It has been a while since I’ve posted on this blog…. its been a long dark cold winter and I have enjoyed reading blogs more than writing them. We had our wettest winter in like 30 years here in Perth, including flooding which I had never seen in my life! I had scheduled some hikes with friends during the winter (since winter in Perth is usually a good time to hike) but every time we set a date the day would be a torrential stormy downpour!
Finally Spring has arrived, and on the first warm sunny weekend day we had I took Miss A for a family friendly hike to Lesmurdie Falls. The falls are located only a half hour from the city, and is probably Perths most well known and popular place to experience a bit of nature with city views in the distance. With all the rain we did have the falls were gushing and the wildflowers were blooming! It was a perfect way to spend the morning with my mini-me!
Travels with an Australian, a Peruvian and Baby A. 
Ah, the sun! Very much missed here in Manila!
Yes the sun is finally out and it’s glorious! Definitely lifts the spirits! Thanks!
Good to see you back and your “little” one seems to be running up the trail. We also had the wettest summer in 67 years.
Hahaha yes I thought it was time to try and get back into blogging for a bit. Let’s see how long that lasts! I saw the flooding in Germany… just crazy! Thanks for the visit Rich. Hope you and D are well x
Well, keep at it. I am a bit under the weather at the moment so need to get back at it myself once feeling better.
Oh sorry to hear Richie, hope you get better soon! Those beers won’t drink themselves! 😜
Gorgeous flowers and beautiful scenery, and look at your “baby” – she’s grown so much! I can’t wait to see those wildflowers in person one day. Wonderful pictures. Sounds like you’ll be glad to get more walking done after that long, very wet winter! 😀
Thanks for the visit Jane! Yes, baby A is now a tall and lanky nine year old! Cheers and take care x
Nine?! Where did the years go! That’s kinda scary. Haha. x
Nice to see a post from you! What a delightful walk. Happy Spring!
Thanks Julie! X
Great to see you back! Your ‘mini me’ is growing fast 😀 I love the colours of your spring flowers, just as we slide into autumn here. Sx
Thanks Sarah! I think it’s time I get into blogging again! It’s been too long!
It looks like you picked the perfect day to go hiking. I mean, look at those colorful blooms and glorious blue skies! Lesmurdie Falls looks like a nice place to be out in nature when you happen to be in Perth — I will definitely remember this. Glad to see you back, Anna.
Thanks Bama! If you ever get to Perth reach out and I’ll take you to some of my fave hiking spots! X
I don’t know when that will happen, but I will. Thanks Anna!
Look at that tall, leggy girl! I still think of her as being 5 years old. How wonderful to emerge into the warm, bright spring and share it with your daughter!
Thanks Lexi! My little girl is growing up! It makes me a bit sad but also excited as she Is now old enough to start doing some cool stuff with her mum!
Beautiful spring flowers! Happy Spring! Maggie
Thanks Maggie! X
What a lovely waterfall at the end! I always find hikes that finish in waterfalls to be so rewarding. Enjoy your beautiful spring days.
Happy spring! Hope you guys get out of lockdowns too. Thanks for checking out on my blog a few days ago, great to see you back on the horse Anna.
All good Fab, good to see you floating around here too! I hope you’ll get back into blogging again one day too, you write so well and I love a good read!
Thanks Anna! I’ve actually written a couple of posts, it feels like 2019 again!
Oh that’s weird they haven’t popped up on my followed posts thing. I’ll go check them out later!
How beautiful and colourful with the flowers. Enjoy spring!
Stunning!
