Come with me on my morning walk.
I walk down our street and I meet Helen. We walk into the forest at the end of the street.
After 15 mins we come to the picnic area where we meet some more ladies in one of the carparks.
Then we all set off along one of the many trails in the forest.
We often see wallabies along the way.
Sometimes we walk through the swampy Tea Tree Forest on a boardwalk.
We leave the forest for a short walk to Lake Dennis and then return to the forest.
We climb lots of hills and do a lot of chatting.
We leave the forest and walk into........
the gate of the village.
Up the hill to the top
and turn into our street. It takes us an hour and we walk about 4k. Then it s time for breakfast and a cuppa. I love Daisy Hill Forest and I love my morning walks although cold, dark, winter mornings are a bit challenging.
I start to get jealous ! Not only you have this awful move and get rid of old stuff behind you, but the new place is really so beautiful ! Even I, lazy person would walk with you !
ReplyDeleteThat looks good to have a walk together to start the day. Great surroundings.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure that your cold and dark winter mornings are quite like those of Melbourne. Your exercise regime sounds terrific and social connections are there too.
ReplyDeleteHello, I enjoyed the walk with you. The wallaby is cute, love the little one. Pretty views of the forest and lake. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletegood to see you back on your blog and to find you walking these beautiful trails. I want to see a wallaby, I really do. and I would love to walk with you ladies. I wish I could find someone who wants to walk.
ReplyDeleteDiane, you certainly cover good ground in an hour and of course, you get a lot of talking done. I don't ever want to be without friends of my ilk and age. You surroundings are beautiful and look so peaceful. It's good to see you back on blogger. I have always enjoyed your posts. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely perfect Diane! I love the sound of your new abode and the every morning walk is such a super way to start the day..you have inspired me a bit to get out and walk more!
ReplyDeleteThere is a wonderful charm in being able to do such things and I enjoyed my walk with you this morning (even if it was from 8000 (?) miles away)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab place to walk. I agree walking on chilly days is not so easy :-) Take care t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, what a beautiful forest and lake. I keep meaning to walk before breakfast but rarely do. Maybe it'd be easier with someone to walk with. Not too many wallabies around here... the baby in the pouch is cute.
ReplyDeleteThe lake photo is really lovely, all photos are and what a wonderful walk n talk you must have.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, That sounds like such an idyllic walk. I do admire you for sticking to it when mornings are cold and dark.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you have a great place for morning walks and some wonderful friends to enjoy the walk with.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about 'cold, dark mornings'... I HATE to get out of my nice, warm bed --but once I'm up, I love walking early in the morning.... We've had a lot of rain recently which makes walking a challenge --but we NEED the rain after our big drought last year.
ReplyDeleteLove love love your new home and area... Having such a great place to walk is so special... Bet you have already meat tons of new friends.
Hugs,
Betsy
How nice to have such interesting walking trails right out your door. Wildlife and everythIng! And good for you, getting an hour's exercise.
ReplyDeleteI loved my walk through the forest - beautiful & green - what a super way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely long walk Diane. Beautiful photos too - the Tea Tree looked like a painting!
ReplyDeleteCheers and happy days :D)
What a wonderful way to start the day! Thanks for taking us along this time :)
ReplyDeleteProud of you for keeping up the walks even when the weather is a bit unfavorable. I was never good at that. Wonderful to have friends to share the morning walk .... you are a bunch of dedicated women! beautiful walk too. (I'll never get used to the casual 'sometimes we see a wallaby...' .. )
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely walk you go on with a group of friends. Looks like you are settling into your new home. Happy for you Diane :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane for taking us along on your morning walk. I feel like I could use some breakfast now too and all I did was read and look at your lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYou have a refreshing environment to take walks in, wallabies included.
