About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

Jacaranda Festival


Ardross Street in Applecross is the home of the annual Jacaranda Festival and what a delightful show those blue flowering trees put on. Of course admiring the trees was not all that was on offer. Colourful stalls were bursting with a variety of crafts and organic products, food and drink outlets were also in abundance with something for everyone. I even managed to grab a bargain or two for Christmas.

Free events are everywhere in Perth and Fremantle at this time of the year and if time permitted there were at least two free concerts last night I could have attended. Alas teachers are all in the middle of madly writing end of year reports etc and are extremely busy and I had to forgo the pleasure of a pleasantly warm evening of music.
