This morning I had to be organised. DH car had to be taken to the dealer for some 'recall' work, so I was to pick him up. There were a few things we needed to get done whilst we were out, which included a trip to Fremantle or 'Freo' as locals call it.
Freo is a vibrant multi-cultural port city south of Perth. It boasts a 19th century port street scape with world famous heritage buildings and a fascinating maritime and convict history. Along with old dockworkers' cottages, warehouses converted into trendy apartments, there is a strong creative streak. The cappuccino strip is as famous as the Fremantle Markets and you can't beat fish n chips fresh off the boat at Fishing Boat Harbour!
I love Freo, so we just had to stop awhile to chill out for coffee, scones and jam for me and a meat pie from the Fremantle Bakehouse for DH.
What a nice start to the day, we certainly don't get to do this too often.
We went our separate ways for a few hours, I dropped DH off to get his car and he went to work for a while, DS4 and I went home, let the chook children out - he calls them bok boks cos that's the sound they make - and did a few other necessary jobs.
When DH arrived home we decided to go to the park at our nearest town. Sometimes its nice to do things that you don't usually do, it was really lovely .... and we all had fun.
We were the only ones there surrounded by these beautiful gum trees.
Hope you had a great day :)
PS I've rushed through this post cos I'm sooo tired and just want my bed!
