I recently connected with Rebecca Budd a.k.a. Clanmother, a dear friend and fellow blogger from Vancouver. We had a marvellous conversation via the wonderful world of Podcast. Here is the link to our conversation about how I came to be a blogger and also about my fabulous backyard wild friends here in Florida. I hope you enjoy.
Wishing you all a perfect Wednesday.

It was a great interview. I don’t know how, but I am already following you>
Great blog!
Thanks, Resa. You have an awesome blog. 🙂
Ahh, now I know you! I know your Gravatar!

Rebecca is right, Sylvia, you are always make me feel so welcome. I love your blog, you are an inspiration.
What a pleasure to listen to your lovely voice. Great accent! 😉
What a lovely comment, Ally. Hugs to you.
It’s a pleasure, Sylvia. Hugs back xoxo
I love your accent, Sylvia. I so enjoyed this conversation. I had no idea you are originally from Africa. I hear such inner peace in your voice. What pleasure to listen to your voice and get to know you better. Thank you so much for this podcast!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment, dear AmyRose. I’m originally from England, but spent over forty years in South Africa. The next podcast which Rebecca will do, will be about my travels, so my life history will probably come out in that. 😅😘
Wonderful!! I do so look forward in listening to it, Sylvia.
Ah Sylvia .. that was a great listen ! A lovely collaboration between you and Rebecca. You came across as just the very warm , funny and thoughtful Sylvia I feel I know you to be from your blog and presence here on WP xx
Always a pleasure to read about your bird and animal backyard goings on … they certainly seem to have many qualities of us humans too …
Thanks so much for listening, Poppy. It was a lot of fun to do and Rebecca is really easy to chat to. She totally put me at my ease and it was just like chatting to an old friend. 🤗
What a great idea, I really enjoyed listening to your story Sylvia. I have only been blogging since 2015 so it was interesting to hear a little more of your beginnings as a blogger, and also how you feel about all the animals you take photos of in Florida. I have always felt we had a connection, both having lived and having family in South Africa, and also because we both love animals and a good laugh now and then. Blogging friends have been a wonderful addition to my life. Congratulations to you and Rebecca, that was a great podcast.
Thanks so much for listening, Gerrie. Yes, I’m sure that you and I have much in common. I know i would enjoy meeting you. ❤

Thanks, Lavinia. I hope this works for you.
I enjoyed having a voice and back story to go with your blog.
Thank you so much for listening. 😘
Sylvia – I was so excited to get the opportunity to listen to your voice! And it was just like I imagined it would be – clear, soft and wisely used. I must chime in with the others – you sound so young too! I have also been with you for a long time – from when I started blogging myself in 2011. You were “the queen of blogging” to me. I guess you still are. In common we have traveling and animals – and will always have. Thank you for letting us listen. By the way – your texting and English is just delightful ♥
Thank you so much for your really kind comment, Ann Christine. I do remember when we first connected on WordPress and how we supported one another. You’ve also been a great inspiration to me and I’m now in awe of you. Long may our friendship last. 😘
♥Long may our friendship last♥
Yu have such a warm voice
Thank you, Marylou. I wasn’t sure how my voice would come across. 😃
Oh, how lovely to listen to your voice too! Such a beautiful conversation of two lovely ladies! Thank you both! 🙂 xoxoxo
Thanks so much, dear Marina. 😘🤗
🤗😘❤
What a great voice you have! I agree, very young. 🙂
Thanks, Lynette. It’s good to know that I don’t sound like an old lady. 😅
Thank you Sylvia! Our podcast was published last night and I am delighted that your message on living within nature and sustainable living has resonated. If we accept that we are part of a wider community, that we are not the only “intelligent” creature that walks this earth, our lives are enriched beyond measure. I especially liked the part where you said that your friends had individual preference where they ate, walked etc. Your kindness approach to life shines light in dark places and changes angst into hope. THANK YOU!!! Many hugs coming your way.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take part in your wonderful podcasts, Rebecca. You’ve given me so much confidence, chatting to you like this. It’s something which I have never imagined doing, but you’ve shown me how much fun it can be. I’m sure that my backyard creatures would approve of the fact that they’ve been singled out for inclusion in your ‘Tea Toast & Trivia’. 😃
Can hardly wait until our next podcast! Hugs and more hugs!
Brilliant, Sylvia and you sounded so young!
Oh, what a lovely comment, Sue. I am exceedingly young……..at heart. 🙂
Yes, I guessed you would be 🙂
Sylvia has a marvelous voice – the mic fell in love with it. I was amazed how clear it came through the miles.
I can picture in my head all these audio signals bouncing off a satellite like beams of light and I’m sure you and Sylvia shone the brightest! 🙂
Absolutely delightful Sylvia.. Well done.. Loved listening to it..xx
Thanks for listening, Lisa. It was fun to do. 😃
