As far as I’m concerned, Canberra is at its best in autumn and spring. The mornings are often clear and crisp and it’s lovely to get out and about. Today was just such a day, so I bundled the children into the pram and we set off for a walk by the lake.

We saw plenty of dogs, bikes and cars, as well as some swans and rowers, all of which kept Elena happy.

Hugo concentrated very hard on staying asleep. Cutie. I have a feeling he’s going to be quite an earnest child.

Eventually, Hugo woke up and the world was ending so we stopped for a break. Milk for Hugo and apple for Elena. Everyone was happy.
