How Good is This Man

Thank Goodness He's A Country Boy

Do you know someone who wants to meet a country boy?



An event planning agency has started sending busloads of single women out to country towns, where the ratio of men to women is far more favourable.

Brie Petersen, a city girl, came up with the idea after visiting friends in the rural town of Mungindi in Queensland. During a night at the pub, the owner told her that he regularly received letters from single women in Brisbane and Sydney asking him to set them up with farmers. Similar pleas were being sent to the post office, he said.  via

The next busload of ladies will hit Wagga Wagga departing July 22nd

Australia's Newest Rural Author

Just found the website for Mandy Magro.

Mandy writes stories about the great Australian outback.

Rosalee Station is her first outback novel and her second, Jacaranda, is due out early 2012.  She is now working on her third novel, Melaleauca Homestead.



You can win a signed copy of Rosalee Station by writing in 100 words or less about their most memorable experience in the outback. Be it because it was funny, scary, exhilarating, heart warming or just because it was downright pleasurable. I’m really looking forward to hearing about other people’s adventures in our magnificent country areas, be it anything from camping and fishing to mustering or pig hunting. So come on, tell me your stories. Who knows, I might use them in one of my upcoming novels! Please send all entries to mandymagro75@hotmail.com


Hurry you don't have long....

The winner will be drawn on May 30.

TMT Deportment & Etiquette Academy

TMT - Trisha Mary Telford offers deportment & etiquette courses for males and females.

TMT is located in Townsville, QLD, and while I am a long way from Townsville I adore the TMT facebook page

With four young children I am always looking for ways to help them improve their manners!

A few weeks ago I had an etiquette dilemma and thankfully Trisha was able to help me out.

I also had a query as to where I could find courses like she offers closer to me.  Whilst Trisha seems to be one of kind and not many courses like TMT are on offer near me, Trisha is hoping to expand her business and produce e-books for children.  What a fabulous idea!

Follow her facebook page here.

Trisha frequently puts up bits and bobs to remind us of the correct behaviour in different situations and also etiquette for children.

I am thrilled to now have a place to go for all my etiquette queries.

TMT Courses include:

Miss Manners 10-12 year old girls
Mr Manners 10-12 year old boys
Enhance Your Personal Impact - Teenagers
The Relevant P.A.G.E. of Etiquette - Ladies & Gentlemen
"I Do" - Marriage Etiquette
Mummy & Me - Mothers and their daughters
Get The Business Edge - Businesses wanting more professional staff
High Tea & Afternoon Tea Etiquette - Ladies
 

The last pair standing

There's nothing like a home-made woollen sock! A mother and son team from Crookwell in NSW, are using 40 year old sock knitting equipment from Europe to produce 40,000 socks a year.

Love, love, loving....

From where I sit looking out across the paddocks with limited visability because of mist which feels like ice. I can picture myself in this Decjuba knit right now.

I feel warm and cosy just looking at it.

Its a must have.
