Better off inside

Pleased to be indoors looking out on the backyard on this dismal day.

Land of Hope and Glory?

Safety first

With 12 grandchildren and a little dog who likes to wander we need to think of their safety.

We have decided to move the hedge at the side of our new property and to slightly mar our view of the Lake by erecting a pool fence around our backyard. This should prevent said children and dog from running off or sampling the inviting waters of Lake Macquarie.

Some men of the family are currently at work digging out the hedge. Our neighbour is delighted as removing the hedge will open up her view of the Lake.
