Terrace Time










If MOTH absolutely forced me to move back to Victoria with him (see last week's Spray Farm post) then there's only one suburb in Melbourne for me & that's the wonderful East Melbourne.

Something like this beauty in gorgeous Powlett St. complete with yes, you guessed it, another Paul Bangay garden! However, I have a feeling the lovely Ewa from Ewa's garden will leave a comment about the lack of garden seating - & of course, she's quite right!

However, even with Spray Farm on the weekends & this beauty during the week & 3 of our boys now Melbournites - I'd still have to be anaesthetized for the move & this is absolutely no reflection on my Melbourne friends but I'm just an Adelaide 'Hillsbilly' now through & through!

    This too too lovely.... I would have to give up my US citizenship for this.... if Obama doesn't win .... the thought of moving has crossed my mind.
    Anyway... you mentioned my photo safari -- I would love to do several in Australia... if I could round up the people it would be help pay for the trip..

    I love this formal type of garden. It suits Melbourne perfectly! And the terrace house - just great! So European .

    The last picture is my fav. I need to get some letters like that for my wall...... I wouldn't live the Hills if I lived there either! xx

    A lovely spacious terrace. You do find the most beautiful pictures. I loved living in Melbourne, so if you don't think it even begins to compare with the Adelaide hills I really must book a trip to see what all of the fuss is about!!!

    I love that terrace in the 2nd photo.
    I wouldn't mind living there either.
    Happy Halloween!

    Oh I do love ALL these images! I love Melbourne also and I'm busting to go back for a visit. Like you, I don't know that I could leave my beloved Sydney harbour to live there though.
