We are a couple who are fortunate enough to have found each other at a time in our lives when we can really appreciate each other. We know what’s important to us and in the end that’s all that really matters. We are passionate about each other, friends, wine, travel and a much, much more.
Through this blog we hope to inspire others to follow their dreams and passions in life, entertain with words and photographs, and most of all to remind everyone it is never too late or early to act on your deepest desires. So tune out the noise and take a giant leap!
Wooly is also interested in writing guest posts or articles with the right type of travel publications, websites and blogs. Wooly will provide unbiased reviews if you’re willing to work with our schedule.

Your story is quite familiar to us.
We have done likewise~
Nice to meet both of you.

We seem to have a kinship with animals that some may find undesirable. But they all have their place in nature.
Thank you for following my blog. I hope you ding it interesting and worthwhile. I’ve begun to follow yours also. Happy blogging!
Hi – well I like your short bio – and my husband and I also found each other at a time when we could truly value and appreciate each other (almost 20 years ago too!!) but oh so sweet when that happens – best wishes to the two of you and I look forward to checking in on your blog each week for the coming year of 2014. 🙂
Hello newest Spikey! I know, a bit corny, eh, but that’s the term that has come to stick for those folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it, thrown in for good measure.
My promise to you is not to be overbearing, just a couple of posts a day, maybe 3 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.
Thanks again and hope you have a great day…
UNCLE SPIKE

Have fun!
Hi Ryan,
Thank you very much for thinking enough of our blog to nominate us for this reward. After much thought and soul searching we have decided to decline the nomination. We never started blogging for accolades and rewards. We blog to share with others some of our amazing adventures and travel with in the hope of inspiring others to follow their dreams and aspirations regardless of age. It’s never too early or late to do what you really want to do.
Thanks again for you kind offer,
Wooly and Raeski
Sounds like we have a fair few things in common (minus the wine bit) 🙂 so we are following you guys to see what you have to share – sure there will be plenty of pearls of wisdom or inspiration!! Here’s to happy travels and living life with passion!
Wow. Its like reading my story too. Me and my husband also similar to you. I guess over the years passion, love, travel just got us even more stronger.
Thank you very much for visiting my blog as it got me connected to you. I hope you enjoyed your visit as much as I did.
Happy Travels.
Cheers
Aanchal

Hi Wooly and Raeski,
Of all the blogs I read regularly, yours is one of my favourites.
I know that not everyone is into blog awards, but I hope you won’t mind that, as a token of my appreciation, I’ve nominated yours for the One Lovely Blog Award: http://jaspasjourney.wordpress.com/2014/09/07/nominations-are-like-buses/
