The Lost Archives: Kangaroo Inn With Willow
Read more: The Lost Archives: Kangaroo Inn With WillowAfter crossing the border from Victoria into South Australia in our camper van we travelled up the Limestone Coast.

Read more: Big news! New house but Willow hates the neighbours.

Read more: There’s Biscuits In The Tea Room, And Other Thoughts About TravellingIt’s just past 8pm and we’re in our campervan. Steph is on a work trip back to Hobart so it’s just me and Willow, enjoying a week or so down South from our home in Perth.

Willow’s Garden Antics, New Cat Job, and Flesh Wounds
Read more: Willow’s Garden Antics, New Cat Job, and Flesh WoundsIt’s hard moving to a new city. I know that might sound silly as the whole premise of the last 8 years of my life has been about moving to new places, but what I know now is that when you’ve decided to stay in one particular place- it’s hard. The reality is that I…

Flat Cat Meow: A New Start in the City of Perth
Read more: Flat Cat Meow: A New Start in the City of PerthI’m always amazed at how Willow adapts to new situations. On our travels, we are constantly in new environments and it’s impressive to see how she takes it all on and makes the most of every moment. So it wasn’t that much of a surprise when we moved into our new flat in Perth that…

We Found a Kitten in Our First Week in Perth! Willow Was Not Happy. Also, We Moved to Perth!
Read more: We Found a Kitten in Our First Week in Perth! Willow Was Not Happy. Also, We Moved to Perth!Quite a bit of time has passed since our last post and it’s hard sitting down to put it all into words. Arriving in Perth has been a rollercoaster ride and honestly, not quite how we imagined it was going to be. However, as I write this from our campervan home with Willow asleep on…

Willow and the Space Cat in Carnarvon
Read more: Willow and the Space Cat in CarnarvonAs we travelled down the coast having left Ningaloo Reef, we encountered vast desert plains of scrub, spinifex and red earth, not unlike the landscapes of much of our travels through arid outback Australia. So, when we arrived in the town of Carnarvon, it was like entering a desert oasis. The Gascoyne River, which begins…

New cardboard box for Willow and some long awaited new shoes for me
Read more: New cardboard box for Willow and some long awaited new shoes for meIf shoes say a lot about a person then I’m not sure what mine were saying about me. Realising that one could quite plainly see my socks through the 10c piece size holes in the sides, I knew it was time for a new pair. ‘Surely they have a few months left in them?’ I…
