A happy weekend to everybody. I'm flying to Western Australia on Monday morning to work for the week. Haven't driven in Perth before, but have bitten the bullet this time & hired a car. Have 7 clients to see & they are situated all over, so wish me luck, as MOTH says my direction-finding molecule is non-existent. How unkind of him!
Millie, just remember if the beach/ocean is on your right your are heading south and if i's on your left you are going north. Inland? well good luck! I am loving your blog, though reading in a 'reader' seems to feel one step away. But I am here every day keeping up. You sure have a great job now - loved the Nurse picture and the farm in Victoria. Have a great trip. Jane ps I love going to Hilary's when in Perth, the resturants the sea air its all fab!!
You can take me if you want Millie. I am really good with directions!! I haven't been to Perth before...do you think I will fit in your suitcase? Have a great time. Ness xx
This picture makes me want to go 'ahhhh'. Such a relaxing feel to it. Good luck with your Perth trip - maybe a car with GPS might be the way to go? Catherine
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.
Oh me too, my sense of direction is hopeless - but I like to think it makes it more fun that way!?!
ReplyDeleteHave fun in the 'wild west' xx
I wish I was down in Perth so we could have a champagne ... alas I am 1000km up the coast! Have a great trip Millie xx
