Spring has sprung

















Rather than tell you about the sights of Spring burgeoning around me, I thought I'd post a few pictures that would do the job much better. They are all taken in my local neighbour & I snapped them all today on a beautiful Sunday afternoon walk down to Cremorne Point Reserve.
What the pictures don't tell you is what I could hear. The sounds were wonderful. The birds seemed to be partying with lots of different bird calls fluttering through the air. The sea spoke rhythmically in the background, a soothing, repetitive inhale & exhale against the rocks below. There was the chatter of children, the occasional excited bark of a puppy out for a leg stretch and the polite hellos of the people walking passed me.
Finally on my way back home there was also the sound of my laboured breathing. It was all up-hill, reminding me that I need to get back in the gym so that I can get my fitness levels up in time for Summer.

That is the end of the Sydney, Lower North Shore Spring has sprung report. Over & out.

Gosh, it's been about a year since I was in Sydney. I miss Australia!

Steph, greetings from the grim North of England, where cold and damp October has certainly taken a hold, making things here a whole lot grimmer. Soon it will be even chillier, even moister November, then it's all downhill through Winter, and ages and ages to go before we get even a sniff of Spring here.
So having just seen your lovely pictures, the most base feelings of envy have overcome me and I really only have one comment to make....
GRRRRR!!

Bah I'm jealous, London is dreary at the moment (particularly since have just got back from greece which was nice and sunny, well most of the time)
