when he thought 3am was the perfect time for games, was forever stealing socks and even peed on my rug 😨 sometimes I’m really gutted there aren’t any good breeders in Singapore and so many pets are bought through pet shops. One day we’ll have a pup of our own, I’m a big believer in #therighttime and the right pup will find us.

The kids were so brave. As a rule I don’t do heights but I was desperate to do this at the Habitat up on #penanghill I got all the way up the stairs then promptly dropped the cap from my camera lense, saw it tumble down and froze. I then watched in awe as the kids marched around with the wind howling and took myself back down the stairs to find my lense cap. Which was proudly being held by a man, I really thought I’d never see it again 🤷🏻‍♀️ #Penang

A day at the butterfly garden and we were amazed. We learnt all about the four stages of #butterflies and also how to pick them up. If you’re in #Penang you must visit @myentopia was a little tricky that when we got outside our taxi driver had abandoned us 🤷🏻‍♀️ all part of the adventure. (take a packed lunch as the food wasn’t great) #visitpenang #visitmalaysia

Those moments. The moment in-between the bickering. Those. We loved our walk around The Habitat on Penang Hill nature reserve, so peaceful, so much greenery. And eer thankfully no scary snakes spotted. #idontdosnakes #penanghill #visitpenang

If you read my previous post this is where we’d been trying to reach. The Chew Jetty. Actually there are 7 jetties to explore in #Penang but if you’re time pushed, do the Chew Jetty like we did. So interesting to see these communities cooking, eating and working together.

I snapped this whilst following the kids and the husband on foot whilst they rode on a tri-Shaw. The poor guy had a flat tyre and pushing all of us just wasn’t happening 🤣 he also dropped us off 15mins in the wrong direction and where we’d wanted to go had actually only been three mins from where we started 🤷🏻‍♀️ all part of the holiday adventure right, we got our steps in that day #expatinsingapore #expatadventures #penang
