The highlight of the blogging calendar each September is of course, Willow's Annual Willow Manor Ball. Willow is one of bloggy world's Superstars, a beautiful gal with the kindest of hearts, quickest of wits, sharpest of intellects & like moi, is a '56 vintage showing impeccable quality & great depth and richness. Her cyber Ball is attended by thousands of her dedicated fans & I warmly invite you to join us for a stellar night. Just drop by the Manor on the night, visit others who create a post especially for the occasion or join us by adding you own post via the Mr. Linky widget on the Manor's home page. I posted last yearhere & received visits from so many fellow party-goers, it was a grand night. Be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours hopping from post to post seeing what everyone else is wearing & most importantly, who they invited as their partner.
As dear Willow says 'Do some glamorous cyber shopping for that perfect gown or tuxedo and plenty of bling. Feel free to take the above poster to advertise on your blog. No need to brush up on those dance steps, since we all dance like Fred and Ginger in cyberspace.' For more information please visit Willow here. See you at the Manor next Thursday for another fabulous night of fun & frivolity!

And none will hear the postman's knock Without a quickening of the heart. For who can bear to feel himself forgotten? ~W.H. Auden
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!
Quote This!
'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.
