family time calling

Please don't think I'm ignoring everyone for the next few weeks if I don't reply or comment.  Have D1 and little J visiting and bit hard with Nanny checking blogs with an 8 year old looking over my shoulder.

Be back as soon as I can.

In the mean time hope you all have GG spankings and not punishment ones.

Hugs Lindy xx

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I'm a bit late as blogger has changed and I found it hard to find my way into it.Better late than never though I suppose.

So Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  Hope you all had a lovely celebration with  family and friends,  plenty of turkey and all the trimmings.

Followed by this, particularly if you burnt the turkey to a crisp.

Love Lindy and Bear xx

Jan's birthday

Today 21st November,  is a special day for one of our friends, Jan at an English Rose is celebrating her birthday.
She is always so kind and thoughtful to all of us, I thought it would be nice to return the favour.  So sending out a big shout out to you all to join me in wishing our Jan a very Happy Birthday.  Jan we are 11 hours ahead of you in Australia with our daylight savings and America is approximately 5 hours behind.  So if you add them all up you can have an extra, EXTRA long birthday with more celebrating and drinking champagne.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!

Hope your day is full of fun, laughter, surprises and of course a birthday spanking. Wish we were all closer to come by in person but a virtual birthday will have to suffice.  So sit back and  enjoy your day as the  birthday  Princess.

Princess Jan

Lets all toast Jan  for her special day.

Of course what's a birthday without a birthday spank.

Enjoy some delicious  birthday cake.

Pink roses for our English Rose.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jan, happy birthday to you. 

Have a funtabulous day and many more to come.

Love Lindy and Bear from downunder. xxxxxx

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSIIE OI OI OI

Thank you so much Hermione that was so much  fun over the  couple of days with LOL day.  Also a BIG thank you to all my readers for dropping by to say Hi, both old and new.  Its good seeing all the new readers coming by for a chat.  Hope to see you visit frequently,  I've added everyone to my blog list.

I'm really exhausted after blog hopping right around the world meeting my old friends and making new ones along the way.  I've been to America, Canada, Germany, Scotland, England and many more countries.  Yet unfortunately no one from Australia put their hand up to say Hi.

Hopping back to my residence I passed over Don's house in South Australia waving to him.

Did you see me Don????  Then landed safely back in South West Victoria.

Gosh Australia covers an area of 7.692 million km squared surely there is someone else out there in the land down under.  Its getting lonely down here.  Come on even though LOL day is over for another year, its never too late to drop in to say Hi. Tell me about yourself and hopefully we can form a friendship.

Don't be afraid I don't bite.  Look forward to seeing you swing by soon.

Hugs Lindy

LOVE OUR LURKERS 11TH YEAR

Hello and welcome to ............

Love our Lurkers 11th year.

 Hermione is so kindly hosting this event again this year.  So pop on over to her blog to see everyone who is participating and start blog hopping.  It should be a heap of  fun.

 This is only my 2nd year participating, so still pretty new to this and not really sure what to do.  So bear with me, please!

According to my graph I have hundreds of people view my blog, yet only a small number in comparison read and leave  comments. 

I would really, really,  love to reach out and meet new people, in particular other Aussies living this lifestyle TTWD/DD.   Surely in the whole of Australia there must be others besides  Don  and I.

Ask questions?

 So don't be shy,  if you have stopped by to read before yet not left a comment today is your lucky day.  You'll not be judged by what you say.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so there is no right or wrong.  We all practice our TTWD/DD to suit our own needs.  Its interesting learning off others how they do things and maybe get some ideas. A light bulb moment goes off. 

Then  you think hey is that what we should do.


Also I would really love to encourage my fellow Aussie Downunder Don to start his own blog. 

Come on Don,  take the leap and join me.  You write really fabulous emails, so I'm sure you and Mumski can put together a blog.

So please leave a  comment, it can be  an anonymous or use your real name.  Most of us use pseudonyms to protect our families, its totally up to you.  We are all a bunch of friendly people and support each other in time of need.

What are you waiting for..... ready, set ....GO!


Have a good LOL day everyone

Hugs Lindy and Bear xx

COLLARS AND CUFFS ANSWER

Well you all came up with some great answers, thanks for that.  Sorry to disappoint you, it was a café. Just an everyday sort, nothing flash.  So goodness knows how they got their name.

I must confess I was very disappointed as thought at last we are going to  ONE OF THOSE SHOPS.  Sadly no!  I've tried getting Bear into an adult shop a while ago when we were on holiday in South Australia.  Unfortunately he is too nervous to venture inside and he wouldn't allow me to go peep.  I need a friend  so the two of us can sneak off for a  visit.

