Throughout lockdown our little guy got so used to sleeping in his cot that I didn’t think he’d actually sleep anywhere else. But sure enough, every day he’s down at the beach with us, having his lunch in the sand and then a long sleep under the umbrella, with the real life white noise of the ocean playing in the background šŸŒŠā˜€ļø @vinniestanderr

    Yesterday we took a drive up to West Head for a sh Yesterday we took a drive up to West Head for a short hike. The whole time I kept thinking about how lucky Sydneysiders are to have such easy access to tracks like this, many of which most of us probably don’t even know about. This one was a short loop via Resolute and West Head beaches and it was stunning. It was pretty cold yesterday so we didn’t swim, but if the weather was warmer you could jump in midway. I wouldn’t say it’s a secluded spot, but the nature is exquisite and the circuit is only about a 1.5 hour walk so (while steep!) it’s very doable with kids too. It was a perfectly spent first Mother’s Day :)
