Where is Sarah Jane off to now?


And Why?


Welcome to my new blog


Travels with Sarah Jane







For the first time in my writing career I am starting a blog project with no plan, but as I am well known for my spontaneity here goes!

 2019 was a year of unexpected change for me on many levels. Imagine your future as a sheet of paper that contains your hopes, dreams, and goals written in an array of exciting colours. Daily, as you look and use it to inspire and motivate yourself, it creates excitement, determination, and hope. Sometimes it appears daunting, subject to unpredictability but nonetheless, it's a future that you are eager to embrace and discover. Then imagine that piece of paper being shredded and the pieces tossed into the air. What does your future hold or look like now?

 This may sound dramatic, and maybe it is, but it's the best analogy that comes to mind to describe the changes to my life in 2019. Throughout 2019 I have started a journey of self-discovery and a new future is emerging.

 2020 is the year of making the hopes, dreams, and goals on my new sheet of paper a reality. That is why today, on the eve of my first solo long haul travel adventure, I have decided to take you all with me to let you experience the start of my new future.





In May 2019 I had a Shirley Valentine moment, and I decided to plan a trip back to Australia to visit friends and family, to help me find myself and make a plan for my future.

 On the eve of my journey, Australia is in the grip of catastrophic bushfires and as yet I am not 100% sure that I will reach all of my planned destinations, but if you would like to follow my journey I would love to share it with you. 

 Feel free to subscribe to this blog and follow me on social media.

 I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

 Take care and stay safe.

    Good luck Sarah, not many people would embark on such a journey and at such a time with Australia going through record catastrophic widespread fires. Stay safe. See you in Tasmania shortly.
    Big hugs john Butfield xx

Destination Sydney, Australia!

My adventure begins: Arriving at London Gatwick in the early hours of Sunday morning I was overcome with a mixture of emotions. The apprehension experienced in the previous few days when I was uncertain, due to the escalation of the bushfires, about if I could, or should, still travel had now been replaced by excitement and the reality that I was about to travel alone for the first time to Australia. Fortunately, once in the North Terminal, practical Sarah mode kicked in: check in, bag drop, through security and breathe, now I am on holiday! I love travelling. It fills me with a passion that can be all consuming, but which also meant that many of my initial fears and anxieties about doing this alone were quickly dispelled. On board the first flight, in my favourite window seat, I instantly found myself in movie heaven.  Watching movies that I have missed at the cinema, and discovering new ones is one of the things I love about long haul travel, (as well as the food, especially on E

Sarah Jane, alias the alternative Cinderella...

Cinderella will go to the ball, actually to the beach! As many of you know, from my travel memoirs and blogs, the beach has always been my thinking place for major decisions. Whether it's a rain and windswept Cornish beach in Looe, before deciding to move to Australia. Or, Marion Bay, Tasmania, deciding to relocate to France to be nearer our grown up children in the UK; these life changing decisions have been made looking out to sea for inspiration, clarity and maybe some divine guidance. Therefore, it was only fitting that I gravitated to the nearest beach before leaving Sydney. Day 2- Bondi Beach, Sydney Walking out onto the balcony at the hotel bore no comparisons to the previous day when I was met by sun, warmth and a freshness in the air from the brief overnight rainfall. Today my morning welcome consisted of  smoke, limited visibility and poor air quality. Undeterred, there was no way that a visit to one of Sydney iconic beaches was going to be missed. Destination -