Good luck with the elections results over on the USA.  Last time I checked not looking too flash.  Are you all leaving town if Trump gets in?  You could come down under and become my neighbour.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Hugs Lindy

COLLARS AND CUFFS

Bear and I went for a drive today to do some shopping.... Yes again, well it is a long way to the shops.  We shopped, had lunch, shopped more.  Then Bear asked would I like to go to Collars and Cuffs?  Well naturally I asked what sort of implements do they sell there.  Thinking hand cuffs going by the name and maybe crops, paddles, whips etc.

                                                                  COLLARS

CUFFS

My mind wandered in the BDSM direction, thinking FANTISTIC at last he is getting in the mood to buy something good.  What do you all think Collars and Cuffs turned out to be? I'll keep you guessing and tell you after everyone has replied.

Love our lurkers coming

I've come back just in time by the looks of things as I see Love our Lurkers day is coming up 18th and 19th November.  This will be my second LOL day and I would really love to have some Aussies come out of hiding to make contact.  Sure Don and I aren't the only ones in the whole of Australia.

So this year Hermione from  http://hermionesheart.blogspot.com.au/  is hosting LOL day.  So if you are a blogger go register over at her blog.  Or if you are a stalker go check out the list on the day to see who you can visit.

It should be heaps of fun as some bloggers play games or ask you questions like how many spanks should they receive or what implement.  Come join in the fun one and all, lets party.  You can remain anonymous or if you are adventurous come out and introduce yourself.  Looking forward to hopefully meeting a whole lot of new people.  Don't be frightened everyone in blogland partaking of TTWD/DD are really nice friendly people.

Christened the birthday present.

Hello and sorry I went into hiding.  I dug myself into a really deep rabbit hole which I found hard to claw my way out.  I'm slowly coming to the surface and can see a nice bright light shining at the end of this tunnel.
So much has happened in my neck of the woods this year, I guess I was at the end of my tether.  I had hoped Bear would notice and bring me back by spanking but he seemed to be in his own rabbit hole.  Great couple we make (NOT). He was sticking to all his other HoH jobs like making final decision or more importantly making decision without even discussing them with me.  Yet spanking was off the table altogether. I did have my photo challenge on face book to keep my head above water, then that even stressed me out.  Therefore I decided to hold a huge pity party and hide from the world.

Then comes my Princess in shining armour to the rescue, who by the way was in her own dark rabbit hole.  She wanted to come visit for Bears birthday which had to be postponed as her little boy was too sick to travel,  Finally they arrived D1, little J and their puppy.  Yep 3 puppies in the house. LOL!

Whilst they were here D1  and I chatted, cuddled, ate cake and drank wine.  We did heaps of touristy things,  which were all good except taking little J to the maritime museum.  His anxiety got the better of him, so we had to high tail out of there quick smart with a full melt down in progress. That night none of us had very much sleep as little J had so many nightmares screaming the house down. During this time Bear stayed holed up at home, not wanting to join in our fun.

It was D1s puppy and one of my puppies birthdays during their stay, so D1 threw a huge doggie party for them. Fun times!  The week they were here flew by way too fast and in a blink of an eye it was time for them to head home again.

I was most surprised by Bears lack of attention during their stay.  Then on the day they left he didn't want to jump into bed as he normally would, instead he suggested we go shopping. Then this Wednesday we travelled to Mt Gambier for a spot of shopping and discovered this beautiful underground cave,  right in the middle of the main street. We walked down the stairs as far as possible and were amazed how tranquil it was even though above the traffic would have been buzzing. 

That made of spirits soar, we returned home feeling happier.  That night in bed Bear became very amorous wanting to make love. 

This part probably sounds corny to you all. After wards he asked me to massage his shoulders and head, then scratch his head.  His usual response to me if I ask for a spanking is 'No you'd enjoy that.' So I turned the tables on him giving him his response right back.  Then said I'd make a deal if I scratched his head he has to spank me, thinking he would knock me back.  Low and behold he took me up on the offer. 

Hallelujah! We christened his birthday present almost a month after I had given it to him.  Not a long birthday type spanking but I'm not complaining.  Then I read Jan's post Have you been spanked today?  I decided to send  all her pictures in an email to Bear hoping it would keep the fires burning.
Fingers, toes and everything crossed we are back on the road again, heading in the right direction.

I'd like to send out  a big thanks to Jan, Rosie and Don for your emails enquiring how I was going, also PK on fb,.  It meant a lot to me. .  None of my vanilla friends bothered to see what was happening when I disappeared off FB.  You sure know who your real friends are in these situations.
