It's our mid-year Company Meeting so I'm flying up to Sydney again this morning for the rest of the week. The Agenda looks challenging, but I'm really looking forward to seeing my lovely interstate work colleagues. Memo to self: pace yourself girl! I'll call by on the weekend to see what you've all been up to.
I bet when you get back MOTH will have the bathroom finished. That was not a joke, if you are laughing. But I guess if it gave you a good laugh it was worth it. Have a great trip. Heidi
Millie..did you even get there? Given the dust? I hope you are well and safe. It has been terrible here n Brisbane/Gold Coast as well. I have been house bound all day. And A-M's house isn't white anymore. We are both struggling from the dust. And congrats on the water dams filling in SA. Jane of Janezworld
Hey Mills! Did you enjoy the show we put on for you??? Decorated the town in Red .. Only problem is I am still cleaning up [& coughing] after the Big RED Event. Poor A-M.. She copped it up there too!! Take care.. x Julie
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!

'No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it all too seriously.'
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.
I bet when you get back MOTH will have the bathroom finished. That was not a joke, if you are laughing. But I guess if it gave you a good laugh it was worth it. Have a great trip. Heidi

OMG, I hope the dust storm wasn't as awful as it looked on TV. They even say it might make it to NZ. David.
