I have yet another flight to catch to Melbourne tomorrow for the rest of the week. I like to walk to work, so stay in a fine hotel in Collins Street, but sometimes I wish the office was closer to the very elegant Villa Donati Boutique Hotel in Richmond.
Or it's edgier, funkier sibling Apartment 401 in Flinders Lane.
Life's a blur at the moment, keeping a minor Millie melt-down at bay is my Numero Uno priority.I've promised myself one early night tucked up with room service & some serious blog surfing. I'll be by soon, promise. As that famous Aussie pugilist once said 'I love youse all.'
Oh Mill's, They are real homes away from home. I think that it's early night's for you my girl with a bottle of Chris Archer's wine ! Try to get as much rest as you can Mill's to prevent the melt down......love youse back. XXXX
The Boutique hotel and apartment look wonderful, so inviting and comfortable. Why is it life always becomes really busy at this time of the year? Do hope you can get some early nights and find some Mills time, to relax.

Cool little places in my town that I don't know about! I hope you're ok, it sounds like you're ready to burst! It gets like that sometimes and a break is needed before we lose all perspective! When you have time, please check out my new shop. I would love your feedback. Rachaelxx
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.
Oh Mill's,

Hi!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say "Hello".
"Oh, the places you go."
Dr. Seuss and I agree about you.
"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."
