Autumn
Autumn is rolling on into Sydney now and it’s caught me by surprise in many ways: so far, it’s been warmer and drier than Summer, and
in a way Summer never really seemed to start in the first place. My sleepy little suburb, Kensington (home to a sign saying “Smile, you’re in Kensington, and very little to smile about) is now slowly being covered in brown leaves and I find myself wondering what happens to the tropical plants over the road at this time of year. I’ve never seen a tropical plant outside of Summer. I kind of assumed it was always Summer anywhere they would grow.
I’m past the halfway mark on my time in Australia, which has really crept up on me. I feel like I’m only just starting to get settled in here, and I guess that in 2 months time I’ll probably just be starting to feel like I’m home before I have to throw my life into bags again and get back on the wagon. It’s a weird life, this whole travelling thing.
