Tullawalla And A Dragonfly

Weekly Prompt: Photo prompt for this week, Right Place Right Time

I’m presenting pictures here of “My Home”, and feeling incredibly fortunate, that I happened to be in the right place at the right time, two years ago, when I was lucky enough to find this little abode for sale. And on inspection I immediately feel in love with the place, knowing that this is where my soul could finally be at peace, and I came to engross myself in this writers haven that I had dreamt of, and knowing that it was now going to become a reality. Thank you to Linda, of Spiritual Dragonfly, for inspiring to do this post about “My Place”, and I hope all is well there for Linda over in Carolina, after coping with Hurricane Florence.

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  3. It’s funny..when I was younger I wanted a big, fancy house. I owned a beautiful, Second Empire home when I owned a B&B. But upkeep was enormous and had to sell it for a place in the country. And although I still dream of that house and wrote a fictional story within its walls, there’s nothing like living in the country. I wish I had a cozy house/nook like yours..an inspiration to your wonderful writing. I did turn one room into a library, way down in the left corner of the lower level. But it brings me joy every time I write in it. Keep it coming my friend.

    1. Oh, after all those lovely compliments, I’m feeling fabulous thanks. My little abode is homely and welcoming, small and comfortable, full of memorabilia and artistic works of “his and hers”.
