Au Revoir dad :(

Yesterday we said goodbye to Dad at the airport. The same terminal that we'd waited excitedly at two weeks ago was now shadowed by a  big grey cloud as we waved goodbye for another 7 months. Fin was distraught which left most of us in tears, one of the first emotional goodbyes of many no doubt.

In our attempt to restore normality and inject some sunshine back into our day we headed to the city for the Japan Festival where the kids had their faces painted and tried their hand at origami. Then us girls made our way to the shops for a bit of retail therapy. The beauty of having such little choice in Perth is knowing the shops that you do like will have something that fits/looks good, meaning trips to the mall are quick, easy and bearable for shopaphobic husbands. A quick whip around to Sportsgirl, Portmans and Witchery and I'd bagged a pair of black skinnies, a bag, top and undies....all in 45 mins. A personal record...

Glad you arrived home safely dad. Thanks for a lovely couple of weeks. We love and miss you and are counting the days till Christmas!

Goodbye dinner at Swan Brewery...yum

Hi Lara,
I have recently emigrated from the UK to Perth, and stumbled onto your blog last week when looking for someone in a similar situation.
Have enjoyed reading about your life here so far, but noticed that your blogs stopped in April - are you still in Australia?! Xx

I loved Australia when I was there for 6 months 20 yrs ago. I am also a Brit abroad. Englishdadinmoscow.com

I don't miss the UK do you?
