Though now of course with the water restrictions, those 'great Queensland gardens' are few and far between; mine couldn't survive in current conditions. <BR/><BR/>Victoriae, it was kind of romantic, special couch bonding couple time. Now our conversations centre around how tired we are, which has its own intimacy. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for stopping by, Geoof. Inelegant sufficiency is my favourite piece as well.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346897774489967919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-21727678914038181232007-07-21T15:12:00.000+10:002007-07-21T15:12:00.000+10:00It is influential on our lives isn't it?

Right now in the depth of this bitter cold I dream about being back in the tropical heat of Weipa and find myself wondering did we make the decision to leave that lifestyle to hasitly? I love love winter, especially here in Tassie..winter is just so rich here and invigorating. But I do miss having only two seasons: wet and dry and all that came with living in those conditions. And as much as I love the gardens around here and all that they contain, I am partial to a great Queensland garden :)traceyleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480148766111646652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-22993171948461150802007-07-20T19:58:00.000+10:002007-07-20T19:58:00.000+10:00The weather is so influencial on our lives, no won...The weather is so influencial on our lives, no wonder we love to talk about it - it is fascinating - all the implications.. Such nice thought that you and your man would discuss the weather and the weather report each night. I think that's romantic.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08537957489838390473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-58677979251250436472007-07-20T13:58:00.000+10:002007-07-20T13:58:00.000+10:00Hi Kris,Thanks for your comments at the blog.Thoug...Hi Kris,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments at the blog.<BR/><BR/>Thought I'd come and pay a visit, have a browse around.

They were good days.Tamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951140027714757272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-63330090296946296852007-07-20T10:34:00.000+10:002007-07-20T10:34:00.000+10:00Kris, this was one of my all time favourites too. ...Kris, this was one of my all time favourites too. I remember experiencing serious garden envy every time I visited, and saw your wonderful, verdant patch full of colour and life - and brush turkeys I seem to recall! I'm sure the purists would turn up their noses, but a filled in pool is really an inspired site for a garden - deep deep soil and, one would hope, perfect drainage! I'm glad you have a photo of it in all it's glory, to remember it by.Tamsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951140027714757272noreply@blogger.com
