Mine is so seldom achieved it is nearly vintage, but that is not your style, I fear. Indeed I like the look, but not the effort involved. I am more of an outdoors person. I have moved a little weatherboard cottage out from Sydney, to form my home. It has a pretty, yet basic design, but some nice features. It shall eventually be grateful to me that I saved it from demolition in Bankstown. <BR/>Nice to hear from you.<BR/>Where is Woodford, NSW? I know of one just over the border in Qld.<BR/>Grateful advice, so I can imagine your life the better. Only other blogger in Woodford is 20, likes wrecking cars, computers, etc. Perhaps a more typical resident? Sometimes the Internet helps us find new virtual neighbours, and build our own virtual community.Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1145742583982022012006-04-23T07:49:00.000+10:002006-04-23T07:49:00.000+10:00Hi Denis, best of luck with your treatments.

My friend has a one-man nursery operation in Nova Scotia, but he has a good website, with lots of photos of the species Peonies. These are like<BR/>wild flowered plants, mostly, showing their relationship to Poppies. Lovely plants, though, and very reliable. have a look:<BR/>http://plants.chebucto.biz/index.html Or you can search on "Summit Perennials".Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1145701610236575642006-04-22T20:26:00.000+10:002006-04-22T20:26:00.000+10:00Denis one must have a sense of humor when undergoi...Denis one must have a sense of humor when undergoing treatment and you have that.I shall be learning much about nature in Australia through your eyes!I thank you for visiting my blog and for your comments!See you again!<BR/>P.S.

By the way, I am not yet <I><B>that old</B></I> - so I disclaim being the inspiration for the title.<BR/>Sharon. Nice to meet you. I found that moving to a place where I knew no-one was the best social move I ever made. I guess it forced me to become more sociable. But some communities do lend themselves more to meeting people. Whereas, a friendly approach - in a city - might be regarded as intrusion. People are frightened to make an initial approach, often - but others are often happy to be talked to. It is that judgement we have to make. Nice to talk with you via the Net, anyway.Denis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-1145656048982390572006-04-22T07:47:00.000+10:002006-04-22T07:47:00.000+10:00I couldn't agree with you more Denis on your comme...I couldn't agree with you more Denis on your comment about villages...
