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.

A Glorious Day

It was a beautiful Autumn day. Everyone seemed to be out enjoying the early morning. Joggers, dog walkers, mums, dads and kids, it seemed the mild, sunny weather had pulled everyone out of their homes and into the fresh air.






As usual at this time of the year, there was a plethora of events to choose from. The annual, Blues & Roots concert in Fremantle with Crowded House headlining was very tempting, but with lots to do around my place, I decided on something less time consuming.
Sunday afternoon found me pursuing my growing interest in everything environmental and I headed to the Sustainability Festival held at UWA, (University of Western Australia). The first thing to catch my eye was...........this cute little folding, electric bicycle. Top speed around 25km/h with a battery range of about 40kms. It would certainly get me back to work and back.
There were a large number of companies endeavouring to sell photovoltaic cells, as well as worm farms, insulation types, polystyrene building blocks, rain water tanks, grey water systems and much more.















My afternoon finished with a coffee overlooking Matilda Bay, a long time favourite of generations of Perth residents.
