Splashes of Joy I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland!! I love beauty in all its forms...warm Winter sunshine on my verandah in the afternoon, the smell of freshly baked bread, the long, long hug of a treasured friend, the softness of a baby's skin, a smile that lights up the face, thunderstorms, a carpet of petals beneath a tree, frosty mornings, a blanket of snow transforming the world, views from the tops of mountains, the excitement of beginning a long journey to a new place....

I am a Christian. I love God with all my heart!!
Ask me anything
