Darling Jane.......so erudite, so compassionate, so funny, so generous, so witty, so loyal, so beautiful. Violets for a sense of calm & stillness sweet girl. We hold you in our hearts.
Oh Guru Millie, do you mind popping over to my blog and maybe post my suggestion (if you think it is a good idea)? Sorry to be so bold but I fell such an urgency to get this started and you have such a fan club....
Oh Mill's, What a lovely thought. I happened to see Jane's post when she had just written it.I know that she has such positive mental attitude that she will face this head on with the help of her family and friends around her. XXXX
Said with true compassion and class Millie. 2 months away and this is so sad to come back to. Now I know who the prayers are for as the prayer wheels turn in front of the Dalai Lama's temple... xxx
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.
Beautifully, beautifully said Millie.
