Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.
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!
My gosh, what else can happen to our gorgeous part of the world? So much destruction we have had in the past few months.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely heartbreaking.
My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected and their loved ones.
