Looks great! So nice to take on a mature garden too, takes the hard years out of it and makes it so enjoyable! (Says she with serious 1 yr old garden brain and money drain occurring!)

Gardening isn't really my think so hopefully maintaining it wont be too bad - or I guess I can pay someone

Thanks OE

There is a very large water tank in the garden and fixed watering system which is obviously working as it was a pretty dry winter. I'll just have to make sure it stays that way

Gawler is a lovely place to live. Large country town.

We used to take the train to the city,as it was cheaper than running the car and paying for parking.

Enjoy

May have spoke too soon

Heard that they may be a problem with the LMI so got to wait until next week to see if we're all good (hopefully if nothing else goes wrong). Feeling gutted

There may be copious amounts of alcohol in my not to distant future
