Birthday blog for George

 Standing on Melbourne Street, looking towards the house  (shed closely next to house, actually) and looking along the red fence.

The red fence from the house.  Giant apple tree visible behind red fence.

Looking along red fence from inside the garden, towards Melbourne Street ie east.  Privet hedge runs along Melbourne Street.

Around red fence and looking at house, ie south.  We are in an orchard!!!!  Part of large apple tree visible on left.

From red fence, looking into old and tired orchard.  Grape vine visible.  Looking northerly - Melbourne Street just visible through gap in privet hedge on right.

Looking southerly to house from orchard: pears, apples, crab apples and some unidentified.  Note rubbish bins in centre of photo for later reference...

Ok.  Finished with red fence.  Now standing just outside property on corner of Melbourne and Kay Street.  Horizontal tarmac is highway.  Looking southerly down Melbourne Street to sea and our place.

Shed next to the house that previously we couldn't enter.  Note rather spekky doors.

Remember those rubbish bins?  They are on the outside of those spekky doors.  Note also wisteria and jasmine vines.  Now walk along path on the left, towards the house and mostly glassed in verandah.  There is a sliding door in the glassed-in verandah, between the weatherboard sheds and the house which leads to this bit of garden:

ie the Hills Hoist.  This is, more or less, the view from the kitchen.  The shed on the left is the garage, accessible from Kay Street.  Walk along the path  between the garage and the hedge.

 Looking back past the garage towards the house.  This is the bbq area, Matt.

Keep walking westerly and you come to this wisteria arbour.  Climb up a cuppla steps.  Wisteria arbour below, 

swimming pool before you.  Beyond the fence is Kay Street.

Return down the steps.  Bit more cutesy garden.

Then out of the garden and into the paddock.  Native trees to provide weather protection for sheep.

Get out of the property and on to Kay Street.  Looking easterly.  Garages on the left.  Melbourne Street at end of Kay Street.  Tandara Hotel on Tasman Highway just visible.

Turn 180 degrees and look down Kay Street.  Heavenly.
