Autumn in Sydney/ Spring in Amsterdam

Autumn in Sydney can look like this, but it can also mean cold grey mornings and serious thoughts about investing in knee-high Ugg boots, of which there has been quite a bit this week. Cal is having a terrible week of waking up at all hours, calling for us to get into bed with him, which could be because it's so bloody cold in the mornings (16 degrees - I'm chuckling typing this, but it really does feel very cold here for some reason). 

But not as cold as Amsterdam in March, which is where David's off to this week. He'll be back for about 10 days to pick up some photography gear (and my sheepskin slippers). My friends back in A'dam are Instagraming pics of their kids, still in snow suits, exploring the first warmish days of spring in the city's parks after a long winter.
