.....the weekend, so go off & enjoy every moment & I'm dreaming that this sublime French villa is mine for the next few days! Thank you so much for all the lovely messages left on the occasion of my 600th post yesterday. They were so delightful, I loved reading each & every one of them. And yes, I was remiss in not giving the hapless MOTH a big plug, so thanks to those who gave him an honorable mention.
Congrats Dear Millie on your 600 posts!!! That is some feat!!! 600 moments of pure entertainment.. and yes MOTH deserve some credit!! hehe ... You certainly deserve a rest now and I think that fine French Villa looks like a perfect place to do so!!! Have a lovely weeekend.. xxx Julie
It's the little things in life isn't it Millie? Like the country villa as so you've so beautifully illustrated. I'm packing the croquet and boules in the back of the Bongo Bus immediately!
Congratulations dear Fairy Blogmother on your 600th post...every single one a winner! I suppose MOTH deserves a plug, but until that bathroom is complete, it might be a mistake to spoil him. Have a wonderful weekend Millie 'n' MOTH-style! Meredy xo.
So sorry I missed that milestone Millie, but a huge congratulations. What an achievement, 600 packages of blogging at its best. You and MOTH deserve to celebrate. Have a wonderful weekend Sharon
There is something so romantic about a French home, be it Chateau or Gite. A week for all of us bloggers in that gorgeous one would be so great and such a laugh I think !!.....or, maybe just you and MOTH !!( depending on whether the BFH is finished !! Have a great weekend Mill's and MOTH. XXXX
I am very wickedly coveting that villa. It is stunning. Perhaps I could sneak in and hide a while! Thank you for your kind comment of encouragement. I think the hard part comes now, trying to 'get my name out there', but it is so lovely to have so many of you routing for me. Jenny 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!
Quote This!
'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.
Congrats Dear Millie on your 600 posts!!!
