This blog edition comes from Australia where I am staying with the lovely daughter. When in Melbourne this is the view from my daily walk – amazing.
It is a little easier to swing the arm in the warm sun but the current medication has not helped the tremor at all. Parkinson’s is a very individual condition and I will continue to search for the right medication for me. I have joined my daughter for my first attempts at Yoga but show no natural ability.
What an amazing country Australia is, so much to see and do. I loved our weekend in the Macedon Ranges, north of Melbourne, staying in a delightful farm cottage; freshly baked bread and cakes provided! We watched the DVD of the film “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and then the next day walked across the paddocks to explore the area and climb the rocks; didn’t find the missing schoolgirls! We did however find some delicious wines to try!
We also travelled in the bush with friends to Lake Mungo, a dry lake where human bones from 45,000 years ago have been found and features sand cliffs know as The Wall of China
I have now had over 2,500 viewings on the blog from 33 countries including many from Brazil and some from countries as diverse as Taiwan and Bosnia Herzegovina. Between 7 and 10 million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson’s and this will increase with an ageing population; we need to continue to work together to find a cure.
So pleased you are having a good time Elspeth – what wonderful scenery to enjoy on your daily walks. Looking forward to hearing more news when we see you on the 4th. Love Elizabeth and Ken

Glad you are enjoying Melbourne – you may remember I was there in December 😊 Will you be back for our next lunch in April? X
Lovely to share the fantastic view of Melbourne and good to hear that you are both having great adventures in Australia. I’m sorry the medication isn’t having any effect – as you say, everyone is different and hopefully you will find the right one for you. Looking forward to hearing and hopefully seeing some more of your photos when we next meet. Love Frances x
Looks like you are really making the most of your trip and enjoying the sunshine. Such a pity the medication has not been successful but I’m sure there is one out there for you Elspeth. Looking forward to catching up. X
So good to have news from you and of your travels and stimulating experiences. Hope the sunshine proves to be an easing remedy and you will soon find a better medication. Keep in touch! xx
