Happy Astralia Day to you both, Mill's and MOTH. I'm celebrating right along with you both by staying up all night, watching the Australian Open. Goodness knows how they play in that heat....I can remember Pete Sampras throwing up on court because of the scorching weather. Still, it all makes for an even more entertaining tournament !!!! Have a great day. XXXX
Happy Oz day to you ! I hope you had a fabulous day. Alice and her husband had a beautiful baby boy yesterday - Henry Victor (remember the mutual connection when I had a wedding photo on my blog) xx
Can you imagine that I was living deprived without ever having this until and Australian friend and neighbor made it for me and I thought, this is a bite of heaven! :) Happy Australia day mate. Reading, I am always up for a little motivation and challenge. Thanks for sharing. pve
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.
That pavlova looks divine - I made my first pavlova a couple of weeks ago - I hadn't had any since I moved to the US almost 20 years ago!
