In this episode I camp in Seward with my new Alaskan friend Dan. We explore the fishing port of Seward and get to know one another by the camp fire.

I stood in the heat of a Thai nightwatching an older lady pour batter onto a hot plate embedded in her wheeled cart.  She took a rubber paddle and expertly circled it around the plate coaxing the batter out into a perfect circle that cooked in seconds.  A spray of sugar and then condensed milk

Stories from Alaska. Life for an Australian in a remote community of Alaska. We raise dairy goats, hunt fish and enjoy adventures both in Alaska and abroad. Of course in the long dark of winter Cranberry Goats Kitchen is a warm and busy environment to hang out in.

It was a fresh winter’s day in Perth Western Australia and I had settled into my desk long before anyone else was thinking of coming to work.  I liked that quiet time of the day, a mug of steaming tea by my side and a list of emails to open and sort. The quiet before the flood of humanity I

Jane TeagueA romantic interlude

Falling into a surprise romance on my Alaskan adventure was not something I had envisaged as I prepared for the trip North.  I did feel as if I was in a relationship slump in Australia, Mr. Right had not appeared and the few men I did meet lacked charm, intellect or were already in a relations

Many of us favor global destinations and I am no exception.  Thus, I have been to Europe on many different occasions, knocked about in South East Asia for amounts of time that add up to years not months and embraced all that Australia and the America’s have on offer whenever I can. Being a w

I am a market girl at heart.  Nothing pleases me more that to wander through a market marveling at creativity, sampling fresh fruit offered by vendors hoping to entice a purchase while cheerfully pushing through the throng of other market goers. If one happens to be in Fremantle I love to listen to…

Settled into cheap digs for Bangkok we rested and negotiated a few blocks in search of food and cold drinks. We also needed a new supply of toiletries as Isla had inadvertently pulled the packed kit out of our luggage in order to grab her new snorkel mask to show our neighbor.  They never made it ba...

It began as most wild harebrained schemes do begin with a passing comment from my husband.  “You know if we did not have all those animals we could go someplace for a while and enjoy life.” That was the seed that with a little red wine to water it saw us finding homes for some animals, a house sitte...

Scottish Carpet BallsJane Teague

Scottish carpet balls. I have in my collection a set of ceramic Scottish Carpet Balls.  I love how they look nestled on their piece of hessian and how each individual ball with its bright glazed pattern sits next to a neighbor creating a cohesive whole. The balls were used in Great homes in Scotland...

With my LaMancha kids settling into life on Cranberry Goat Farm it was time to find one more kid.  I felt three was a good number for my herd.  It would supply us with a good amount of meat in the next generation and if something happened to one of the goats, there would still be two herd mates. Goa...
