Unbelievably it’s now June, which here in Perth represents the official start of winter or Makuru (June and July) in the Noongar calendar. A quick update about this year – I had to go over to the UK in January to help clear out my dad’s flat because, following a health crisis last year, he …
This year just seems to have flown by – so much been happening these past few months especially with some family issues over in the UK. Hence I’m off over there again in a couple of weeks time to help my brother sort out my dad’s flat and get it onto the market. After a …
It’s been an interesting few weeks here as Western Australia finally starts to open up to the wide world and gets used to “living with covid”. We have increased restrictions as a result and so many places have reduced capacities at present. The weather has remained unpleasantly hot (it’s been the warmest summer on record) …

January has flown by and the long summer holidays are officially over – school went back this week and as seems to be tradition the weather has heated up! We’ve spent the past month or so out and about most days with several overseas visitors enjoying the (up to now) milder summer weather and also …
An unexpected turn of events led us to The Old Mill in South Perth recently. Despite many years living here, we had never managed to actually visit this lovely icon of Perth’s colonial past. However a large bushfire, which had closed off our intended destination, Kings Park, led to a change of plan. Situated on …
If you buy a calendar of Perth there is a good chance that the cover photo will be a wonderful view of the city overlooking the Swan River and the CBD. These photos are usually taken from the Mount Eliza lookout in Kings Park. Perched on top of the hill, the 400 hectare park affords …
We have just got back from a wonderful day spent at Perth Zoo! After a day running around after our irrepressible granddaughter La Petite, Monsieur Le Chic and I are not too sure we’ll be able to see in the New Year as we might fall asleep before then! So I thought I’d get in …
