Last year Lisa and I went back to the UK separately at different times and to different locations. This time we went together to spend some time with, and look after, the folks while Seeta, my sister who is there primary carer, took a well-deserved holiday with her family. Both my Mam and Dad willContinue reading “Playing in the Rain”

Unseen but there
It’s been a while since Sarah has joined us for a climb, so we let her pick the location. I was happy when she picked Moses Rocks, which always offers a fun outing. There are two areas of Moses Rocks that she hasn’t climbed at, but the conditions today were not conducive for either ofContinue reading “Unseen but there”
Great expectations
Being early spring I try to temper my expectations when I head out for a wander. This week managing two visits into nature, intentionally squeezing them in as I won’t be out and about as much as usual for a couple of weeks. However, before I managed my first excursion Pat from work, who isContinue reading “Great expectations”
Driving round
A damp forecast resulted in me bailing on a trip to Perth to climb with Mario. The five to six hour round trip for a possibly wet rock experience simply didn’t seem appealing. Instead of the excitement of going somewhere new, and as there was the promise of a dry’ish morning locally, Wilyabrup seemed aContinue reading “Driving round”
The fifth elephant
In the fictional world created by Terry Pratchett, the Discworld is held up by four giant elephants that in turn stand on top of the giant star turtle, as it travels through space. The fifth elephant is said to have crashed into the Discworld at the beginning of time, leaving a wealth of treasures. ThisContinue reading “The fifth elephant”
Looking down
On Saturday Lisa and I headed out for the morning, but that had been a town visit and as such did not satisfied my desire to be outdoors. Orchid season could be considered a little early, but regardless of that I headed to the Capel Nature Reserve later the same day. Before I got there,Continue reading “Looking down”
Time to come out
When given a challenge Howsie is always keen to give it a go. So after a lunchtime walk on Wednesday, with Josh and Mark, I sent him the following image. We were of course primarily orchid hunting and found a few, including the first Pink Fairy (Caladenia latifolia) and Slender Snail Orchid (Pterostylis crispula) sightingContinue reading “Time to come out”
Jewel in the crown
After a lazy start to the day I got itchy feet and convinced Lisa it would be nice to take the poodles out for a walk, or should I say sniff, round Manea Park. From the start I was not expecting to see much, and certainly not thinking that I would see enough to writeContinue reading “Jewel in the crown”
The fear factor
Having a degree of arachnophobia makes Lisa a little jumpy when she see’s things moving on the wall, and what with poor eyesight anything on the wall can look blobby and could be a spider. The other day this is what she found on the wall at the foot of the bed. The House CentipedeContinue reading “The fear factor”
Blurred vision
Today we almost had a guest appearance by one of the old crew, but sadly their Saturday morning became double booked. To climb or to help their mum by chopping firewood was an easy choice, and so the axe fell on Glen’s guest appearance. But he still remains “famous” for being the only one ofContinue reading “Blurred vision”
