Joy of joys, my painstakingly prepared budget forecasts for FY11/12 have been rejected by management on the first round of negotiations, so back to hours of rejigging units again line by line. Which means I'll be a bad Blogger for a while longer. Note to Management: You can't continue to milk the old cash cow for all she's worth, as one day she'll just dry up completely!
Unlike, Millie. Mr PB works with numbers like that all day. I don't know how you do it. Best of British and I hope the next version is accepted promptly. J x
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!

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.
