Going for a walk

I have loved going on walks from as young as I can remember. My dad used to take me on journeys through fields and footpaths, over fences and dodging cow-pats!

I have also been able to take my children on walks, albeit less exciting than under my father's guide! 

This is a picture of me and Lauren when she was young. She loved having a walk around and seeing nature and feeling the breeze:



Lauren and I went on an endless amount of walks during free afternoons while Fidelia was at university. It was a highlight and if I was lucky she would fall asleep on my shoulder before we made it back home!

I haven't been as passionate about taking Leah on walks, but we do go for a saunter around Bukit Sekilau occasionally.




Leah loves getting out the house and seeing cats. She's crazy about cats and makes so many 'meow' sounds when we come across a cat. That is definitely her highlight of going out with daddy!

  3. I used to make cat sounds as a child too. It's funny how everyone does it.

  7. Hi Duncan! I loved taking my kids on nature walks in the mountains, or strolls around Charleston. They are all grown-up now, and moved away. My daughter still likes hikes when she can get a vacation from work :^)
