The glorious spring weather encouraged a resumption of my exercise regime. We parked near the Hyatt Hotel, originally one of the hostels built for people moving to the new city.
I kept up a good pace past the croquet club
past the Magna Carta monument
along the tree lined pedestrian avenue
through the rose gardens, not yet in bloom
past the front of Old Parliament House
through the rose gardens on the other side, where the wisteria isn't quite in flower yet
but the blossom trees are
about here I started to feel my age
reaching the lake we turned to head back
past the National Gallery
where the wattle and hardenbergia are in full bloom
I wondered if I could get a lift
but with no jetty near where we parked I didn't fancy trying to leap ashore
the Manchurian pears are a lovely sight in early spring
pretty blossoms
around here I had to tell Hubby to stop talking about how far we've walked
almost back to the car
the Chinese Garden was near where we parked
and we couldn't resist going over to admire the magnolias
and the traditional structures
and then it was time for home.
