~ A Homegrown Lettuce for One Word Sunday ~

An easy choice from Debbie at Travel with Intent this week, the word is Green.

A magnificent lettuce from my brother’s garden in Essex. Although he was fairly miffed when I picked it for salad at dinner. Apparently there is a certain way to do this for regrowth. I hope it did grow again.

~ Postcard from Perth ~

A funfilled week was had last week, starting with Bank Holiday Monday and a trip to the zoo. As you can imagine it was packed, but Elena holds a zoo pass so you need only spend a few hours each time.

We were lucky enough to see a Tree Kangaroo with her baby, who just happened to stick his head out for a photo. Also a sausage tree in bloom!

On Wednesday I spent a lovely morning at the beach viewing the sculptures which I’ve already posted about.

With the weather getting cooler in the mornings I’ve been able to go for a walk around Lake Claremont.

There are plenty of difficult obstacles in your path. Don’t allow yourself to become one of them” Ralph Marston

It wasn’t that long at all, just a 40 minute circuit around the lake!

Sunday afternoon we had a drive out to one of our favourite wineries in Bickley Valley. We had a table on the terrace overlooking the vineyards and shared a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board.

Next Postcard will be from Seminyak, Bali for a short break!
