I'm off to Sydney for the rest of the week for a New Product launch & the associated hard work & hooplah. Have a wonderful week & see you on Friday. Oh & MOTH my Darling, if you're reading this, don't forget Miss Millie has eyes & ears everywhere. Last time I went to Sydney for the week, certain loose lips (belonging to Sons 4 & 5) sunk your ship!
Millie, you crack me up. Hope you have a really productive week and that the house is still standing (perhaps with a completed bathroom?) upon your return. Meredith xo.
Millie, have an enjoyable time in Sydney. Did you ever considered writing a book or screen play or... You are so funny and great with words. So talented. X V
Life in the little village of Stirling in the hills above Adelaide in South Australia is just about as good as it gets! Enjoying a cool climate and 'hill-station' feel, Stirling is well-known for its 19th-century stone villas set on large grounds dense with roses, camellias, rhododendrons and huge old Oaks.
With 3 sons, 3 grandchildren & my work in a scientific business dominated by yes, more men, The Laurel Hedge was born out of my sheer desperation for something the boys just don't get & never will!

15 years of renovating was over - we'd just completed everything & were really enjoying our lovely old Victorian villa in the Eastern suburbs of Adelaide. However we'd always had a fondness for the country life & without warning we found ourselves transported by alien beings disguised as Real Estate Agents to a house on 1/2 acre of wild, rambling gardens in Stirling!
The house is circa 1972 & with all the 70's features. Open-faced brown brick walls, raked ceilings, exposed beams, split levels - totally yuk! However, it's inherent design is great & the location amazing - tucked behind a wonderful old laurel hedge in a quiet country lane in the heart of gorgeous Stirling.
