Home Sweet Home

As promised some photos of our new house. Come inside…

Research Stations and House 010 

The gardens at the side of the house are planted with Crepe Myrtle, a rather old fashioned plant that Mum and Dad had in their garden in Toowoomba. It looks beautiful. I can’t believe it grows in the tropics.

We have boys!

Who spend a great deal of their time in here….

The verandas, front and back, run the full length of the house and are fantastic in the Wet. For years we had a trestle table and plastic stacking  chairs for our entertainment setting. James promised me when we stopped moving we could buy a new one. Within weeks of moving I had purchased a nine seater from The Outdoor Furniture Specialists. Arrived on the last day of their sale, procured 20 % off and had numerous flat packed boxes delivered. That’s right! Poor James had to assemble eight wooden chairs and wrestle a black granite insert into the centre of the table. It looks great though and we spend lots of time relaxing out here.

After three Christmases here in Darwin with a winter weight feather doona encased in an ecru doona cover with a chenille throw, I gave up and bought a light weight quilted coverlet.
