Introducing Brigitte

This post goes all the way back to April, when our new car finally arrived. It took what felt like an eternity for the paperwork to be finalised, but the car was eventually ours the weekend after Easter. Her name is Brigitte Peugeot.

We took her out for a drive that Sunday, with the girls (aka dogs) in the back. Myf was rather offended that she had been relegated to the very back of the from the backseat. It didn't matter to Morgan - all car travel is an attempt on her life.

Our first stop was Woodend where we called in at the brewery for refreshments and to stock up our fridge. Cute 'cellar door' and great beer. I highly recommend it.

Next stop was Hanging Rock for a walk with the girls. Dogs aren't allowed up to the rock itself, so we walked around the base. Turned out to be a great move because everyone else was on the other walking trail. It was very quiet and secluded so it was hard to believe it was only an hour out of Melbourne.

We did at one point hear some rustling in the bushes and got the distinct impression we weren't alone... can you see our audience?

We drove home via Daylesford, but didn't stop. 

Roadtrip number one was a great success (notwithstanding Morgan), so we're very pleased with our new addition.

  1. Love the new car! She's gorgeous!
    And poor Morgan! Does she spend the entire time whimpering, or panting like a dog possessed?

    Gorgeous pics of your walk too - looks like the perfect day!
