    Perth & Scarby

    January 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Up early and did our long Carine walk, spotting the usual birds, including Ibis. Got the train into Perth and wandered down the Quay where we had a stop at the Lucky shag, followed by a quick drink at Henry's rooftop bar, so named after a civil engineer called Henry who designed the first Jetty in Perth. Back to base and then out to the Thursday Scarby market, buzzy as usual with Henry and Ellie's friends. An early night againRead more

  • Long journey to Oz

    January 12 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Left Charlie with his American housesitters and walked to get the bus. After a friendly chat with our hoarder neighbour Janet, we stopped off and had a quick pint before boarding the train to London. Slight delay in Crewe, waiting for the driver then onto our destination. Had a stop in Leicester Square where had our routine celeb-spotting moment - Kelly Brook, then a beer at the Chinatown dutch bar and off to Heathrow. Long flight to Hong kong (11 hours+) helped by a few films, the a few hours to enjoy HK airport. Had some Wanton soup, then onto the next leg to Perth (7 hours+). Approximately 36 hours travelling, to be greeted by Ellie in the glorious sunshine 🌞. Arrived at their lovely new home and an ensuite bedroom. Had a walk in Carine, then a glass of wine and back for a little nap. Henry arrives to big hugs from adoring Mother 💓Read more
