NOW I remember why this is a bad idea. Lovely post, beautiful pictures and your home looks like paradise to me... though probably all of us can create our own paradises in our homes. My perspective is the USA northeast when winter is feeling really OLD! It's good to be back checking blogs again and yours always gives my soul respite.

A further privacy gate will also be shortly put in place. Altho' it is an apartment it is the size of a house.<br /><br />Tracy thanks for the kind wishes and for popping by<br /><br /><br />Ellen and Ayu - it is good to see you both<br /><br /><br />Hi Liss<br /><br />Buddha we found in China-town in Bris. over 25 years ago. He is an antique from Thailand and a very sweet door keeper...<br /><br /><br />Hi Bonnie<br />we are going to make an effort to enjoy our time here. We have never lived in an apartment before and have yet to experience the 'neighbour upstairs feeling' as it is only a holiday home for them and they are having finals works completed. Fortunately they will use it irregularly and will not holiday let it out. We also have independent access from the beach and from the garage so need never encounter the neighbours if we don't wish to. That is very comforting.<br /><br /><br />Wanda<br />thanks for your warm and reassuring message. We have decided to make the most of living at the beach and beside the park, and near the coffee shop!!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Hi Barry<br />I could share that summer warmth with you today...there is enough for both of us...thank you for your kind comments...<br /><br />Hello Sarah<br />I must agree that this town I live in is very special - many Australians think the same way and come here for their holidays...Not too hot -usually, not too many nasty critters and creatures in the deep...and such beautiful flora...and beaches for every sport... I'll take you down to my little cove below the house soon.<br /><br /><br />Hi Marion, crepe Myrtle sister, lovely to have you visit...<br /><br />Hello Rosaria<br />yes we get it hot but not like other parts of Au as we are still sub tropical being only 1/2 way up the east coast. Our rainfall is seasonal summer rain - often thunder storms and then we can be very dry in winter as I have shown in winter posts.<br /><br /><br />Hi Cyndy<br />The under planting is all new but I am now beginning to cut from the ground covers I put in a couple of months ago...and spread them out over the bank that runs down to the road. We are so lucky to have a good range of palms, cycads and shrubs existing in the vegetation that was able to be retained. My husband, who was the developer, made every effort to retain as many of the mature palms and trees as possible. I am also finding surprises beginning to shoot up from the ground mulch now that I am watering regularly.<br />Thanks for your interest Cyndy.<br /><br /><br />Happy days my friendsDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-81590595575132828342010-01-21T16:59:39.734+10:002010-01-21T16:59:39.734+10:00Hi Steven

I am coming up to the islands soon...Son # 1 is getting married in Kauai...<br /><br />Hi Sapphire<br />I love to learn of plants and trees that are familiar to us both and we find endearing. The myrtle is a comforting old fashioned sort of tree...don't you think?<br /><br /><br />Hi Lori<br />I have nature and climate on my side...and I love pottering in the garden too. In this case the canvas I was given was largely created. I only had to fill in the spaces.<br /><br /><br />Elcmae<br />I'm glad that your daughter enjoyed my friend's backpackers. It is a bit 'far out' - some vivid pink paint splashed around, with Asian artifacts...<br /><br /><br />Barb,<br />I hope you are feeling OK and can exercise enough to keep you from going stir crazy... We'll take another leisurely walk soon...it's lovely to have you with us...<br /><br />Hi Vicky<br />This is one of those lovely benefits of blogging - shared weather... <br /><br />I'm glad that you can take a break from the cold...<br /><br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-23981950031677910192010-01-21T16:41:21.757+10:002010-01-21T16:41:21.757+10:00Hi Janie

I have been in and out of the pool after an early 6am start to beat the sun and get more shrubs into the ground.<br /><br />Hi Kathleen - lover of gardenia...I haven't planted them before but have been picking them as I exit my gym after classes - attracted by the perfume...<br />I put in more gardenias yesterday. The nursery had a sale and I couldn't resist some more trailing prostrate ones for the rockery.<br />I wonder what I had in my wedding bouquet - I wasn't really a flower person (more of a Flower Person!- in an Ophelia outfit!) then I will have to look at the photos.<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-80482400181824415252010-01-21T16:27:13.387+10:002010-01-21T16:27:13.387+10:00OMG, gardenias--my favorite flower, even had it in...OMG, gardenias--my favorite flower, even had it in my wedding bouquet!
