Living the gardening life on a suburban block in Sydney, Australia. As I head toward my dotage I prefer to let the garden have it's head, that way it continually surprises me. Plants pop up where least expected and I sit in the sun with a cup of coffee and watch it all happen. When there is not enough gardening to write about I've added our Sunday drives under Travels Around Sydney

the first rose of summer
...and those droplets on the rose are rain! yippee!!
(we are on level 3 water restrictions here in Sydney - that means we can water the garden with a hand held hose twice a week - my garden doesn't even get that, so it's smiles all round when we get a rare drop of the real thing)
g'dammit - I broke the whole stem off my cattleya trying to photograph it - oh well, it looks nice in the vase
we have a friend who grows orchids, these were his discards, he called them rubbish, luckily I was visiting that day and caught them on the way to the compost heap.

Ooooh - how come it has taken me so long to find you here. I am off to make another coffee and enjoy!
Wonderful to have a gardening blogger in Sydney. Love your photos, too; I've only seen a few so far. My husband and I seem to spend a fair bit of time, with cup of tea in hand, looking at what we want to do in the garden. It just takes a bit longer to actually do it.
oh visitors!! come in girls, the jug's on - Chloe I've come across before because I lurk around the crazy quilters, Alice I can't remember where I first saw your site, just following links, your garden looks like my sort of thing.
